Aspects of the technology described herein can provide assisted-communication with an intelligent personal assistant. An exemplary computing device may use a profile handler to receive a user profile of a user and a system profile of an interactive communications system. Moreover, a context handler in the exemplary computing device may receive an indication of a communication event related to the user, such as a call or message, and context information associated with the event. Further, a communication handler in the exemplary computing device may use the context information, the user profile, and/or the system profile to navigate the interactive system for the user. In some instances, where a user is unavailable to address a communication event, the intelligent personal assistant may utilize the communication handler to intercept the communication and negotiate the session on behalf of the user.

Assisted-communication with intelligent personal assistant

A conversation assistance resource system is provided to connected a user to a resource based on a predicted user need. The conversation assistance resource system monitors user signals relative to a user profile associated with the user. The user profile is based on previously received user signals and includes user preferences, interests, etc. A user need is predicted based on a received user signal. A resource is identified based on the predicted user need and the user profile relative to the resource profile. A communication channel is established between the user and the resource responsive to confirmation by the parties such that the user may query the resource to resolve the predicted user need.
