Systems and processes for providing response suggestions are provided. In one example process, a textual representation of a message is received. Based on the textual representation of the message, one or more response categories and a predetermined number of suggested inputs corresponding to each of the one of more response categories are obtained. Based on the predetermined number of suggested inputs corresponding to each of the one of more response categories, one or more suggested inputs for each of the one or more response categories are determined. The one or more suggested inputs are provided as response suggestions to the message.

Providing message response suggestions

Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. For example, a first message is received, wherein a semantic representation of the first message is obtained. In accordance with a determination that the semantic representation of the first message is within a predefined distance of a stored semantic representation, one or more stored reply message representations within the predefined distance of the semantic representation of the first message are identified. The one or more stored reply message representations may correspond to one or more messages previously sent, by a user of the electronic device, in response to a previously received second message. The second message may be semantically similar to the first message. One or more reply messages are provided based on the one or more identified reply message representations, wherein the one or more reply message suggestions are provided as suggested responses to the first message.
