The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for automatically converting one or more emails to one or more chat conversations and for automatically converting a chat conversation to an email thread.

Systems and methods for converting emails to chat conversations

Systems and methods consistent with the disclosure receive as an input content selected from a previous communications session with a first user, receive an input selecting a second user different from the first user, identify an object in the selected content to determine information descriptive for the selected content, initiate a new communications session with the second user, and transmit a message to the second user, including the descriptive information for the selected content.

Systems and devices and methods for initiating communications based on selected content

A communications device comprising at least one processing device configured to receive an input selection for use in connection with a communications session, including content of a portion of a chat associated with at least one first user and contact information associated with a second user, wherein the second user is different from the at least one first user. The at least one processing device is further configured to identify at least one object in the selected content to determine information describing the chat portion, and to initiate a communications session with at least one terminal device associated with the second user based on the contact information. The at least one processing device is also configured to transmit a message, including the determined information, to the at least one terminal device associated with the second user.
