A system for presenting help information relating to a user of a computer program based on context of the computer program is provided. The system receives an indication of a generic request and identifies the context of the computer program at the time of the request. The context may include information that is currently being displayed by the computer program and metadata relating to the user and the computer program. The system selects help information based on the context such that the selected help information varies based on information that is currently being displayed and the metadata. The system then presents the help information to the user.
