Techniques are described herein that are capable of implementing a context-aware digital personal assistant (DPA) that supports multiple accounts and/or facilitating interaction among digital personal assistants. For example, a user may be signed-in with accounts of a DPA. Content from content streams associated with the respective accounts may be selectively combined based on at least the user's context. In another example, users who are signed-in with accounts of a DPA may share a user experience provided by the DPA. Content from content streams associated with the respective accounts may be selectively combined based on at least one or more of the users' context. In yet another example, a first DPA associated with a first user may be caused to perform an operation on behalf of a second DPA associated with a second user or to delegate the operation to the second DPA.

Facilitating interaction among digital personal assistants

Context-aware digital personal assistant supporting multiple accounts

Techniques are described herein that are capable of presenting a synthesized alert using a digital personal assistant. A synthesized alert is an alert that is synthesized from multiple subsets of information. Examples of a subset of information include but are not limited to at least one notification (e.g., enterprise alert), at least one calendar entry, at least one document (e.g., word processing document, spreadsheet, Web page, image, audio file, video file, etc.), raw data, processed data, at least one output of an executable, and any combination thereof.

Presenting a synthesized alert using a digital personal assistant

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to creating and using deltas to modify existing computer code. In aspects, computer code may be translated into a higher level language to make it easier for a software developer to modify the computer code. The translated computer code may be presented by an editing tool that presents a user interface that allows changes to be made to the translated computer code. A delta engine may then determine a delta that indicates the changes to perform on the existing computer code to create computer code that would result from compiling the translated computer code as changed via the editing tool. Later, this delta may be used to change the existing computer code after it has been loaded to add or change debugging hooks or other features of the computer code.
