Updating user-specific instances of a second application for individual users of a group based on a data file for the second application being shared via a collaboration object that corresponds to the group within a first application. The instances of the second application present each individual user with their own custom user experience that is configured to provide access to specific content based on object permissions data. An application extension is executable, by the first application, to extend content editing functionalities of the second application into the collaboration object. Responsive to specific content being associated with the collaboration object via the application extension, each of the instances of the second application may be automatically updated to provide direct access to the specific content. Thus, each user within the group defined for collaboration object can access the data file via the collaboration object and their own instance of the second application.

A digital assistant supported on devices such as smartphones, tablets, personal computers, game consoles, etc. exposes an updated and enhanced set of alarm functions to improve a device's user wake-up routines by applying automation rules to a variety of collected or sensed data and inputs in a context-aware manner in order to surface user experiences and content that are contextually meaningful and catered to the particular device user. The digital assistant can support an alarm system having network connectivity to other devices and external systems that enables the user to set an alarm and be awoken using a wide variety of stimuli such as sounds, voice, music, lights, and tactile sensations and then be given a summary of the upcoming day using verbal narration and graphical displays on the device.

Systems and methods are provided that securely authenticate a user of a web application. For example, the user may utilize a bot from within a first application, such as a chat application. The user may request the bot to access a second application (e.g., a social-networking application) that is remote from the first application. If the bot does not have authorization, the bot may redirect the user to a webpage for the second application, where the user may enter login credentials. Upon verification, the second application may provide an access token to a webpage associated with the bot. To authenticate the bot user, the bot webpage may generate and cache a nonce that is transmitted back to the first application, which then transmits it to the bot. The bot may then compare the received nonce with the cached nonce. If the nonces match, the user may be securely authenticated.
