According to one embodiment, a method, computer system, and computer program product for ancillary speech generation is provided. The present invention may include receiving a query from a querent; interpreting the terms of the query using schema information; rewriting the initial query into a set of related queries; pruning related queries that are irrelevant based on contemporary circumstances; retrieving preferences associated with the querent, where each of the preferences is assigned a weight representing the importance of that preference to the querent; filtering out the pruned related queries that do not comport with the querent's preferences; sort the filtered related queries according to the weight of the preferences served by each query; answering the filtered related queries with a knowledge graph; returning answers to the querent; and updating the preferences based on the answers.
