Abstract
A messaging server employs a chat agent for gather and transmitting abbreviations and definitions via a messaging application. In this application, abbreviations include acronyms, shortened phrases, and colloquial terms or language. Definitions describe an abbreviation and may include textual information and contextual media. The chat agent may receive an abbreviation and definition from a user or may automatically determine the abbreviation and definition from messages on the messaging application. The chat agent transmits the definition and abbreviation to an approval system, which verifies the definition. Once approved, the abbreviation database stores the abbreviation and definition. When another user requests the definition for an abbreviation, the chat agent queries abbreviation database and returns the definition in a message to the user via the messaging application. In some embodiments, the abbreviation database stores abbreviations and definitions in relation to group tags, which describe user groups within the messaging application.
