Abstract
In examples, a set of actions performed by a user is identified as an action sequence. If user performance of the same action sequence or similar action sequences exceeds a predetermined threshold, a recommendation to create a macro may be generated. The macro may have one or more associated triggers, such that it may be invoked using voice input or via a user interface, among other examples. A macro may have an associated context in which it applies. In some instances, a trigger used to invoke the macro comprises an indication as to such a context. For example, the macro may be invoked in the context of a document, such that one or more document parts are processed accordingly. As another example, the macro may be invoked to process multiple documents, as may be related in subject matter or associated with the same application.
