System for automatically augmenting a message based on context extracted from the message

Abstract

An augmentation service receives message information about a message being authored by a message sender. The augmentation service calls a topic extraction service to extract a topic from the message information and then accesses inferences, based upon the topics, to identify a suggested augmentation to the message. The suggested augmentation is surfaced for the sender of the message. Similarly, a messaging system can process the message prior to sending it to a recipient and insert suggested augmentations into the message so that the recipient sees a message which has additional content over that which was sent by the sender.
