Abstract
Communications are monitored for user intentions related to user tasks such as meeting scheduling and the like. When an intention (e.g. mention of a meeting) is determined from the communications, candidate task actions (e.g., scheduling meeting) are initiated and/or stored. At an appropriate event trigger (e.g. completion of communications), a user can be prompted with a list of candidate task actions and can select which actions to perform. Action profilescan also be incorporated to allow customization of how task actions are completed. These profiles can be called at the time of task action execution to guide the action fulfillment. The profiles can be user and/or system generated and/or provided by third parties and the like. The task actions are typically performed utilizing task related applications to fully execute the task action so that additional user input is not required.
