Actionable suggestions for activities
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for providing actionable suggestions are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving (i) an indication that an event detection module has determined that a shared event of a particular type is presently occurring or has occurred, and (ii) data referencing an attribute associated with the shared event. The method includes selecting, from among multiple output templates that are each associated with a different type of shared event, a particular output template associated with the particular type of shared event detected by the module. The method generates a notification for output using at least (i) the selected particular output template, and (ii) the data referencing the attribute associated with the shared event. The method then provides, for output to a user device, the notification that is generated.
1 . A method implemented by one or more processors, the method comprising:
identifying first user data associated with a first user;
identifying additional user data associated with an additional user;
determining, based on the first user data and the additional user data, that:
the first user and the additional user are associated with one another, and
both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend a shared event;
in response to determining that the first user and the additional user are associated with one another, and that both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend the shared event, wherein the first user data includes one or more first messages and the additional user data includes one or more additional messages, and wherein determining that both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend the shared event comprises:
processing one or more of the first messages and one or more of the additional messages; and
determining, based on one or more of the first messages and one or more of the additional messages, that both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend the shared event;
causing a client application installed on a first user device of the first user to provide a prompt to share media content with at least the additional user via an additional user device of the additional user, wherein the media content is provided based on both the first user and the additional user being scheduled to attend the shared event, wherein the prompt is provided prior to both the first user and the additional user attending the shared event, and wherein the prompt is selectable by the first user via the first user device.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the shared event is a virtual event.
3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the virtual event is a virtual game session, a video streaming session, and/or a virtual meeting session.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the shared event is associated with a physical environment.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the media content is associated with a ride sharing application.
6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user data includes first user sensor data based on output of one or more sensors of the first user device, wherein the additional user data includes additional user sensor data based on output of one or more sensors of the additional user device, and wherein causing the client application installed on the first user device of the first user to provide the prompt to share media content with at least the additional user is based on the first user sensor data and the additional user sensor data.
7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first user sensor data and the additional user sensor data indicate that the first user and the additional user are currently located at the shared event.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first user sensor data and the additional user sensor data indicate that the first user is currently proximate to the additional user.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the first user sensor data and the additional user sensor data indicate one or more shared attributes of a current environment of the first user and a current environment of the additional user.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the one or more shared attributes are determined based on data exchanged during a virtual game session, a video streaming session, and/or a virtual meeting session.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein an attribute of the one or more shared attributes is of the virtual game session, and the attribute is determined based on a console that is used to engage in the virtual game session.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein selection of the prompt by the first user enables sharing of the media content via a chat channel for at least the first user and the additional user.
13 . A system comprising:
one or more computers comprising one or more processors, and one or more storage devices storing instructions that are operable, when executed by the one or more computers, to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
identifying first user data associated with a first user;
identifying additional user data associated with an additional user;
determining, based on the first user data and the additional user data, that:
the first user and the additional user are associated with one another, and
both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend a shared event, wherein the first user data includes one or more first messages and the additional user data includes one or more additional messages, and wherein determining that both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend the shared event comprises:
processing one or more of the first messages and one or more of the additional messages; and
determining, based on one or more of the first messages and one or more of the additional messages, that both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend the shared event;
in response to determining that the first user and the additional user are associated with one another, and that both the first user and the additional user are scheduled to attend the shared event:
causing a client application installed on a first user device of the first user to provide a prompt to share media content with at least the additional user via an additional user device of the additional user, wherein the media content is provided based on both the first user and the additional user being scheduled to attend the shared event, wherein the prompt is provided prior to both the first user and the additional user attending the shared event, and wherein the prompt is selectable by the first user via the first user device.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the shared event is a virtual event.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the virtual event is a virtual game session, a video streaming session, and/or a virtual meeting session.
16 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the shared event is associated with a physical environment.
