Abstract

An electronic device suggests contacts and calendar events for users based on their messages. The device can analyze a user's messages for contact and event information and automatically generate or update suggested contacts and calendar events for the user based on this information. The suggested contacts and calendar events can be searchable as if they were manually entered by the user, and the user can choose to add or ignore the suggested contacts and calendar events.
