DIGITAL ASSISTANT WITH PREDICTIONS, NOTIFICATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

Abstract:

Techniques for implementing a digital assistant that provides proactive notifications to users, summarizes data and relevant situations, forecasts/predicts future outcomes, simulates outcomes under different assumptions, generates recommendations to improve observed or assumed situations, and provides explanations for calculated outcomes are disclosed. In some example embodiments, a computer system is configured to detect a data change in one or more data sources, the data change corresponding to a monitored data object, generate a predicted future value for the monitored data object based on the detected data change, identify a deviation between the predicted future value and a planned future value for the monitored data object, determine that the identified deviation is relevant for a specific user at a specific time and in a specific context, and cause a notification corresponding to the deviation to be displayed on a computing device based on the determination that the deviation is relevant.
