Abstract
Aspects of the technology described herein identify a trusted group of devices that collaborate to minimize device limitations (e.g., data use, bandwidth, battery life, and the like). Personal assistant services or cloud-based services utilize user data (e.g., web browsing, calendar entries, communication data, social networks, and the like) and device data (e.g., location data, Bluetooth beacons, Wi-Fi, and the like) provided by user devices to identify devices in the trusted group of devices. A handshake between the devices establishes a means of communication and a selected topology. A hub device is selected from the trusted group of devices to upload or download relevant data based on the selected topology. The hub device shares the relevant data with the member devices via the established means of communication.
