Abstract
A digital assistant supported on computing devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, personal computers (PCs), wearable devices, game consoles, smart home devices and the like is configured with a notification system that interfaces with applications and/or other systems and resources so that the digital assistant may collect notifications across a range of a user's devices. The digital assistant may utilize a natural language interface (which may cooperate with touch and gesture interfaces) and applies awareness of context and user's behaviors to intelligently present the collected notifications on a single device for the user as a native digital assistant user experience. The digital assistant can sort notifications, group notifications together, and interact with the user to answer questions, provide information and status, and enable the user to action on a notification from the collection.
