Abstract

Methods and apparatus related to determining reply content for a reply to an electronic communication and providing the reply content for inclusion in the reply. Some of those implementations are directed to determining, based on an electronic communication that includes an event and is sent to a user, reply content that is tailored to the electronic communication and tailored to schedule data of the user that is temporally related to the event, and providing the reply content for inclusion in a reply by the user to the electronic communication. For example, the reply content may be automatically included in the reply and/or suggested for inclusion in the reply.
