Abstract
A system includes a processor and a memory in communication with the processor. The memory includes executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to control the device to perform functions of receiving a first communication sent from a first device associated with a first user via a communication network, the first communication intended for a second device associated with a second user and in communication with the first device via the communication network; determining that the first communication is related to scheduling a meeting between the first and second users; identifying a time slot for the meeting based on second user schedule information; automatically generating a second communication responding to the first communication on behalf of the second user, the second user communication including an indication of the identified time slot for the meeting; and causing the second communication to be displayed on at least one of the first and second devices. The system thus reduces or eliminates unnecessary communications exchanged between users to schedule a meeting.
