Abstract

A virtual assistant receives a message including message content from a client device. The virtual assistant determines an intent to organize an event and initial parameters for the event based on the message content. The virtual assistant retrieves a set of messages related to the received message from a data store and refines the initial parameters based on the related messages. A set of potential recommendations is generated based on the refined event parameters and the virtual assistant selects one or more of the potential recommendations to surface to users. The selected recommendations are sent to the client device for presentation to the user.
