Abstract
Systems and methods enable a computing system to recognize a sequence of repeated actions and offer to automatically repeat any such recognized actions. An example method includes determining a current sequence of user actions is similar to a previous sequence of user actions, determining whether the previous sequence is reproducible and, when reproducible, initiating display of a prompt that requests approval for completing the current sequence based on the previous sequence and, responsive to receiving an indication of approval, completing the previous sequence. Another example method includes determining that a first current sequence of user interactions is complete and is not similar to any saved sequence of user interactions, saving the first current sequence as a previous sequence, identifying a second current sequence as satisfying a similarity threshold with the previous sequence, and initiating display of a prompt that requests approval for saving the previous sequence as a shortcut.
