Abstract

Systems and methods can suggest applications and/or recipients for a user of a computing device to perform communication. The suggestions can be provided on a user interface for a user to select. A suggestion engine can use historical user interactions that include a recipient, a communication application used to communicate with the recipient, and contextual data to determine which application and/or recipients to suggest. The user interactions may occur in a variety of ways, e.g., after a content object has been selected within a host application, where a communication application is selected thereafter. Multiple models may be used to provide the suggestions, such as a pattern model or a cluster model that uses recent user interactions. As another example, a heuristics model may also be used.
