Abstract

A method includes receiving inputs indicative of a user state of a user. The inputs include sensor inputs from one or more sensors, application inputs received from one or more software applications, and user inputs received from a graphical user interface. The method includes determining possible information for the user based on the received inputs and executing behaviors having corresponding objectives. Each behavior is configured to evaluate the possible information based on whether the possible information is related to the corresponding objective. The method further includes selecting suggested information from the possible information based on evaluations of one or more behaviors for presentation to the user.
