Automatically detecting and storing entity information for assistant systems

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• receive, from a first client system associated with a first user, a message sent from the first user to a second user in a message thread between the first and second users;
• analyze the message from the first user to identify one or more intents and one or more slots of the received message, wherein at least one of the identified intents is an intent to offer entity information, and wherein one or more of the slots comprise values for entity information extracted from the message, wherein the entity information is of a particular information type associated with an entity, and wherein the entity belongs to a particular entity domain;
• compute a confidence score for the intent to offer entity information based on user behavior history records associated with the second user;
• send, to a second client system associated with the second user, if the confidence score exceeds a threshold score, instructions for presenting a suggestion within the message thread to the second user to store the values for entity information extracted from the message in association with a profile record for the entity, wherein privacy settings associated with the second user indicate that values of entity information can automatically be stored with the profile records for the respective entities;
• and
• receive, from the second client system associated with the second user, an indication from the second user confirming the values for entity information extracted from the message should be stored with the profile record for the entity.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a non-transitory memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive, from a first client system associated with a first user, a message sent from the first user to a second user in a message thread between the first and second users;
• analyze the message from the first user to identify one or more intents and one or more slots of the received message, wherein at least one of the identified intents is an intent to offer entity information, and wherein one or more of the slots comprise values for entity information extracted from the message, wherein the entity information is of a particular information type associated with an entity, and wherein the entity belongs to a particular entity domain;
• compute a confidence score for the intent to offer entity information based on user behavior history records associated with the second user;
• send, to a second client system associated with the second user, if the confidence score exceeds a threshold score, instructions for presenting a suggestion within the message thread to the second user to store the values for entity information extracted from the message in association with a profile record for the entity, wherein privacy settings associated with the second user indicate that values of entity information can automatically be stored with the profile records for the respective entities;
• and
• receive, from the second client system associated with the second user, an indication from the second user confirming the values for entity information extracted from the message should be stored with the profile record for the entity.
