A method for coordinating and assisting resource collaboration, the method comprising:

• scanning, by a computer system, a plurality of disparate sources to retrieve user data for upcoming events, wherein the plurality of sources includes a remote calendaring application, social media accounts, emails, and electronic messages;
• identifying, by the computer system, a potential resource providing event from the upcoming events using contextual information about the upcoming events to determine the nature of the upcoming events;
• identifying, by the computer system, a plurality of resource providers associated with the potential resource providing event;
• analyzing, by the computer system, information about two or more of the plurality of resource providers, wherein analyzing the information about the two or more resource providers includes retrieving real-time location information for the two or more resource providers using global positioning system (GPS) devices associated with the two or more resource providers;
• generating, by the computer system, a feature vector representation of the analyzed information about the two or more of the plurality of resource providers;
• extracting, using the generated feature vector, a resulting confidence score for each of the two or more resource providers;
• setting the confidence score as a closeness index for each of the two or more resource providers, wherein the closeness index indicates a level of closeness between each of the resource providers and a resource recipient;
• grouping, by the computer system, a plurality of people into a group of potential resource collaborators composed of a plurality of group members, wherein the plurality of people is chosen from the plurality of resource providers based upon the information of the plurality of resource providers and the closeness indexes;
• generating, by the computer system, a first potential resource list;
• analyzing, by the computer system, a resource providing ability of each of the group members;
• selecting, by the computer system and based at least in part upon the resource providing ability of each of the group members, a resource provider chosen from the plurality of group members;
• generating, by the computer system, a second potential resource list with detailed information about one or more potential resources on the second potential resource list wherein the one or more potential resources on the second potential resource list are based at least in part on the first potential resource list;
• providing, by the computer system, at least a portion of the second potential resource list to the selected resource giver, wherein the portion of the second potential resource list includes at least one resource provision;
• receiving an indication of a selected resource from the selected resource giver;
• and
• allocating the selected resource to the resource recipient associated with the event.
