Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting a conflict between viewing selections of two users before viewing a media asset. In some aspects, the method comprises receiving an audio input through an audio channel, detecting a first utterance from a first user and a second utterance from a second user in the input of the audio channel, parsing the first utterance and the second utterance, analyzing the first utterance and the second utterance to determine context about the first media asset and the second media asset, and presenting a conflict to the users to display on the media asset.

A method comprising:
- detecting, while a media asset is not being generated for display on user equipment, a conversation between a first user and a second user, wherein the conversation references the media asset;
- identifying, based on the conversation, a plurality of media assets, the plurality of media assets including the media asset and a different media asset;
- extracting, from memory, a first scheduled time of the media asset and a second scheduled time of the different media asset;
- identifying a timing conflict based on the first scheduled time and the second scheduled time;
- and
- generating for presentation, a notification of the timing conflict via the user equipment.
