Systems and methods for constructing textual output options

A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions that when executed by one or more processing devices cause the one or more processing devices to perform a method for assisting a user with a writing task, the method including:

• receiving a request from the user to initiate a writing assistant application, the writing assistant application being associated with at least one graphical user interface element shown on a display;
• in response to the request, causing a writing assistant workspace to be shown on the display;
• receiving user input, facilitated by the writing assistant workspace, wherein the user input includes at least one word that conveys at least one idea;
• automatically constructing, using one or more trained models providing a natural language generation function, at least one complete sentence textual output option that expresses the at least one idea;
• causing the at least one complete sentence textual output option to be shown to the user via the writing assistant workspace on the display;
• receiving additional user input, facilitated by the writing assistant workspace, wherein the additional user input includes one or more additional words;
• and
• updating, using the one or more trained models, the at least one complete sentence textual output option based on the received additional user input.
