Systems and methods for automated application launching

A method comprising:

• receiving a message from a client device, the message including content indicative of a given event, a time at which the given event is to occur, and a plurality of applications, the plurality including a first application and a second application;
• generating a plurality of text strings based on content of the message, at least one text string being a combination of text from a subject and content of the received message;
• remove duplicate text strings from the plurality of text strings, wherein removing the duplicate text strings comprises:
• identifying that one or more text strings of the plurality of text strings included in the message are duplicates;
• and
• removing, from the plurality of text strings, the duplicate text strings;
• identifying the first application based on a comparison of the plurality of text strings with one or more entries of a database of applications, wherein identifying the first application comprises using one or more fuzzy matching techniques to identify the first application from the plurality of text strings, wherein the plurality of text strings do not include a name of either the first application or the second application, wherein the one or more fuzzy matching techniques fail to identify the second application, and wherein identifying the first application comprises identifying a word processing application;
• identifying, after using the one or more fuzzy matching techniques, the second application, wherein identifying the second application comprises using one or more natural language processing techniques to identify a context corresponding to the plurality of text strings, wherein identifying the second application comprises identifying, based on the context, the second application, and wherein identifying the second application comprises identifying a spreadsheet application;
• and
• in response to the identification of the first application and the second application, receiving at least one command from a cloud computing platform for launching the first application and the second application at the time indicated in the received message, so as to make ready the first application and the second application to accomplish the given event, wherein the command is received in response to event trigger data sent to the cloud computing platform.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by a system comprising at least one processor, a communication interface, and memory, cause the system to:

• receive a message from a client device, the message including content indicative of a given event, a time at which the given event is to occur, and a plurality of applications, the plurality including a first application and a second application;
• generate a plurality of text strings based on content of the message, at least one text string being a combination of text from a subject and content of the received message;
• remove duplicate text strings from the plurality of text strings, wherein removing the duplicate text strings comprises:
• identifying that one or more text strings of the plurality of text strings included in the message are duplicates;
• and
• removing, from the plurality of text strings, the duplicate text strings;
• identify the first application based on a comparison of the plurality of text strings with one or more entries of a database of applications, wherein identifying the first application comprises using one or more fuzzy matching techniques to identify the first application from the plurality of text strings, wherein the plurality of text strings do not include a name of either the first application or the second application, wherein the one or more fuzzy matching techniques fail to identify the second application, and wherein identifying the first application comprises identifying a word processing application;
• identify, after using the one or more fuzzy matching techniques, the second application, wherein identifying the second application comprises using one or more natural language processing techniques to identify a context corresponding to the plurality of text strings, wherein identifying the second application comprises identifying, based on the context, the second application, and wherein identifying the second application comprises identifying a spreadsheet application;
• and
• in response to the identification of the first application and the second application, receive at least one command from a cloud computing platform to launch the first application and the second application at the time indicated in the received message, so as to make ready the first application and the second application to accomplish the given event, wherein the command is received in response to event trigger data sent to the cloud computing platform.
