Providing user workflow assistance

A system, comprising:

• a processor and a memory configured to provide computer program instructions to the processor to execute the function of components;
• a workflow building component including:
• a root activity component for receiving from a user a declaration of a root activity in the web browser as the root of a workflow and a root extraction component for extracting some content from a web page of the root activity;
• a first monitoring component for monitoring a user activity in the web browser session and a new activity component for determining that a new activity in the web browser is activated by a user;
• a correlation component for determining a correlation of the new activity with the root activity including an activity extraction component for extracting some content from the web page of the new activity and a comparing component for comparing it to the content of the root activity;
• and,
• a saving component for, if the correlation is above a threshold, saving the activity in the workflow to build a series of ordered activities.

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

• receive from a user a declaration of a root activity in the web browser as the root of a workflow and extract some content from a web page of the root activity;
• monitor a user activity in the web browser session and determine that a new activity in the web browser is activated by a user;
• determine a correlation of the new activity with the root activity by extracting some content from the web page of the new activity and compare it to the content of the root activity;
• and,
• if the correlation is above a threshold, save the activity in the workflow to build a series of ordered activities.
