Exploration of User Memories in Multi-turn Dialogs for Assistant Systems

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

• receive, from a client system associated with a user, a first user input from the user;
• access a memory-data store comprising a plurality of digital memories, wherein each digital memory comprises one or more media content items, temporal information associated with the one or more media content items, and relational information pointing to one or more second digital memories;
• select one or more priming digital memories from the plurality of digital memories based on the first user input;
• proactively select one or more related digital memories based on the relational information associated with the priming digital memories;
• generate a priming response based on the priming digital memories and a proactive suggestion based on the related digital memories;
• and
• send, to the client system responsive the first user input, instructions for presenting the priming response and the proactive suggestion.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and a non-transitory memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors operable when executing the instructions to:
• receive, from a client system associated with a user, a first user input from the user;
• access a memory-data store comprising a plurality of digital memories, wherein each digital memory comprises one or more media content items, temporal information associated with the one or more media content items, and relational information pointing to one or more second digital memories;
• select one or more priming digital memories from the plurality of digital memories based on the first user input;
• proactively select one or more related digital memories based on the relational information associated with the priming digital memories;
• generate a priming response based on the priming digital memories and a proactive suggestion based on the related digital memories;
• and
• send, to the client system responsive the first user input, instructions for presenting the priming response and the proactive suggestion.
