Intelligent task scheduling and notification-initiated digital assistant conversations

A system comprising:

• one or more processing systems;
• and
• one or more computer readable media storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing systems, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• accessing one or more utterances and context associated with a user session in which the utterances were generated;
• identifying, by one or more machine-learning models, a task to be scheduled for the user based on the one or more utterances and the context;
• generating, based on the task and the context, a task entry, wherein generating the task entry comprises:
• creating a description of the task and criteria for initiating the task,
• generating metadata associated with the task and the context, and
• storing the description, the criteria, and the metadata as the task entry in a table of a database;
• generating a notification configuration entry for the task entry, and associating the notification configuration entry with the task entry in the table of the database, the notification configuration entry including notification instructions for controlling how a notification is to be generated and provided upon satisfaction of the criteria for initiating the task;
• and
• upon detecting satisfaction of the criteria for initiating the task, generating the notification based on the notification instructions, appending the metadata to the notification to generate a notification message, and sending the notification message to a client device based on the notification instructions.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, cause a system to perform operations comprising:

• generating a notification configuration entry for the task entry, and associating the notification configuration entry with the task entry in the table of the database, the notification configuration entry including notification instructions for controlling how a notification is to be generated and provided upon satisfaction of the criteria for initiating the task;
