Collaborative communication system with real-time anticipatory computing

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing executable computer program instructions for displaying contextual content on a client device of a first conversation participant, the instructions performing steps comprising:

• receiving, at a first client device interface, communication information associated with a conversation between the first conversation participant and one or more other conversation participants;
• retrieving context information from the communication information, the context information comprising information associated with the conversation;
• identifying one or more concepts associated with the conversation based on the context information;
• selecting public content for presenting on the client device from a plurality of public sources based on the identified one or more concepts, the public content presented to all of the conversation participants;
• selecting private content for presenting on the client device from a plurality of private sources accessible only to the first conversation participant based on the identified one or more concepts, the private content presented only to the first conversation participant;
• and
• simultaneously presenting the selected public content in a first portion of a second client device interface dedicated to displaying only public content and presenting the selected private content in a second portion of the second client device interface dedicated to displaying only private content.
