The present technology is directed to a notification manager which provides a consolidated notification assistant interface for managing notifications received across a plurality of sources, such as applications and channels. The notification manager can group similar notifications in the consolidated notification assistant interface. The notification manager can automatically respond to some notifications, and provide a status regarding whether a responsive notification has been sent, or whether a responsive notification has been prepared that needs review, etc. For example, the notification manager can propose responsive notifications to some notifications, and provide a call to action for the user account to review the proposed responsive notification and to send the proposed responsive notification. The user associated with the user account can interact with the notification manager by giving natural language instructions by interacting with a chatbot to instruct the notification manager to take actions.
