Abstract: Systems and processes for detecting an event within natural language are provided. In one example of a process, unstructured natural language information may be received from at least one user. The presence of event information in the unstructured natural language information may be determined. In accordance with a determination that event information is present within the unstructured natural language information, a pseudo-event entry associated with that event information may be generated.

Abstract: Systems and processes for operating a digital assistant are provided. In accordance with one or more examples, a method includes, at a user device with one or more processors and memory, receiving unstructured natural language information from at least one user. The method also includes, in response to receiving the unstructured natural language information, determining whether event information is present in the unstructured natural language information. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that event information is present within the unstructured natural language information, determining whether an agreement on an event is present in the unstructured natural language information. The method further includes, in accordance with a determination that an agreement on an event is present, determining an event type of the event and providing an event description based on the event type.
