1. A method comprising:
detecting that a user is initiating a conversation session with a digital assistant;
calculating a predicted length of the conversation session;
in response to determining, based on the predicted length, that the conversation session will coincide with another scheduled event output:
providing, via input/output circuitry, a first audio prompt output indicating a first option to postpone the conversation session; and
providing, via the input/output circuitry, a second audio prompt output indicating a second option to snooze the scheduled event output.
