5. The method of claim 1, wherein the UI element in the UI comprises an indication of a number of user accounts with the first activity added to a respective activity list associated each respective user account among the number of user accounts.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing for display the activity list associated with the first user'"'"'s account in an activity-list UI of the first user, the activity list associated with the first user'"'"'s account comprising a plurality of UI elements, each of the plurality of UI elements corresponding to one of a plurality of activities, the plurality of activities comprising the first activity; and

detecting a fourth interaction with one of the plurality of UI elements that corresponds to the first activity,

wherein providing for display the UI is in response to detecting the fourth interaction.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one activity of the first listing of activities is also suggested for the first user'"'"'s account.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising providing for display a third listing of activities, the third listing of activities comprising a shared history of one or more activities designated as having been completed by both the first user and the second user.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing for display a second UI element in the assistant UI;

detecting a second interaction with the second UI element; and

facilitate sending of a message about an activity to the second user'"'"'s account.

10. The method of claim 1, wherein the information stored in the second user'"'"'s account comprises at least one of a mood parameter, a location parameter, or a time-related parameter.

11. A system comprising:

one or more processors; and

a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising;

providing for display a user interface (UI) associated with a first activity on an activity list associated with a first user'"'"'s account;

detecting a first interaction with a UI element in the UI;

responsive to detecting the first interaction, providing for display one or more selectable elements each corresponding to a respective user account comprising an activity list to which the first activity has been added to a user account activity list associated with the activity;

detecting a second interaction with one of the selectable elements corresponding to a second user'"'"'s account;

responsive to detecting the second interaction, providing for display a profile of the second user in an assistant UI of the first user, the profile comprising an indication of an association between the first user'"'"'s account and the second user'"'"'s account and a first listing of activities suggested for the second user'"'"'s account;

detecting a third interaction with a first UI element in the first user'"'"'s assistant UI; and

responsive to detecting the third interaction, providing for display an ordered-list UI comprising a second listing of activities, now including the first activity, associated with the second user'"'"'s account,

wherein an order of the second listing of activities reflects, at least in part, information stored in the second user'"'"'s account.
