People interact with interfaces to accomplish goals, and knowledge about human goals can be useful for building intelligent user interfaces. We suggest that modeling high, human-level goals like "repair my credit score", is especially useful for coordinating workflows between interfaces, automated planning, and building introspective applications. We analyzed data from 43Things.com, a website where users share and discuss goals and plans in natural language, and constructed a goal network that relates what goals people have with how people solve them. We then label goals with specific details, such as where the goal typically is met and how long it takes to achieve, facilitating plan and goal recognition. Lastly, we demonstrate a simple application of goal networks, deploying it in a mobile, location-aware to-do list application, ToDoGo, which uses goal networks to help users plan where and when to accomplish their desired goals.
