11. A system for providing information to a user comprising: communications circuitry; and control circuitry configured to: receive, using the communications circuitry with user equipment associated with a first user, a communication transmitted by a second user; in response to receiving the communication that was transmitted by the second user, process, with the user equipment associated with the first user, text of the communication to identify a symbol of the communication that is subject to a plurality of candidate interpretations, the symbol including one or more words in the processed text of the communication; identify each candidate interpretation of the plurality of candidate interpretations; retrieve a profile of the user; compare an attribute of the profile to each candidate interpretation of the plurality of candidate interpretations; in response determining, based on the comparison, that the first user has accessed a first media asset that is associated with a first of the plurality of candidate interpretations more recently than a second media asset that is associated with a second of the plurality of candidate interpretations, select as a determined meaning of the symbol the first candidate interpretation; and update the profile to include information based on the determined meaning.

The system of claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry is further configured to: determine a location of the first user; identify a vendor within a threshold distance of the first user; determine whether the vendor has inventory related to the media asset; and provide information about the vendor to the first user.
