  • Patent number: 11972476
    Abstract: Provided is a system for dynamically generating a site with custom content using criteria that evolves based on properties of earlier selected content. The system may receive a request for a site, may define first criteria based on user preference and/or content priority specified for the site, and may populate a first customizable element of the site with first content that satisfies the first criteria. The system may determine a first set of properties of the first content that differ from the user preferences and the content priority, may define second criteria by modifying the first criteria with at least one new criterion that is derived from the first set of properties of the first content, and may populate a second customizable element of the site with different second content that satisfies the at least one new criterion from the second criteria.
