  • Publication number: 20240111411
    Abstract: Methods for assisting one or more users in organizing content-items, such as location information (e.g., URLs) for online information resources (e.g., webpages) and clips taken from information resources, accessed via content-access software, such as one or more web browsers, using a content item-bundle primitive that allows users to create, build, manipulate, and/or populate their own content-item bundles according to their information investigation and collection desires/needs. In some embodiments, the methods include automatically bundling content items into suggested content-item bundles based on learned relationships among various content items. In some embodiments, the methods can be implemented to provide bundle-based task managers that allow users to not only organize their content items but also define tasks and/or projects rooted in the content-item-bundle primitive. Further embodiments are disclosed, as is software for executing disclosed methods.
