  • Publication number: 20240193517
    Abstract: A system implements a method that comprises receiving end user information of end users to produce synthesized user research data, storing the synthesized user research data in a knowledge corpus, and segmenting the end users into one or more end user segments based on end user roles or end user categories. For each end user segment, a persona is generated, each representing a composite of end users in a respective end user segment. The method further comprises training each persona with training data from the synthesized user research data of the end users in the respective end user segment, and generating a dialog engine for each persona based on the training. An avatar is connected to each persona, and each avatar is made accessible for dialog with metaverse users in the Metaverse, which is a 3D virtual reality environment.

  • Publication number: 20230351283
    Abstract: In an approach for optimizing project and team success, prior to a user initiating a project, a processor creates a digital profile. A processor sets up the digital profile with a set of data gathered from one or more project related documents for a set of previous projects of the user. Responsive to the user initiating the project, a processor identifies one or more documents related to the project. A processor analyzes the one or more documents related to the project. A processor predicts an outcome of the project using machine learning, wherein the outcome of the project is a set of measures indicating a success factor, a quality factor, and a risk factor of the project. A processor generates an optimization suggestion, wherein the optimization suggestion is a suggestion to adjust one or more parameters of the project. A processor outputs the optimization suggestion to the user.
