  • Patent number: 12511296
    Abstract: An apparatus includes an interface and a processor. The processor uses the interface to receive a first set of text from a first user and to transmit the first set of text to a second user. The processor determines, based at least in part on the first set of text, that the first user and the second user had an in-person meeting. The processor uses the interface to transmit a request to the first user for a first set of data. The first set of data includes information about the in-person meeting between the first user and the second user. The processor uses the interface to receive the first set of data from the first user. The processor determines, based on the first set of data, a score of the second user. The processor uses the interface to transmit a notification, based on the score, to the second user.
