  • Patent number: 12271436
    Abstract: Forward-looking sales activities are poorly served by existing Customer Relationship Managements systems, as the customer information those systems maintain by definition does not include the speculatively interested “leads” pursued in initial sales contacts. An Enrichment database, asynchronously loaded with corporate and optionally individual contact information in anticipation of use, provides real-time access to information in support of such first customer contacts. The Enrichment information may also be used to expedite creation and revision of CRM records.

  • Patent number: 12273305
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing omnichannel messaging. A set of application programming interfaces are utilized to create a set of channels connected to services of a customer platform. A channel is defined to specify how the channel is to interact with a service of the customer platform. Flows are formatted and defined for sending and receiving messages across the set of channels based upon native messaging experiences provided by the services of the customer platform. Flows are formatted and defined for viewing and interacting with the messages based upon a set of contexts for viewing and interacting with the messages through the services. The flows are executed for processing messages.

  • Patent number: 11449775
    Abstract: A modular machine learning-as-a-service (MLAAS) system uses machine learning to respond to tasks without requiring machine learning modeling or design knowledge by its users. The MLAAS system receives an inference request including a model identifier and a target defining features for use in processing the inference request. The features correspond to a task for evaluation using a machine learning model associated with the model identifier. An inference outcome is generated by processing the inference request using the target as input to the model. Feedback indicating an accuracy of the inference outcome with respect to the task is later received and used to generate a training data set, which the MLAAS can use to further train model used to generate the inference outcome. As a result, the training of a machine learning model by the MLAAS system is limited to using data resulting from an inference performed using that model.
