  • Patent number: 11989218
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses for automated population of responses into query fields of a form are discussed. The responses are based on data in a networked user data repository maintained by a first party, and the form is presented by a second party. A login request for access to data in the user data repository may be received from a remote computing device. If access to the data in the user data repository is authorized, descriptors for at least one of the query fields may be received, and based on the descriptors, it may be determined whether any responses to any query fields are contained in the user data repository. Query fields may be populated with responses obtained through the data repository. The user provides the second party with information that is made available to the first party without separately inputting the information into the form of the second party.

  • Patent number: 11989774
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for providing trusted data. A digital trusted data (DTD) computing system of a service provider can accept requests for trusted data from internal computing systems and/or external computing systems of third parties. Based on the data requested, a retrieval protocol is determined, the retrieval protocol identifying trusted data sources and a sequence (order and/or timing) for accessing the data sources. The trusted data sources may, for example, be internal computing systems, external computing systems, and/or documents provided by a client. The requested data may be used for populating a form being completed by the client as part of an application for services from the service provider or from a third party. Data can be retrieved from data sources that are less cumbersome for the client before sources that are more cumbersome are accessed.

  • Patent number: 11989784
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which provide for customized alerts for a user. Alerts may be described by a set of alert parameters. Alert parameters include the type of alerts, the frequency of alerts, and the content of the alerts. While the alert parameters may initially be set based upon the users explicitly entered preferences, the system may monitor one or more indicators to dynamically adjust one or more of the alert parameters. As the indicators allow the automated portfolio management system to respond to the needs of a user, these alerts may increase the personalization of automated portfolio management systems.

  • Publication number: 20240161750
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices provide a user experience capable of integrating robo-advising with human advising based on various inputs that are actively detected. Inputs from a conversation, or multiple conversations separated in time, may be analyzed to determine, based on voice inputs, that live communications should be initiated. Based on triggers identified, a robo-advising session may additionally or alternatively be initiated. Transitions between advising sessions may be facilitated to allow users to more efficiently employ robo-advising until human advising is triggered.

  • Publication number: 20240163233
    Abstract: Disclosed are example machine-learning approaches for determining maturity metrics of chatbot users. One or more datasets with words used during past conversations between a chatbot and a set of users with known maturity metrics are generated. A machine learning model is trained by applying machine learning to the one or more datasets such that the machine learning model is trained to output maturity metrics based on words received as inputs. A set of words or phrases spoken or written by the user during a conversation is fed to the machine learning model to determine a maturity metric of the user. A response is identified based on the determined maturity metric, and the response is presented during the conversation with the user. Words and phrases of a user conversing with a chatbot are used to determine the user's age or another maturity metric to generate responses that enhance the user experience.
