Patent number: 12646098Abstract: A language model is utilized to generate a recommendation for a user of an online system to update a current order. The user is grouped into a cluster of users based on how likely is that the user will not use a credit before expiration. A prompt for input into the language model includes information about the cluster, content of a cart, and information about the credit. Based on the prompt, the language model generates a risk score for the user representing a likelihood of the user not using the credit. The online system identifies, based on the risk score and the content of cart, a quantity of an item for recommendation to the user. A user client device displays a user interface with a suggestion for the user to include the quantity of the item in the cart and use the credit for purchasing the suggested quantity of item.Type: GrantFiled: January 30, 2024Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: Maplebear Inc.Inventors: Domenico Matteo, Joseph Olivier, Mathieu Hartvick, Lukasz Czekaj, Alexander S.

Patent number: 12608668Abstract: An embodiment uses a computer-implemented approach to identify and automate workstreams from common actions in online applications. A browser extension collects and processes user event metadata, which is used to train machine learning models for workflow automation. The extension reads relevant fields from web services and delivers prompts with high-level actions (HLAs) based on user or organizational details. These HLAs are appended to prompts and sent to a large language model (LLM) via an API call. The LLM responds with a solution and a sequence of actions, which the browser extension executes automatically. Users retain control to pause, accelerate, or modify these actions. This method ensures secure, end-to-end workflow automation across various computing devices, enabling efficient and autonomous resolution of tasks while maintaining user oversight. The browser extension processes metadata, not enterprise data, ensuring security and privacy.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2025Date of Patent: April 21, 2026Assignee: 8flow Inc.Inventors: Boaz Hecht, Josh Russ, Yev Goldin
