  • Patent number: 10742814
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for routing communications to service agents based on a workflow. A computing device identifies a user intent object corresponding to a user interaction with the computing device. The computing device then generates a search criterion based on the identified user intent object and uses the search criterion for identifying the user intent in subsequent user interactions. After identifying the user intent, the computing device can identify a workflow corresponding to the user intent object. Later, the computing device can process one or more tasks associated with the workflow.

  • Patent number: 10484313
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for navigating a workflow using a text messaging interface. A client device executes an application.

  • Patent number: 10469665
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for routing communications to service agents based on a workflow. A computing device identifies a user intent object corresponding to a user interaction with the computing device. The computing device then identifies a workflow corresponding to the user intent object. Later, the computing device identifies a service agent capable of completing the workflow. Then, the computing device routes a user to the service agent.
