Patent number: 12282503Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for automatically determining an intent of a user based on an intent model to attach a file to a document, prompting the user to confirm the intent using a predetermined character in an inline nudge, generating and displaying an inline menu with an interactive list of ranked files as a suggestion for attachment. The disclosed technology uses the intent for specifying a scope of the inline search. The intent model for attaching content maintained by third-party applications uses a combination of an embeddings model and an N-gram model with limited seed queries and determines the intent based on intent scores associated with respective third-party applications. The present disclosure ranks respective candidate content based on a degree of relevance to the intent. The user selects one or more content from the list for attaching to the document.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2022Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Thomas Constantin, Matthew Sledge Epstein, TszYan C Zogg, Lutfi Ilke Kaya, Christopher Andrews Jung, Ragavenderan Venkatesan, Ming Wu, Zhiguo Yu
