  • Publication number: 20260082104
    Abstract: A computer system engages in a dynamic conversation with a viewer of a video while the video is being played. The system generates prompts to the viewer based on one or more of the following: previous inputs received from the viewer, content of the video, information extracted from the video (such as objects, characters, and scenes in the video), and external information (such as information about the series that contains the video). The system may use a trained model, such as a large language model (LLM), to generate the prompts. The conversation may be initiated by the system or by the viewer. The system may generate and adapt additional prompts based on the responses that the viewer provides to previous prompts in the conversation.
