  • Publication number: 20260093706
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and searching a hybrid search index. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems generate a hybrid search index that comprises one or more content items stored at a content management system or at external network locations linked to the content management system via software connectors along with world state data associated with the one or more content items. The disclosed systems can generate a search result from the hybrid search index in response to receiving a search query of the hybrid search index. In some cases, the disclosed systems can rank one or more content items included in the search result based on observation layer data of the one or more content items.

  • Publication number: 20260050627
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that dynamically capture, organize, and utilize digital media clips. For example, in one or more implementations, the disclosed systems can capture and generate digital media clips of content items that include both content metadata of the content items as well as contextual metadata of contextual signals surrounding the content item. Additionally, in some implementations, the disclosed systems analyze contextual metadata to search, retrieve, discover, and organize new and existing digital media clips. Further, in various implementations, the disclosed systems facilitate generating digital media clip libraries as well as the creation of digital media collections, where different types of digital media clips can be combined in a cohesive interactive graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20260012515
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems that aggregate activity data items for one or more data sources for a user account. The disclosed systems can utilize a large language model to transform the activity data items to synthesized activity items. For example, the disclosed systems can utilize the large language model to transform the activity data items to the synthesized activity items by extracting the contextual content from the activity data items. The disclosed systems can utilize the large language model to process the synthesized activity items to generate an activity meta summary for a specified timeframe. Based on the activity meta summary, the disclosed systems can further identify a subset of synthesized activity items for the specified timeframe. Thereafter, the disclosed systems can provide the subset of synthesized activity items for the specified timeframe for display on a client device associated with the user account.

  • Publication number: 20250258593
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating, arranging, and providing subgroupings of content items according to content attributes and dynamic facets. For example, the disclosed systems generate dynamic facets reflecting content attributes, where the dynamic facets are selectable interface elements for arranging content items into subgroups. In certain cases, as part of generating a subgrouping of content items, the disclosed systems can identify portions of content items (e.g., segments of a digital video or sections of a digital document) that correspond to a dynamic facet. The disclosed systems can also provide filtering options for creating or refining subgroupings from a content collection by, for example, filtering according to recency criteria such as file type, recency of interaction, collaborative user accounts, or others.

  • Publication number: 20250251985
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for utilizing a catalyst application to analyze digital content of another computer application to generate or extract tasks. The catalyst application can accompany and operate in conjunction with another computer application to extract data from the application and generate tasks. For example, the disclosed systems can scan displayed (or otherwise presented) digital content in an application and can generate a prompt for causing a large language model to identify or extract tasks from the digital content. Through the catalyst application, the disclosed systems can thus implement a large language model to generate a task list from the digital content of another computer application. The disclosed systems can further utilize the catalyst application to automatically execute or perform extracted tasks.
