  • Publication number: 20260135825
    Abstract: The present application at least describes a system and a method for creating an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot. The method may include a step of causing to display, via a user interface of a web-based platform, a prompt to create the AI chatbot. The prompt may include a description of services and functions associated with the AI chatbot. The method may also include a step of receiving, via the user interface from a user of the web-based platform, a selection of any one or more of the description of services or functions associated with the AI chatbot. The method may further include a step of training, based on the received input and data associated with the user available on the web-based platform, a machine learning (ML) model associated with the AI chatbot. The method may even further include a step of configuring the created AI chatbot with the trained ML model.

  • Patent number: 9569202
    Abstract: Tools and techniques are described for transparently and safely augmenting the functionality of objects in an existing collection of objects. One approach automatically creates a dynamic interface for a known object type T, having the same type signature as T. Augmentations which implement the interface are then recognized, and an interpreted or compiled code environment is adjusted to invoke their functionality, which is orthogonal to the indicated functionality of type T. An application program executing in the adjusted environment automatically and transparently generates an instance of each augmentation, and the augmentations are composed to run when the original object of type T is accessed.
