  • Patent number: 11790376
    Abstract: The third-party company may provide a user interface to a customer to submit a customer support request regarding a first company. The third-party company may receive a customer identifier from the first device and may request prediction data from the first company using the customer identifier. The third-party company may process the prediction data to predict a customer support request of the customer and generate user interface data corresponding to the predicted customer support request. The user interface data may be transmitted to the user interface before a customer support request from the customer is received.

  • Publication number: 20230214847
    Abstract: A third-party service may be used to assist entities in responding to requests of users by determining a suggested response to a received communication. The third party service may receive a request from a first entity, such as via an application programming interface request, that includes a message in a conversation. A conversation feature vector may be computed by processing the message with a first neural network. A suggested respond to the message may be determined by processing the conversation feature vector with a second neural network. The third-party service may then return the suggested response for use in the conversation. The third-party service may similarly be used to assist other entities in responding to requests of users.

  • Patent number: 11615422
    Abstract: A user may respond to a request of another user by entering text, such as a customer service representative responding to a customer. As the user enters text, a suggested completion of the text may be suggested to the user so that the user may select the suggested completion instead of continuing to enter text. Previous messages between the two users and other information may be used to determine an appropriate suggested completion to the entered text. A neural network language model and a search graph may be used to select a suggested completion from a search graph of possible suggested completions.

  • Patent number: 10733614
    Abstract: A third-party service may be used to assist entities in responding to requests of users. A third-party service may receive, directly or indirectly, a request of a first user for assistance from a first entity. The third-party service may request information about the first user by sending a request to a computer of the first entity. The third-party service may use the request of the first user and the information about the first user to automatically generate a response to the request of the first user. The third-party service may then transmit, directly or indirectly, the response to the first user.

  • Publication number: 20200118143
    Abstract: A third-party company may assist other companies in providing customer support to their customers. The third-party company may provide software to a computer of a customer service representative to present a user interface to assist the customer service representative in responding to customer requests. Third-party company may also send update data to the computer of the customer service representative to cause a portion of the user interface to be updated, where the update data is determined using an intent of a message received from a customer. A message received from the customer may be processed to determine the intent of the message, a template may be obtained using the intent, and the update data may be generated by rendering the selected template. The update data may then be transmitted to the computer of the customer service representative to cause a portion of the user interface to be updated.

  • Publication number: 20200043015
    Abstract: An intent classifier may be used to increase the efficiency of a communications system. A company may provide assistance to a first user using automated processing or by a second user manually responding to the first user. To reduce costs, the company may prefer to use automated processing for assistance where it is available. While a second user is assisting a user, a message from the first user may be processed with an intent classifier to determine that automated support is available to assist the first user, and a suggestion may be presented to the second user to transfer the first user to the automated processing, such as by presenting a button to the second user to transfer the first user to the automated processing. The second user may then transfer the first user to the automated processing and assist other users.

  • Patent number: 10453074
    Abstract: A user may respond to a request of another user by entering text, such as a customer service representative responding to a customer. Suggestions of resources may be provided to the responding user to assist the responding user in providing a response. For example, a resource may provide information to the responding user or allow the responding user to perform an action. Previous messages between the two users and other information may be used to select a resource. A conversation feature vector may be determined from previous messages, and feature vectors may be determined from the resources. The conversation feature vector and the feature vectors determined from the resource may be used to select a resource to suggest to the responding user.

  • Publication number: 20190182383
    Abstract: A company may provide customer support to customers using a combination of customer service representatives and automated processing. To reduce costs, the company may prefer to use automated processing for customer support where it is available to assist the customer. While a customer service representative is assisting a customer, a customer communication may be processed to determine that automated support is available to assist the customer, and a suggestion may be presented to the customer support representative to transfer the customer to automated processing, such as by presenting a button to the customer support representative to transfer the customer to automated processing. The customer support representative may then transfer the customer to automated processing and assist other customers.
