  • Publication number: 20240070616
    Abstract: A method for integrated professional network expansion during employee onboarding is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a first remote computing system operated by an employer associated with an enterprise, as well as causing surfacing of a professional networking UI on a display of the first remote computing system during the execution of the enterprise application. The method also includes receiving, via the professional networking UI surfaced on the display of the first remote computing system, user input including a specification of onboarding parameters for an employee of the enterprise, where the onboarding parameters correspond to one or more professional networking intentions for the employee. The method further includes causing the enterprise application to be executed on a second remote computing system operated by the employee in accordance with the specified onboarding parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240070172
    Abstract: A method for friction reduction during professional network expansion is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a remote computing system operated by a user associated with an enterprise and surfacing a professional networking UI on a display of the remote computing system during execution of the enterprise application. The method includes generating parameters that are representative of a connection between the user and each suggested professional contact based on enterprise-level data corresponding to the user and each suggested professional contact and generating friction-reducing UI elements for each suggested professional contact based on the generated parameters.

  • Publication number: 20240070790
    Abstract: A method for data-driven professional network expansion techniques is implemented via a computing system including a processor. The method includes executing, via a network, an enterprise application on a remote computing system operated by a user associated with an enterprise and surfacing a professional networking UI on a display of the remote computing system during execution of the enterprise application. The method includes accessing enterprise-level data corresponding to the user and the enterprise, extracting parameters associated with the user and the enterprise from the enterprise-level data, and automatically generating, based on the extracted parameters, the user's professional network and a list of suggested professional contacts.

  • Patent number: 11908181
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a user query inputted on a head-mounted device from the head-mounted device, wherein the user query corresponds to multiple dialog-intents, executing multiple tasks corresponding to the multiple dialog-intents, generating a multi-perspective response by a stitching model based on two or more of execution results of the multiple tasks, wherein the stitching model combines the two or more of the execution results based on natural language processing, and wherein the multi-perspective response comprises a natural-language response combining the two or more execution results, and sending instructions to the head-mounted device for presenting the multi-perspective response on the head-mounted device.
