  • Publication number: 20240046374
    Abstract: Systems, media, and methods for automated response to social queries comprising: monitoring queries from users, each query submitted to a vendor via an interactive chat feature of an external electronic communication platform, monitoring human responses to the queries, monitoring subsequent communications conducted via the electronic communication platform until each query is resolved; applying a first machine learning algorithm to the monitored communications to identify a query susceptible to response automation; applying a second machine learning algorithm to the query susceptible to response automation to identify one or more responses likely to resolve the query; and either i) notifying a human to respond to the query susceptible to response automation with the one or more responses likely to resolve the query, or ii) instantiating an autonomous software agent configured to respond to the query susceptible to response automation with the one or more responses likely to resolve the query.
