  • Patent number: 12056947
    Abstract: A document management system utilizes document models for querying, validating, and customizing electronic agreement documents. Document models can be a data structure including document attributes that represent an agreement document. Examples of document attributes include customizable data values, conditions related to the operation of the agreement document and satisfiable by certain values of the customized data values, and rendering parameters for the appearance of the electronic agreement document. The document management system enables a user to create custom document models for generating electronic agreement documents that can be queried, validated, and customized through querying, validating, and customizing the corresponding document models.

  • Patent number: 11556704
    Abstract: An entity grammar that specifies a computer conversational agent may be received. User utterances are interpreted based on the entity grammar and prompts for the conversational agent to pose are determined based on the entity grammar. An outcome of the dialog is built by storing words in the user utterances and the prompts that match tokens in the entity grammar. The entity grammar specifies both a dialog flow and data structure of the outcome.

  • Patent number: 11361755
    Abstract: A computer-implemented conversational agent engages in a natural language conversation with a user, interpreting the natural language conversation by parsing and tokenizing utterances in the natural language conversation. Based on interpreting, a set of utterances in the natural language conversation to be recorded as a macro is determined. The macro is stored in a database with an associated macro identifier. Replaying of the macro executes a function specified in the set of utterances.

  • Patent number: 11100295
    Abstract: A computer natural language conversational agent authors an event-processing rule by carrying out a dialog in natural language with a user. A data model that customizes a dialog and building of the event-processing rule is received. A partial tree data structure is constructed based on a rule's grammar, and specialized based on tokens extracted from the data model. An utterance is received from a user and interpreted according to the grammar as specialized to the data model. Based on the interpreting of the utterance, the grammar, the data model, and context of interactions with the user, a natural language prompt is determined for the computer natural language conversational agent to output to the user. The partial tree data structure is filled based on the natural language prompt and the utterance from the user. The event-processing rule is generated based on the partial tree data structure filled during the dialog.
