  • Patent number: 12641193
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed toward systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating and providing intelligent insights for video calls and other virtual meetings. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze stored meeting data from past video calls and other virtual meetings to generate intelligent insights for an upcoming video call. The disclosed systems also generate and provide intelligent insights or coaching tools for ongoing video calls. As part of the intelligent coaching tools for ongoing video calls, the disclosed systems can generate predictions for accomplishing target goals for the video calls. Further, the disclosed systems can generate intelligent insights or coaching tools after video calls take place.

  • Publication number: 20250342445
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for utilizing a large language model to generate computer code executable to generate a series of calendar events for completing a target objective. Furthermore, the disclosed systems provide a catalyst calendar interface which includes a chat window and an integrated calendar window to interface to display the series of calendar events. For instance, the disclosed systems utilize the large language model to generate a task curriculum which includes a set of executable tasks whose completion accomplishes the target objective. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can generate computer code executable by a calendar application to generate the series of calendar events corresponding to the set of executable tasks.

  • Publication number: 20250265115
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for collecting, organizing, and managing third-party content from multiple sources associated with a user account to present as synthesized tasks in a consolidated graphical user interface and minimize the distraction provided by multiple interfaces. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems analyze content from various web-based data sources, collect relevant content, create synthesized tasks associated with the relevant content, and present the relevant content to the user grouped into synthesized tasks in a single graphical user interface. Additionally, the disclosed systems can prioritize the generated synthesized tasks within the graphical user interface and provide productivity metrics based on the degree to which an associated user interacts with the synthesized tasks.
