  • Patent number: 10963525
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automated conversational querying. The system includes a client device associated with a user, content sources including a website and a platform associated with the website. The platform includes a chat bot comprising a machine learning engine, an intent analysis system and a query system. The chat bot generates an interface window overlaid on the website, when the website is displayed on the client device. The chat bot generates an automated conversational dialog with the user via the interface window, and receives user input from the client device via the interface window, responsive to the automated conversational dialog. The intent system identifies an intent from the user input. The query system automatically queries at least one source among the content sources and obtains query results, based on the identified intent. The chat bot displays the query results on the interface window.
