Abstract: A network-accessible, on-line platform for innovation management, which provides organizations with the technological ability to simplify complex innovation by establishing connections among individual nodes in an innovation network and automate workflows among those nodes using artificial intelligence and/or machine learning. The platform learns from human-designed innovation networks and contextual information to develop AI models of successful innovation strategies and designs new workflows and optimizes existing workflows for rapid innovation.

Abstract: In one embodiment, objects captured over a network can be queried using a graphical user interface. In one embodiment, the graphical user interface (GUI) includes a search editor to enable a user to author and edit a search that mines objects captured by a capture system. In one embodiment, the graphical user also includes a capture rule editor a to enable a user to author and edit a capture rule used by the capture system to intercept objects transmitted over a network.
