  • Patent number: 12002012
    Abstract: A computing system for identifying tasks at risk in a collaborative project includes one or more processors configured to execute, during an inference-time phase, a collaborative project management program and a machine learning model. The collaborative project management program is configured to receive telemetry data associated with a task, process the telemetry data based at least in part on one or more task attributes, and output at least one feature associated with the task. The machine learning model is configured to receive, as inference-time input, the at least one feature associated with the task, and, responsive to receiving the at least one feature, output a risk prediction for the task. The system is configured to output an alert when the task is predicted to be at risk of not being completed by a predetermined due date.

  • Publication number: 20240020467
    Abstract: Systems, storage media and methods for providing information for user prioritization of tasks associated with collaboratively developed content are described. Some examples may include: receiving a conversation thread associated with collaboratively developed content, the conversation thread including a plurality of comments authored by multiple different authors, generating a predicted measure of completion for the received conversation thread, the predicted measure of completion being at least one of a predicted number of remaining actions until the received conversation thread is resolved or a predicted number of total actions for the conversation thread to be resolved and providing, for display at a user interface, the predicted measure of completion for the received conversation thread, the predicted measure of completion being associated with the conversation thread at the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11803703
    Abstract: Systems, storage media and methods for providing information for user prioritization of tasks associated with collaboratively developed content are described. Some examples may include: receiving a conversation thread associated with collaboratively developed content, the conversation thread including a plurality of comments authored by multiple different authors, generating a predicted measure of completion for the received conversation thread, the predicted measure of completion being at least one of a predicted number of remaining actions until the received conversation thread is resolved or a predicted number of total actions for the conversation thread to be resolved and providing, for display at a user interface, the predicted measure of completion for the received conversation thread, the predicted measure of completion being associated with the conversation thread at the user interface.

  • Patent number: 11468228
    Abstract: Content frames can be provided for productivity applications through a content frame platform. The platform can detect a sequence of similar documents (“a document run”) and provide functionality to easily create the next document in the sequence through a content frame. The platform can receive a trigger for a content frame for a new document; and, in response, determine whether the new document belongs to a document run. In response to determining the new document belongs to a document run, the platform can determine at least two documents in the document run to be used to create the content frame and identify common content between the at least two documents in the document run. The content frame, which can include at least an outline for the new document and sections of updatable content for the new document, can be generated using the common content and provided for display and/or editing.

  • Patent number: 11126446
    Abstract: In non-limiting examples of the present disclosure, systems, methods and devices for exposing computing service skills are presented. A task intent associated with a natural language input may be identified. A plurality of add-in matching language models may be applied to the natural language input, wherein each add-in matching language model corresponds to a computing service skill. A score for each of the computing service skills may be generated. Each of the computing service skills may be ranked. A selectable option to execute an add-in associated with a top ranked computing service skill may be caused to be displayed. An indication that a selection of the option has been made may be received. The add-in associated with the top ranked computing service skill may be executed.

  • Patent number: 10818287
    Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein provide an efficient user interface that enables users to respond to tasks quickly by providing automated quick task notifications via an audio channel. An audio channel quick task system includes components for recognizing and extracting quick tasks from content (e.g., interpersonal communications, composed content, line of business (LOB) application documents), and for prioritizing and routing the quick tasks to the user via an audio channel at an appropriate and relevant time. The system is enabled to process a user response, determine an action for handling the quick task, and execute the action on behalf of the user (e.g., pass a reply to a requestor, pass an instruction to an application or service, queue the quick task notification, delegate the quick task to another user or bot, forward the quick task to a companion device, or launch an application on a companion device).
