  • Patent number: 12664518
    Abstract: A method of notifying a document to a user of a cloud-based content management platform including identifying a first set of documents, wherein the first set of documents is hosted by the cloud-based content management platform and does not include one or more documents recently opened by the user, identifying one or more target documents from the first set of documents for the user based on an amount of overlap in topicality between a respective document and a users current working set of documents, a number of view events of the respective document, and a number of collaborative events associated with the respective document, wherein the users current working set of documents comprises documents the user has accessed within a last predetermined time period via the cloud-based content management platform, providing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a cloud storage of the user hosted by the cloud-based content management platform for presentation to the user, the GUI identifying the one or more target docum

  • Patent number: 12657165
    Abstract: Implementations are provided for organizing and/or managing files and/or folders within filesystem hierarchies. In various implementations, an input prompt for a generative model may be assembled to include data indicative of: one or more files to be filed within a given filesystem hierarchy, and one or more filesystem hierarchies. The input prompt may be processed using the generative model to generate one or more recommendations of one or more folders within the given filesystem hierarchy for storing one or more of the files. Output may be rendered to convey one or more of the recommendations, which may be accepted to automatically implement the recommendations in some cases.

  • Patent number: 12608562
    Abstract: Systems and methods include pre-processing documents in cloud storage using query embeddings, providing personalized prompts to users based on documents in cloud storage, real-time anticipation of user interest in information contained in documents in cloud storage, and providing generative answers including citation to source documents in cloud storage. The system and methods generate generative machine learning model (MLM) prompts based on document portions of documents in a cloud-based content management platform. The systems and methods use the generative MLM to generate responses to prompts, and the responses include citations to the document portions used to generate the responses in order for users to verify the responses.

  • Publication number: 20260030205
    Abstract: Implementations relate to leveraging a generative model in summarizing a folder having different files and/or sub-folder(s). Various types of information associated with the folder, one or more files within the folder, user metadata associated with a user that requests summarization of the folder, and/or other types of information can be utilized to generate a folder summary request. The folder summary request can be processed using the generative model, to generate a model output reflecting a folder summary. The folder summary request can include one or more instructions that prompt the generative model, so that the folder summary generated for the folder using the generative model can include, for instance, an overview of the folder, key topics of the folder, and/or key files of the folder. The folder summary can also vary in dependence on the user (e.g., a first-time user vs. a frequent user frequently visits the folder, etc.).

  • Publication number: 20250335070
    Abstract: A method includes predicting one or more collaborators for a first user among other users that are associated with electronic documents hosted by the cloud-based content management platform. A pending action corresponding to an electronic document and directed to the first user by a second user of the one or more predicted collaborators is identified. A response of the first user to the pending action is predicted by identifying one or more action attributes of the pending action, and generating, based on the one or more action attributes, information identifying i) a predicted response by the first user to the pending action, and 2) a likelihood the first user will respond to the pending action using the predicted response. Upon generating the information, a user interface (UI) identifying the predicted response to the pending action is provided for presentation at a client device of the first user.

  • Patent number: 11922188
    Abstract: A method of providing a workspace graphical user interface (GUI) for a user of a cloud-based content management platform includes providing the workspace GUI for the user via the cloud-based content management platform. The workspace GUI presents visual representations of documents stored on the user's cloud storage of the cloud-based content management platform and visual representations of workspaces created by the user. Each workspace includes a set of documents previously added to a respective workspace by the user and stored on the user's cloud storage. The method further includes receiving, via the workspace GUI, a user input with respect to a corresponding document stored on the user's cloud storage. The user input indicates a request to add the corresponding document to a particular workspace.
