  • Publication number: 20260045257
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide for presenting the results of talking speed analysis per topic segment in a communication session. The system connects to a communication session with a number of participants; receives a transcript of a conversation between the participants produced during the communication session, the transcript including timestamps for each utterance of a speaking participant; determines, based on analysis of the transcript, a meeting type for the communication session; generates, based on the meeting type, a number of topic segments for the conversation and respective timestamps for the topic segments; for each topic segment, determines a word count per unit of time for each speaking participant associated with a prespecified organization; and presents, to one or more client devices, data on the topic segments, each data including the word count per unit of time for each speaking participant within the topic segment.

  • Publication number: 20250372094
    Abstract: Dynamic conversation alerts are provided within a communication session. In one embodiment, the system presents, to a client device associated with a user of a communication platform, a user interface (“UI”) including a prompt for the user to submit one or more alert phrases, each alert phrase being associated with a category; receives, from the client device, a list of submitted alert phrases; and receives a transcript of a communication session between participants. For each utterance in the transcript, the system determines whether one or more predictions of relatedness are present between the utterance and one or more alert phrases from the list of submitted alert phrases. The system then transmits, to the client device, a list of related categories, each related category including one or more timestamps of utterances for which a prediction of relatedness is present for an alert phrase associated with that category.

  • Publication number: 20250308533
    Abstract: A system may receive, by an artificial intelligence (AI) cluster from a gateway service, a request for at least two AI services and content associated with a communication session, wherein the request comprises a first request for a first AI service and a second request for a second AI service, and wherein an output of the first AI service is an input of the second AI service. The system may generate, using the content, the output of the first AI service. The system may transmit, to the gateway service, the output of the first AI service. The system may generate, using the content and the output of the first AI service, an output of the second AI service. The system may transmit, to the gateway service, the output of the second AI service.

  • Patent number: 12361948
    Abstract: Methods and systems provide an asynchronous pipeline for artificial intelligence service requests. In one embodiment, the system receives, at a gateway service, access to content associated with a communication session; sends, to an artificial intelligence (AI) cluster including a number of AI services, a data payload, the data payload including a location to access the content and a number of requests for AI services to be performed by one or more AI models hosted on the AI cluster using the content as an input; receives one or more AI service results as the AI cluster completes the corresponding requests for the AI services; and stores each received AI service result in one or more databases.
