  • Publication number: 20240086467
    Abstract: A reference to a digital item is stored as a digital card. The digital card can also be contained in, and/or refer to, other digital cards. The digital card can also include properties or attributes that may be added from the digital item that is being referred to. The digital card can be tagged with a tag that may also be applied to other digital cards. The digital card can be stored in a data pod within a de-centralized data storage system architecture so the tag is surfaced along with the digital card in different contexts.

  • Patent number: 11556548
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that automatically process a message input, construct an intelligent query based on the processing of the message input, and provide at least one attachable entity according to the processing results and the intelligent query. In some example aspects, a message is received. A natural language processor to determine if the message is requesting content may then process the message. If the message is determined to be requesting content, then candidate sub-queries may be generated to serve as a training set for a query that will be sent to an external search engine to retrieve the attachable entity. The sub-queries may be ranked in order of relevance and performance score. The highest ranked sub-queries may then be used in the actual query that is fired against the external search engine. The external search engine may search local and remote repositories for the top K most relevant attachable entities and present them to a user for attachment in a reply message.
