Abstract: The present disclosure involves systems, software, and computer implemented methods for personalizing interactions within a conversational interface based on an input context. One example system performs operations including receiving a conversational input received via a conversational interface. The conversational input is analyzed to determine an intent and lexical personality score based on the input's characteristics. A set of responsive content is determined and includes a set of initial tokens representing an initial response. A set of synonym tokens associated with at least some of the initial tokens are identified, and at least one synonym token associated with a similar lexical personality score to the input is determined. At least one of the initial tokens are replaced with the determined synonym token to generate a modified version of the set of response content. The modified version of the response is then transmitted to a device in response to the input.

Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, apparatuses, and processes that, among other things, dynamically authorize pre-stages data exchanges based on contextual data. For example, an apparatus may receive first data characterizing an initiation of a first exchange of data between a client device and a terminal device. Based on the first data, the apparatus may obtain second data that characterizes an expected initiation of a second exchange of data during a corresponding temporal interval, which may be specified relative to an initiation time of the first data exchange. The apparatus may generate and transmit, to a computing system, pre-authorization data that requests a pre-authorization of the second data exchange to a computing system. The pre-authorization data may include a portion of the second data and may instruct the computing system to pre-authorize the second data exchange in accordance with the second data.
