  • Publication number: 20260147983
    Abstract: Computer-implemented methods and systems interface with a language model (e.g., a Large Language Model (LLM)) to assist in document revision. The methods and systems allow text to be selected within a document and an action definition to be selected from an action definition library. The text and/or the action definition may be selected using a graphical user interface (GUI). An action defined by the selected action definition is applied to the selected text to generate text. For example, the selected action definition may include a prompt, and the prompt may be combined with the selected text to generate a combined prompt. The combined prompt may be provided as an input to the LLM, which may generate the generated text. The generated text may be integrated into the document.

  • Publication number: 20260147991
    Abstract: A system and method for transforming text within documents using, such as by using large language models (LLMs). Users can select source text from a source document, in response to which a painting configuration is identified or generated based on the source text, such as by providing the source text and a source prompt to a large language model to produce source output, and selecting or generating the painting configuration based on the source output. The user can select destination text, in response to which the painting configuration is applied to the destination text, such as by selecting or generating a destination action definition based on the painting configuration and the destination text, and providing the destination action definition to a large language model to produce destination output. The destination text may be replaced with the destination output, or output derived therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20260099552
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method and system for recursive generative content generation processes merge templates containing multiple elements within document creation workflows. The method includes receiving a merge template comprising a plurality of elements, and for each element determining whether it is an action definition. If so, the method applies the action definition to generate output by providing a prompt to a language model, and inserts the generated output into a merged document. If not an action definition, the method determines whether the element is a merge field, obtains its value and inserts it into the merged document. Otherwise, the method copies the element into the merged document. The system enables sophisticated document personalization by combining traditional mail merge functionality with AI-driven content generation capabilities.

  • Publication number: 20260099666
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system and method transform text within documents using a generative process that enables automated application of action definitions across multiple document elements while maintaining user control. For each element in a document, the system identifies an action definition and applies it to generate output by providing prompts to a large language model. The system manifests generated outputs to users for review and, upon approval, revises corresponding elements based on approved outputs. This enables efficient processing of multiple document elements while preserving precise user control over content updates. The system supports various levels of user involvement, from fully automated processing to interactive refinement, allowing users to review outputs before document updates while maintaining coherence and quality.

  • Publication number: 20240348572
    Abstract: A computer system includes a calendar containing appointments. The system also includes one or more logic modules. Each logic module specifies a condition and a corresponding action. The profile may be applied to context data, such as data representing the current time, to perform the actions specified by the logic modules in response to detecting that the context data satisfies the conditions specified by the logic modules. In particular, the actions specified by the logic modules may be performed in response to detecting that the current time falls within the time period of an appointment on the calendar.
