  • Patent number: 11410223
    Abstract: A method for facilitating e-commerce transactions includes monitoring a purchase pattern of a user on various e-commerce interfaces for a first time-interval by a bot. The purchase pattern indicates frequency-of-use information of various payment options used by the user to make purchases within the first time-interval. The bot receives a user-profile of the user, when the user makes a first purchase through a first e-commerce interface after the first time-interval. Based on the user-profile and the purchase pattern, the bot retrieves a first set of payment options from the payment options. The bot customizes a payment interface to display the first set of payment options from an available set of payment options on the payment interface. The user selects one of the first set of payment options to perform an e-commerce transaction for the first purchase.

    Abstract: An artificial intelligence (AI)-based content communications system leverages microtrends identified from conversations in real-time to support targeted content mapped to the identified microtrends. The communications system receives conversation information of participants, including text of conversation, timestamp, and, optionally, geographical information, from a listening service authorized to capture the conversation information; determines one or more topic microtrends having above-threshold activity; retrieves content with tags having generated keywords associated with a corresponding topic microtrend; and generates a message comprising the content and, optionally, a topic microtrend dashboard to provide to an identified contact associated with the topic microtrend. In some cases, the content is directly pushed to a social media handle associated with the content.
