Publication number: 20250182760Abstract: Techniques for altering default language, in system outputs, with language included in system inputs are described. A system may determine a word(s) in user inputs, associated with a particular user identifier, correspond to but are not identical to a word(s) in system outputs. The system may store an association between the user identifier, the word(s) in the user inputs, and the word(s) in the system outputs. Thereafter, when the system is generates a response to a user input, the system may replace the word(s), traditionally in the system outputs, with the word(s) that was present in previous user inputs. Such processing may further be tailored to a natural language intent.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 11, 2025Publication date: June 5, 2025Inventors: Andrew Starr McCraw, Sheena Yang, Sampat Biswas, Ryan Summers, Michael Sean McPhillips

Publication number: 20240087562Abstract: Techniques for outputting interactive content and processing interactions with respect to the interactive content are described. While outputting requested content, a system may determine that interactive content is to be outputted. The system may determine output data including a first portion indicating that interactive content is going to be output and a second portion representing content corresponding to an item. The system may send the output data to the device. A user may interact with the output data, for example, by requesting performance of an action with respect to the item.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Mark Conrad Kockerbeck, Srikanth Nori, Jilani Zeribi, Ryan Summers, Volkan Aginlar
