Abstract: System that automatically embeds interactive document snippets inside chat conversation stream. Specifically, described are techniques to automatically crop meaningful areas on document pages based on users' actions and underlying content to embed them inside chat window. Embedded snippets are easy to view because smart cropping provides viewers enough context. Snippets are playable inside the chat window so users can view the snippet without having to open the corresponding document. Importantly, viewers can reply inline to a document snippet, also without having to open the original document page. Like traditional text messages, snippets are appended to the conversation chat window, allowing co-workers to see what was added. When users choose to focus on document itself (as opposed to working inside the chat window only), the system automatically shows all relevant document snippets as well as chat messages, helping the person quickly see what conversations happened around this part of the document.
