  • Publication number: 20260310942
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to an interaction control interface for testing and developing a customized generative response engine (CGRE) that includes a base generative response engine version and system instructions/message that influence outputs generated by the CGRE. The CGRE can be a real-time generative response engine, and the interaction control interface receives prompts via typed inputs or sound inputs. The interaction control interface sends the prompts to the CGRE and receives responses from the CGRE. The interaction control interface can have an automatic turn detection toggle to enable/disable an automatic turn detection functionality and have a generation user interface (UI) element that allows a user to manually stop the response generation by the CGRE.

  • Publication number: 20260310989
    Abstract: The present technology pertains to an interaction control interface for testing and developing a customized generative response engine (CGRE) that includes a base generative response engine version and system instructions/message that influence outputs generated by the CGRE. The interface integrates the functions defining, modifying, and testing the CGRE to enable rapid iterations between testing and modifying the CGRE. The interface receives a configuration (e.g., a system message and a base model) of the CGRE, providing a first version of the CGRE. The interface receives a test prompt and sends the test prompt to the first version of the CGRE. The interface then receives the CGRE's response to the test prompts and presents it in the interface for evaluation by a user. Based in the response, a user can modify the CGRE's configuration to provide a second version of the CGRE, which is then tested in the same manner.

  • Publication number: 20210390613
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a computer-based system for managing just-in-time preparation and delivery of food products. In the system, customers can build, place, and pay for their order. Once the order is placed, the system will track the users location, only starting to prepare their food when the customer is within a specific proximity to the retail location. The proximity will be dynamic and expand and contract with the customer's movements. Finally, the system will coordinate the preparation, assembly and packaging of the order to provide just-in-time delivery of the customer's order, thereby reducing food waste and enhancing the freshness and taste of the product delivered to improve the customer experience.
