  • Patent number: 11962554
    Abstract: Automated message tagging in a chat forward task facilitation communication system is described. One implementation involves receiving a set of messages between a member and a representative as the set of messages are being exchanged, processing the set of messages to identify one or more task flags associated with the set of messages, where the one or more task flags correspond to a set of tasks performable by the representative on behalf of the member, and tracking a chat flow within a chat interface, wherein the set of messages are exchanged within the chat interface. The chat flow is processed using a tagging algorithm to automatically assign at least one of the one or more task flags to messages of the set of messages, and message history is generated including the set of messages and corresponding task flag assignments with associated tasks of the set of tasks.

  • Patent number: 11888801
    Abstract: Message filtering and management systems in a chat forward task facilitation communication system are described. One implementation involves receiving one or more pre-filtering inputs from a member, where the inputs include task associations to identify message types to hide or display from a real-time chat interface based on the task associations. A set of messages are processed in real-time using a filtering algorithm to associate one or more tasks with messages of the set of messages, where the one or more tasks correspond to a set of tasks performable by the representative on behalf of the member. A first message is displayed based on the one or more pre-filtering inputs and a first task association with the first message, and a second message is hidden or not displayed based on the one or more pre-filtering inputs and a second task association with the second message.

  • Publication number: 20230394173
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatic securitization of sensitive information accessible under limited circumstances for the execution of tasks are provided. The systems and methods may receive a request to perform a task that corresponds to operations performable to complete the task. These operations include a sensitive operation that require use of sensitive information associated with a member. A link is generated in real-time as other operations are being performed. Through the link, the member can store their sensitive information in a data privacy vault without exposing the sensitive information to unauthorized entities. The task is transferred to a high-trust representative when the other operations are performed to allow the high-trust representative to access the data privacy vault to obtain the sensitive information. The high-trust representative uses the sensitive information to perform the sensitive operation without exposing the sensitive information to the member or any other unauthorized entity.

  • Publication number: 20230085225
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating and curating projects and tasks based on messages exchanged between members and assigned representatives are provided. A system receives, in real-time, a set of messages between a member and a representative as the set of messages are being exchanged. The system, based on these messages, automatically identifies a task that can be performed for the benefit of the member. The system can further identify additional information required for defining the task based on the member's preferences. The system can dynamically generate prompts for this additional information, which are provided to the member to obtain the additional information. The task is updated based on the additional information and is performed according to the parameters of the task and the additional information.

  • Publication number: 20230070950
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for implementing reinforcement learning in a task-facilitation service. The task-facilitation service may receive a request to delegate an execution of a task. The request can may include a user identifier that corresponds to the task. The task-facilitation service may generate a proposal using a machine-learning process. The proposal may include an implementation of the task and facilitate execution of the task by one or more third-party service providers. The task-facilitation service may facilitate the execution of the task by the one or more third-party service providers according to the proposal. In response to receiving an execution status of the task, the task-facilitation service may train the machine-learning process using the proposal and the execution status to improve subsequent proposals generated by the machine-learning process.

  • Publication number: 20230077262
    Abstract: Task reminder surfacing in a communication system is described. One implementation involves receiving a set of messages associated with a member device and a representative device, processing the set of messages to generate task data including one or more task recommendations associated with the set of messages, wherein the one or more task recommendations correspond to a set of tasks performable on behalf of the member, and tracking a real-time chat flow within a chat interface. The real-time chat flow is processed in real-time as messages of the set of messages are received using a scheduling algorithm to select a position or timing for one or more reminders associated with the one or more task recommendations, the reminders are automatically inserted within the chat flow using the position or timing for the one or more reminders, and the one or more reminders are presented within the chat flow.

  • Publication number: 20230076849
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented herein for implementing dynamic interfaces in task-facilitation services. The task-facilitation service may receive authorization to execute a proposal that corresponds to an implementation of a task. The proposal may include an identification of third-party service providers that are configured to execute a task. The task-facilitation service may identify a first interface configured to translate commands of a task-facilitation service into native commands of the third-party service providers. The task-facilitation service may transmit a first communication including the commands to the third-party service providers. In response, the task-facilitation service may receive a first request for a set of resources. The task-facilitation service may define a resource-allocation mapping configured to identify the set of resources and distribute the set of resources to the third-party service providers. The task-facilitation service may then execute the resource-allocation mapping.

  • Publication number: 20230071115
    Abstract: Systems and methods for delegating tasks for a task facilitation service include receiving a delegation indicator for a task and determining a communication policy for the task in response to receiving the delegation indicator. The communication policy generally inhibits communication between the task facilitation service and a member of the service. Generation of proposals for completing delegated tasks and prediction of missing task data are also facilitated by aspects of the task facilitation service.

  • Publication number: 20230064816
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically throttling active tasks based on the cognitive load of members and assigned representatives are provided. A system receives, in real-time, a set of messages between a member and a representative as the set of messages are being exchanged. The system, based on these messages, automatically detects an indication of a change in the member's cognitive load and identifies the cognitive load based on the tasks being performed for the member, the presentation of these tasks, and the set of messages. If the member's cognitive load exceeds a threshold, the system dynamically selects one or more active tasks for migration to a suspended state. The remaining active tasks are performed for the benefit of the member.
