  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20230052638
    Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating proposals in a task determination system are provided. The task determination system can generate in real-time a set of proposals corresponding to a task. The set of proposals are generated based on a task type and a member profile associated with a member for whom the task is being performed. The task determination system generates a ranking of the set of proposals based on suitability metrics between the task and the set of proposals. Based on the ranking and these suitability metrics, one or more proposals are selected for presentation to the member. The member profile associated with the member can be updated in real-time as the member interacts with the one or more proposals.

  • Publication number: 20230037392
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predicting the likelihood that a member of a task facilitation service will delegate a given task for completion by the task facilitation service include providing data to a delegation likelihood model. The data may include, among other things, data collected about the member and past tasks of the member including whether the member delegated those tasks. The data may further include data for other members and tasks other than those associated with the task being analyzed. The task facilitation service may transmit an indication regarding the likelihood of delegation to an intermediary who may then decide whether to enable a delegation control for the task at a user interface of the member.

  • Publication number: 20230041255
    Abstract: Systems and methods for enabling controls at a user computing device for delegating tasks include providing information to an intermediary regarding the likelihood that a user associated with the user computing device will delegate a particular task. The intermediary may then selectively activate a delegation control at the user computing device that, when activated, results in delegation of the task for completion by a task facilitation service.

  • Publication number: 20220405687
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying and recommending tasks that may be performed in order to achieve member goals are provided. A system processes messages in real-time as these messages are exchanged to identify a goal and a timeframe from achieving the goal. Based on the goal and the corresponding timeframe, the system identifies task groupings corresponding to different methods for achieving the goal. The task groupings are ordered according to the likelihood of the member selecting a task grouping. When a member selects a task grouping, the system can monitor in real-time the performance of tasks of the task grouping to determine whether the goal is being achieved. If any tasks are not being performed successfully, the system can automatically adjust the remaining tasks, select new tasks, and/or adjust the timeframe for achieving the goal in order to provide the member with an opportunity to achieve the goal.

  • Publication number: 20220318698
    Abstract: Disclosed embodiments provide a framework to identify and recommend tasks that can be performed for the benefit of a member. Through this framework, a member is assigned with a representative that, over time, learns about the member's preferences and behavior, which can be used to recommend tasks that can be performed to reduce the member's cognitive load. Further, as the representative develops a relationship with the member over time, the representative can also curate experiences for the member and assist the member in achieving personal goals and ambitions.

  • Publication number: 20220307980
    Abstract: An optical device configured to pass an input light signal through a medium under test, for example, a fluid, and to retrieve an output light signal. A comparison of the output light signal to the input light signal is indicative of the medium and can be used to determine if another unknown medium is the same. Another optical device passes an input signal through a known medium and an unknown medium and corresponding output light signals are received. A comparison of the output light signal corresponding to the unknown medium with the output light signal of the known medium can be used to characterize the unknown medium as against other mediums.
