  • Patent number: 12141303
    Abstract: In association with a communication platform, one or more users can create, share, edit, and/or comment on a document. Some examples of this disclosure are related to providing a list of suggested documents that a user can reference (e.g., add a link to) in a virtual space (e.g., in a message or post to one or more other users). For example, a user can be interacting with a virtual space (e.g., composing a direct message, a channel post, a thread, a workspace, a document, and the like) and invoke a list of suggested documents that can be referenced in the virtual space. In examples of the present disclosure, the list of suggested documents can include documents that are identified (e.g., based on one or more conditions being met) to be relevant to, or otherwise associated with, the virtual space.

  • Patent number: 12019775
    Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for managing permissions for a collaborative document within a group-based communication system. A collaborative document may be created within a group-based communication system. When the collaborative document is created, permissions may be automatically assigned based on the context of collaborative document creation, such as which virtual space the collaborative document creation corresponds to. After creation, the collaborative document may be shared and permissions may be automatically updated based on the sharing context. Users without appropriate permissions will be prevented from accessing the document.

  • Publication number: 20240176960
    Abstract: Techniques for transcribing and/or summarizing multimedia collaboration sessions are discussed herein. For example, users can communicate within a teleconferencing meeting associated with a channel. In some examples, a first machine learning model may be configured to receive audio-visual data and user interaction data (e.g., selected emojis, detected gestures, messages or text input by a user, a thread of messages, etc.) and output a teleconferencing meeting summary. In some examples, the teleconferencing meeting summary can include one or more highlights, action items, and/or artificial intelligence (AI) notes generated using a machine learning model(s).

  • Patent number: 11888631
    Abstract: Techniques for providing a dynamic and modifiable sidebar of a user interface of a communication platform are discussed herein. The sidebar includes affordances of virtual spaces that are associated with a particular user account, such that a virtual space is accessible via a respective affordance. In examples, a section of the sidebar can be modifiable by the user, such as to enable the user to personalize the sidebar. The virtual spaces can include collaborative documents that are created and managed by the communication platform. In examples, the communication platform receives interaction data associated with an interaction of a first user with a collaborative document and identifies a second user associated with the collaborative document. Based in part on the interaction data, the communication platform causes a notification to be presented in a sidebar of user interface associated with the second user, to inform the second user of the update.

  • Patent number: 11763258
    Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for generating a document from a workflow within a group-based communication system. A document may be created from a document template in response to a workflow trigger. The document may have a plurality of structured sections and a plurality of unstructured sections. Unstructured input may be received into an unstructured section and saved into the document. Structured input may be received into a structured section. Based on the structured input, a step of a workflow associated with the document may be performed and a result saved into the document.

  • Publication number: 20230246924
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A group-based communication platform may support creation of a group-based communication channel, for example, by a user. Creating the channel may trigger creation of a corresponding canvas (e.g., a channel about page) associated with the channel. The channel may include a sequential listing of messages and the canvas, where the canvas includes one or more information blocks (e.g., auto-generated with the canvas). The information blocks may be editable by users accessing the channel, and the canvas may be viewed concurrently with the channel contents in a user interface. The information blocks may include at least an information block configured to track activity associated with objects in the channel. If the group-based communication platform detects activity in the channel, the platform may automatically trigger updating the information block configured to track the activity in order to reflect the detected activity.
