Abstract: A cloud platform establishes a communication session between an agent and a user. The communication session is over an electrical medium. The cloud platform generates an interface on a client device associated with the agent. A first portion of the interface is configured to exchange messages between the agent and the user for a conversation or otherwise transcribe a conversation between the agent and the user. The cloud platform obtains, at a first time, a set of utterances from a transcript of the conversation. The cloud platform accesses a database including a plurality of articles. The cloud platform generates relevance scores between the conversation and the plurality of articles. The cloud platform then selects a subset of articles having relevance scores above a threshold value or proportion. The identified articles are presented on a second portion of the interface.
