Patent number: 11677691Abstract: In various embodiments, a mentor application automatically obtains assistance with software applications. The mentor application generates a computer-generated help request associated with a first user of a software application. Based on the computer-generated help request and a set of user contexts associated with a set of users, the mentor application computes match scores. Each match score predicts how suitable a particular user is for servicing the computer-generated help request. Based on the match scores, the mentor application transmits at least one help request notification to at least one user included in the set of users to determine a second user to service the computer-generated help request. The mentor application then establishes a computer connection between the first user and the second user through which an interactive help session between the first user and the second user is held.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: AUTODESK, INC.Inventors: Fraser Anderson, George Fitzmaurice, Tovi Grossman, Nikhita Joshi, Justin Frank Matejka
