A system and method for automatically generating help content for a functionality of an application includes examining application data and a user query identifying the functionality and generating a prompt for submission to an artificial intelligence (AI) model based on the application data and the user query. An automatically generated help article on how to perform the functionality is then generated by the AI model. The automatically generated help article is simulated in the application by executing each step of the help article in the application via an executor, determining a current state of the application after each step is executed, determining that a next step of the help article can be executed in the current state of the application, executing the next step of the automatically generated help article via the executor; and continuing with determining the current state of the application after the next step is executed, determining that the next step of the help article can be executed in the current state of the application and executing the next step of the help article until each step of the help article is executed or an error occurs to validate the help article.

A data processing system implements obtaining presentation content for a presentation, the presentation content including a set of slides and a transcript. The system further implements obtaining presentation style information for the presentation from a presentation datastore, generating a prompt for a LLM that includes the transcript and the presentation style information to cause the first LLM to generate an augmented transcript by rewriting the textual cues of the first transcript into a conversational style associated with the presentation style identified in the presentation style information; generating audiovisual content by generating speech for a virtual presenter and generating audiovisual content synchronizing an animation of the virtual presenter with the first audio content, and sending the audiovisual content to the computing devices of users who are in an audience of the presentation.

Artificial intelligence driven presenter

A data processing system obtains source textual content associated with a first writing style and target textual content associated with a second writing style and provides the source textual content as an input to a first machine learning model which analyzes the source content to determine the first writing style of the first textual content. The system provides an indication of the first writing style and the target textual content as an input to a second machine learning model which analyzes the target textual content and rewrites the target textual content according to the first writing style to output updated target textual content rewritten according to the first writing style. Some implementations utilize a single model trained to receive the source textual content, the target textual content, to determine the writing style of the source textual content and rewrite the target textual content according to the first writing style.

Automatic writing style detection and rewriting

A method and system for providing tone detection for a content may include receiving a request to detect a tone for a content, retrieving user data and data about the content, detecting a content environment for the content based on at least one of the user data and the data about the content, detecting the tone for the content based on the content and the content environment, inputting the content and the detected tone into a machine-learning (ML) model for modifying the tone from the detected tone to a modified tone, obtaining at least one rephrased content segment as an output from the ML model, the rephrased content segment modifying the tone of the content from the detected tone to the modified tone, and providing at least one of the detected tone or the at least one rephrased content segment for display.

Automatic tone detection and suggestion

A system and method for converting a document is described. The system accesses a document comprising one or more section breaks. The system detects sections of the text document demarked by the one or more section breaks and generates a section title metadata and a section summary metadata for each section of the plurality of sections. The system inserts the section title metadata and the section summary metadata at the corresponding section breaks in the text document. The system modifies the text document into slides. Each slide being formed for each section based on the corresponding section title metadata and the section summary metadata. The system generates a presentation document based on the slides.

Document conversion engine

A system and method for generating a document control item is described. The system accesses a text document and extracts a portion of the text document. The portion comprises some but not all of the text document. The system sends the portion of the text document to a trained machine learning model and, in response, receives a classification of the portion as demarking a section break. The system modifies the text document by inserting a document control item into the text document at a location of each portion classified as demarking a section break. The system stores the modified document.

Document control item

A system and method and for generating a template based on a page of a document includes receiving a request to create the template for the document, providing a page of the document as an input to a trained machine-learning (ML) model, where the trained machine-learning model is trained to automatically generate target pages for the document based on a received page and the page includes a background image and content, and receiving target pages for the document from the ML model. Each target page has a distinct layout and includes a modified background image and one or more placeholders for content and a template for the document is generated from the one or more target pages and provided for display on a user interface screen associated with the document.

Method and system of generating a document template

A system and method and for monitoring an online meeting includes receiving an indication that the online meeting has been started, retrieving meeting metadata associated with the online meeting, meeting content data from the online meeting, and user data associated with one or more meeting invitees; providing at least one of the meeting metadata, meeting content data and the user data to a machine-learning model for detecting a meeting stage for the online meeting in real-time, determining and based on at least one of the detected meeting stage, meeting content data or the user data that a notification about the online meeting should be provided to one of the meeting invitees, generating data for the notification, and providing the data for the notification for display to the meeting invitee.

Intelligent meeting agent

Technologies are provided for automated generation of revision summaries for an electronic document. In some embodiments, a computing system can determine that a first section of a first version of the electronic document includes changes relative to a second section of a second version of the electronic document. The second section corresponds to the first section. The computing system also can generate respective descriptions of the first section and the second section. The computing system can then generate a summary of the changes by comparing the respective descriptions. The computing system can determine that the summary has a defined placement in a ranking of similarity scores, where a first similarity score in the ranking defines similarity between the respective descriptions. The computing system can add metadata to the first version of the electronic document. The metadata controls presentation of a visual element indicative of the summary within a user interface.
