A method for predicting one or more collaborators provided by a cloud-based content management platform includes identifying, for a user of a cloud-based content management platform, a plurality of other users of the cloud-based content management platform that have a relationship with the user and are associated with a plurality of documents hosted by the cloud-based content management platform, predicting one or more collaborators for the user based on collaboration attributes of the plurality of other users, and providing for presentation to the user, information identifying the one or more collaborators to direct the user to a subset of documents from the plurality of documents hosted by the cloud-based content management platform, the subset of documents each being associated with one of the predicted one or more collaborators.

Intelligent people-centric predictions in a collaborative environment

Systems and methods include pre-processing documents in cloud storage using query embeddings, providing personalized prompts to users based on documents in cloud storage, real-time anticipation of user interest in information contained in documents in cloud storage, and providing generative answers including citation to source documents in cloud storage. The system and methods generate generative machine learning model (MLM) prompts based on document portions of documents in a cloud-based content management platform. The systems and methods use the generative MLM to generate responses to prompts, and the responses include citations to the document portions used to generate the responses in order for users to verify the responses.

Providing generative answers including citations to source documents

A method of providing a workspace graphical user interface (GUI) for a user of a cloud-based content management platform includes providing the workspace GUI for the user via the cloud-based content management platform. The workspace GUI presents visual representations of documents stored on the user's cloud storage of the cloud-based content management platform and visual representations of workspaces created by the user. Each workspace includes a set of documents previously added to a respective workspace by the user and stored on the user's cloud storage. The method further includes receiving, via the workspace GUI, a user input with respect to a corresponding document stored on the user's cloud storage. The user input indicates a request to add the corresponding document to a particular workspace. The method further includes modifying a visual representation of the particular workspace to add the corresponding document to the particular workspace, and allowing the user to perform an action pertaining to content of the corresponding document in the workspace GUI without opening a document editing application associated with the corresponding document.

Intelligent home screen of cloud-based content management platform

A method of notifying a user of a cloud-based content management platform of a comment made in a file associated with a user account of the user includes identifying a subset of files with comments to be of interest to a user of cloud-based content management platform, and providing a graphical user interface (GUI) of the cloud-based content management platform for presentation to the user, the GUI identifying the subset of files and, for each identified file, a respective selected comment included in the identified file, and a GUI element allowing the user to request that the identified file be opened for editing.

Intelligent document notifications based on user comments

A method of notifying a user of a cloud-based content management platform of a comment made in a document associated with the user includes determining a set of comments associated with documents to which the user has access via the cloud-based content management platform, the set of comments including one or more comments added by other users to each document within a last predetermined time period, selecting one or more comments from the set of comments for notification to the user, the selecting being based at least on interactions of the user with a comment thread associated with each comment from the set of comments and characteristics of the comment thread, wherein a comment thread is a group of a plurality of comments comprising a first comment and a second comment added in reply to the first comment, determining one or more documents associated with the one or more selected comments, and providing a graphical user interface (GUI) of a cloud storage of the user hosted by the cloud-based content management platform for presentation to the user, the GUI identifying the one or more documents and, for each identified document, a respective selected comment associated with the identified document.

A method of providing a home screen graphical user interface (GUI) for a user of a cloud-based content management platform includes providing the home screen GUI for the user via the cloud-based content management platform. The home screen GUI includes a first area providing visual representations of documents stored on the users cloud storage of the cloud-based content management platform and a second area providing visual representations of workspaces created by the user. Each workspace includes a set of documents previously added to a respective workspace by the user and stored on the users cloud storage. The method further includes receiving, via the first area of the home screen GUI, a user input with respect to a visual representation of a document stored on the users cloud storage. The user input indicates a request to add the document to a particular workspace. The method further includes modifying a visual representation of the particular workspace in the second area to add the document to the particular workspace.
