Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure pertain to management over the type of notification that is generated and presented to a user relative to an occurrence of a message notification. Processing is executed that evaluates a relevance of a content update to content that is already presented to a user through host application/service endpoints. This helps determine how to present a graphical user interface (GUI) notification as well as link that GUI notification to existing communications that are identified as contextually relevant. Trained artificial intelligence modeling is applied that executes relevance analysis to aid generation of a GUI notification. Said relevance analysis correlates a content portion, of a content update, with a content sub-range assigned in a live representation of the distributed collaborative canvas, where a live representation is an editable and synchronized representation of the distributed collaborative canvas that presents the content sub-range inline within a host application/service endpoint.

A system for managing online group chat and methods for making and using same. A server computer can create a topic in a chat group and receive a request from a user device for a member of the chat group to join the topic. The request can be in response to activation of a user interface for the topic on the user device. The member can be permitted in real time to join a topic subgroup associated with the topic upon determination that a membership of the topic subgroup is less than a maximum participant number. The maximum participant number can be at least partially based on a messaging service capacity of the server. A publish-subscribe messaging service can be offered for the topic subgroup. Advantageously, the topic subgroup can be dynamically updated based on operation on the user device to reduce server workload and improve user experience.
