Google patents AI buttons that suggest edits to generated text

This patent describes a system where an AI model generates content and then creates a second set of suggestions for how to change that content. The system pre-saves these modified versions so that when a user clicks a suggestion button, the updated text appears immediately without waiting for a new AI request.

Why it mattersThis could make AI writing tools feel faster and more interactive by letting users preview different versions of a sentence or paragraph with a single click.

In the filing’s own words

Implementations are described herein for leveraging generative models such as LLMs to generate and provide recommended alterations to various types of content. In various implementations, a LLM input prompt may be processed using an LLM to generate a first LLM response, which may be operable to cause first content derived from the first LLM response to be rendered. At least a portion of the first LLM response may be assembled with a request to generate recommended alteration(s) to the portion of the first LLM response and processed using the LLM to generate a second LLM response. The second LLM response may be operable to cause selectable element(s) to be rendered. Each of the selectable element(s) may: identify a respective recommended alteration, and be operable to cause corresponding modified content to be rendered. The modified content may include at least some of the first content modified based on the recommended alteration.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method implemented using one or more processors, comprising: processing a large language model (LLM) prompt using an LLM to generate a first LLM response; providing the first LLM response to a client application, wherein the first LLM response is operable by the client application to cause first content derived from the first LLM response to be rendered at one or more output devices; assembling, as a second LLM prompt, at least a portion of the first LLM response with data indicative of a request to generate one or more recommended alterations to the portion of the first LLM response; processing the second LLM prompt using the LLM to generate a second LLM response; and providing at least a portion of the second LLM response to the client application, wherein the portion of the second LLM response is operable by the client application to: locally cache, prior to receiving a user selection of one or more selectable elements, one or more instances of modified content corresponding to the one or more recommended alterations; and cause one or more selectable elements to be rendered at one or more of the output devices, wherein each of the one or more selectable elements: identifies a respective one of the recommended alterations, and is operable to cause a cached instance of the corresponding modified content to be rendered at one or more of the output devices, wherein the modified content includes at least some of the first content modified based on the respective one of the recommended alterations.
