Microsoft patents LLMs that suggest extra content in apps
Microsoft describes a system where productivity apps send specific text and its context to a large language model. The model analyzes the information and suggests additional, relevant content to display in the app's interface.
In the filing’s own words
Technology is disclosed herein for the integration of large language model (LLM) services for content analysis in productivity applications. In an implementation, an application identifies content associated with the application executing on the computing apparatus. The application identifies a context relating to the content, wherein the context comprises contextual information by which to evaluate the content. The application generates a prompt for an LLM service which includes the content and the context. The prompt requests an evaluation of the content to recommend supplemental content and submits the prompt to the LLM service. The application receives a response to the prompt from the LLM service which includes a suggestion for supplemental content based on the evaluation and displays, in a user interface of the application, a recommendation based on the suggestion from the LLM service.
