Application: Method and system for generating insights regarding a party in response to a call (Patent ID: US20240095748A1)

Salesforce Inc. has filed a patent for methods and systems that provide an insights page within a customer relationship management (CRM) application on a computing device. The system automatically determines potentially relevant records for the call, analyzes CRM information using artificial intelligence, ranks the records by relevance, and displays them in a priority order on the insights page without user input. The insights page includes a summary of the CRM information extracted from the records and user interface elements for triggering actions related to the records.

The method involves automatically populating the insights page during a call, in real-time, and during various types of calls such as voice-over-IP (VoIP) and video calls. The system probabilistically determines the most relevant records for the call, which can include data from social media, email, calendar, e-commerce, and more. Additionally, the system allows for actions such as updating records with transcriptions or creating new records directly from the insights page. The patent also covers a non-transitory computer-readable medium with processor-executable instructions for implementing the method, including analyzing CRM information using artificial intelligence to determine relevant records and providing the insights page in response to the call.
