Solution Overview

Problem

Channel owners on content sharing platforms face the challenge of responding to a large volume of member comments, which is time-consuming and can lead to loss of members if not addressed promptly, thereby affecting revenue generation.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing artificial intelligence, specifically large language models (LLM), is employed to generate personalized reply recommendations for member comments, pre-filling a reply window with suggestions based on the channel owner's writing style and context, including gratuity statements or answers to questions, and optionally linking to relevant media items.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If channel owners manually respond to member comments, then member engagement and retention can be maintained, but time consumption increases and productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemember retentionVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-service responding through AI-generated replies. The channel owner initiates the process by selecting comments that need responses, and the system automatically generates and posts replies without requiring manual drafting, thus maintaining member engagement while reducing time investment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The manual mechanical process of writing and posting comments is replaced with an automated electronic system. The AI model generates reply text based on the selected comment and channel owner's communication style, and the system automatically posts the reply, substituting the manual writing and posting actions with automated computational processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If channel owners respond to all member comments manually, then member engagement improves, but productivity and revenue generation are affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemember engagementVSAvoidrevenue generation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automates the engagement process by generating and posting replies automatically once the channel owner selects the comment. This maintains member engagement through timely responses while freeing the channel owner to focus on higher-value activities that drive revenue generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of response time from manual drafting time to automated generation time. By altering the method of reply creation from manual to automated, the system maintains engagement quality while significantly reducing the time parameter, thereby improving overall productivity and revenue potential

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If AI models are used to generate reply recommendations, then time savings and productivity increase, but device complexity and computing resource usage increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI model serves as an intermediary between the channel owner and the comment response process. Instead of the channel owner directly writing responses, the AI model generates recommendations that the owner reviews and approves, simplifying the overall system by introducing a specialized component that handles the complex task of reply generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The AI model performs preliminary action by generating reply recommendations before the channel owner needs to post a response. This advance preparation of reply options streamlines the workflow, requiring only review and approval from the owner, thus improving productivity while managing complexity through pre-computation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

A method includes identifying, by a processing device of a content sharing platform, a comment associated with a media item on the content sharing platform. A prompt is provided as input to an artificial intelligence (AI) model to cause the AI model to generate a reply to the comment. An output of the artificial intelligence (AI) model is received. Based on the output, a reply window is pre-filled with a reply associated with the comment.
