Solution Overview

Problem

Existing collaboration platforms require employees to manually perform repetitive and time-consuming tasks due to rigid policy-driven requirements, leading to reduced productivity and increased errors.

Innovation Solution

Implement a centralized automation rule service that uses a generative output engine to automatically generate and manage automation rules across multiple platforms, ensuring consistent rule creation and management through a unified interface, reducing manual effort and enhancing accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If employees manually perform policy-driven tasks to ensure compliance and documentation quality, then content accuracy and policy adherence are improved, but time consumption and productivity are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent accuracyVSAvoidemployee productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-assessment of content against organization policies. The assessment service automatically evaluates content items, identifies policy violations, and generates feedback without requiring manual employee intervention, thus maintaining content accuracy while freeing employee time for higher-value tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

Manual policy compliance checking and content assessment tasks are replaced by an automated computer-based assessment service. The system uses algorithms and AI to evaluate content against policy criteria, substituting the mechanical manual review process with an automated digital system that provides consistent, scalable assessment

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

2Reliability

If employees manually document and structure content according to rigid policies, then policy compliance is improved, but time consumption and resource usage are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepolicy complianceVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary automated assessment of content before it is fully published or distributed. By conducting policy compliance checks in advance, the system prevents non-compliant content from progressing further, reducing the need for later manual corrections and rework

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The assessment service provides automated feedback to employees about policy compliance status of their content. This immediate feedback loop allows employees to correct issues quickly rather than waiting for manual review, maintaining high compliance rates while reducing overall processing time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple discrete software platforms are used for collaboration, then functional versatility is improved, but system complexity and management overhead are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefunctional versatilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The assessment service is designed as a universal system that can evaluate content across multiple different collaboration platforms and content types. A single assessment service instance can handle documents, messages, code, and other content formats from various platforms, reducing the need for separate assessment tools for each platform

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The assessment service acts as an intermediary layer between employees and multiple collaboration platforms. Rather than requiring direct integration with each platform, the service receives content through standardized interfaces and returns assessment results, simplifying the architecture and reducing management overhead

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Reliability

If rigid policy-driven tasks are enforced to ensure quality standards, then content quality is improved, but employee morale and productivity are worsened

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent qualityVSAvoidoverall productivity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system empowers employees with automated self-assessment capabilities, allowing them to independently evaluate their own content against policy standards. This self-service approach maintains quality control while giving employees autonomy and reducing the perceived burden of compliance tasks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Embodiments described herein relate to systems and methods for automated content assessment for collaboration platforms. An automation rule may be established that uses a condition component that utilizes a generative output engine. A trigger component may trigger the automation rule to run, for example when an object is created or modified. A content portion from the object may be used to generate a condition prompt for the generative output engine that also includes a classifier string for the content portion and a set of example input-output content to classifier pairs. Based on a returned generative response, the condition component of the automation rule may be satisfied, and one or more next components of the automation rule performed in response. In some examples, the next component may include actions or additional conditions that utilize the generative output engine.
