Workspace Link Previews Using AI-Generated Page Summaries
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing digital workspaces lack effective methods for providing accurate and efficient link previews, leading to unnecessary clicks on irrelevant content, which hampers user productivity.
Innovation Solution
Implementing generative AI systems to regenerate textual summaries of linked pages and selectively display previews based on block properties and user inputs, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of link previews.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If link previews are provided without accurate content representation, then users can quickly navigate links, but users may click on irrelevant content unnecessarily
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by generating and storing textual summaries of linked pages in advance before users need to access them. The summary is generated when the page is first accessed or updated, and stored for future use, so that when a user encounters a link, the summary is already ready to provide accurate content representation without requiring real-time processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a textual summary copy of the linked page's content that captures the essential information. This summary copy is stored and displayed to users instead of requiring them to access the full original page, enabling them to evaluate relevance quickly while maintaining accurate representation of the content.
2Measurement precision
If comprehensive content summaries are generated for all links, then link preview accuracy is improved, but system complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs the content summarization action in advance when pages are first accessed or updated, rather than performing it on-demand for every link view. This preliminary generation and storage of summaries reduces the processing complexity during user interaction, as the heavy computational task is completed beforehand.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically generates and maintains content summaries without requiring manual intervention or complex real-time processing. The summarization is performed autonomously when pages are accessed or updated, and the results are stored for future use, reducing the ongoing system complexity and processing requirements.
Data Source
AI summary
A method for providing a link and associated preview of content on a workspace includes causing on a first page of the workspace display of a link to a second page of the workspace. The link can be embedded as an in-page object on the first page, and the second page can embed multiple blocks as in-page objects. The method can include regenerating a textual summary of the second page by using a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system and storing the textual summary as a summary property. In response to an input, the method can include determining that the second page includes the summary property. The method can include causing display of a preview of the second page while displaying the link on the first page. The preview can include the textual summary of the second page that was generated using the generative AI system.
