Abstract

Disclosed aspects relate to managing a set of offers using a dialogue. An adaptive profile may be received with respect to a client. The adaptive profile may indicate a set of client profile data, a set of client event data, and a set of client context data. A dialogue may be established with the client based on the adaptive profile. A set of offers may be resolved by an offer management engine based on the dialogue. The set of offers may be presented to the client.

Claims (16)

1. A computer-implemented method for managing a set of offers using a dialogue, the method comprising:

receiving, with respect to a client, an adaptive profile which indicates: a set of client profile data, a set of client event data, and a set of client context data;

detecting that the set of client profile data includes a set of client background interest information;

detecting that the set of client event data includes a set of current activity information;

detecting that the set of client context data includes a set of current external event information;

establishing, based on the adaptive profile, the dialogue with the client;

determining, based on the adaptive profile, the set of client background interest information, the set of current activity information, and the set of current external event information, a set of dialogue items to provide to the client to facilitate the dialogue;

providing, to the client to facilitate the dialogue, the set of dialogue items which relate to the set of client background interest information, the set of current activity information, and the set of current external event information;

capturing, from the client with respect to the dialogue, a set of dialogue data;

ascertaining the set of dialogue data which indicates a set of relevant feedback to the set of dialogue items which relates to the set of client background interest information based on the set of dialogue items which relates to the set of client background interest information;

ascertaining the set of dialogue data which indicates a set of relevant feedback to the set of dialogue items which relates to the set of current activity information based on the set of dialogue items which relates to the set of current activity information;

ascertaining the set of dialogue data which indicates a set of relevant feedback to the set of dialogue items which relates to the set of current external event information based on the set of dialogue items which relates to the set of current external event information;

ascertaining, using a natural language processing technique with respect to the set of dialogue data, a set of derived inference data;

evaluating a set of candidate offers with respect to both the set of derived inference data and the adaptive profile;

identifying, using the set of dialogue data, the set of offers from the set of candidate offers; and

presenting the set of offers to the client.
