Abstract

Systems and methods for generating tasks based on chat sessions between users of a collaboration environment are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: obtain content information characterizing content of the chat sessions between the users of the collaboration environment; generate tasks for the users based on the content from the chat sessions, a first task being generated based on the first content information for the first chat session; and/or store information defining the tasks generated as part of the state information such that the first task is defined by a first task record.

Claims (32)

1. A system configured to modify tasks, the system comprising:

non-transitory electronic storage; and

one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:

modify one or more tasks based on content of communications between users of a collaboration environment, wherein information defining modifications of individual tasks are stored as part of individual task records of the individual tasks, wherein a first task is modified by a first task modification based on the content of a first communication between a first user and a second user of the collaboration environment, and wherein first information defining the first task modification for the first task is stored within a first task record of the first task.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to:

implement an instance of a communication session to facilitate the communications between the users; and

transmit the communications that make up the communication session to client computing platforms for presentation through graphical interfaces, the graphical interfaces being presented on the client computing platforms within and/or outside the collaboration environment.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to:

obtain content information characterizing the content of the communications between the users of the collaboration environment.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more hardware processors are further configured by the machine-readable instructions to:

store the information defining the modifications of the individual tasks in the individual task records.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communications are synchronous chat communications.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more tasks are modified based on context of the communications, wherein the first task is modified based on the context of the first communication.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communications are textual communications.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the communications are voice and/or video communications.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein modifying the one or more tasks includes automatically modifying one or more fields describing the individual tasks.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first communication is a task-specific communication.

11. A computer-implemented method to modify tasks, the method comprising:

modifying one or more tasks based on content of communications between users of a collaboration environment, wherein information defining modifications of individual tasks are stored as part of individual task records of the individual tasks, including modifying a first task by a first task modification based on the content of a first communication between a first user and a second user of the collaboration environment, and storing first information defining the first task modification for the first task within a first task record of the first task.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

implementing an instance of a communication session to facilitate the communications between the users; and

transmitting the communications that make up the communication session to client computing platforms for presentation through graphical interfaces, the graphical interfaces being presented on the client computing platforms within and/or outside the collaboration environment.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

obtaining content information characterizing the content of the communications between the users of the collaboration environment.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

storing the information defining the modifications of the individual tasks in the individual task records.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the communications are synchronous chat communications.

16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the one or more tasks are modified based on context of the communications, wherein the first task is modified based on the context of the first communication.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the communications are textual communications.

18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the communications are voice and/or video communications.

19. The method of claim 11 , wherein modifying the one or more tasks includes automatically modifying one or more fields describing the individual tasks.

20. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first communication is a task-specific communication.
