Web transformers
The technology described herein relates to resource-efficient systems and methods for providing customized chatbot functionality through a web browser, without requiring each entity to separately host, train, and/or configure its own generative AI model. More specifically, custom AI metadata is included in the data package for a web resource. The custom AI metadata is extracted and used to enable customized chatbot features. The web browser identifies the custom AI metadata and uses the metadata to configure a generative AI model that supports chatbot functionality within the web browser. As a result, entities that provide webpages can customize AI-based chatbot functionality by including the custom AI metadata within the HTML content of the webpages.
1 . A system for implementing custom web transformers, comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
receiving, by a web browser from a web server, a web data package for a webpage, wherein the web data package includes a markup language for the webpage that specifies how the webpage is displayed in the web browser and further includes custom artificial intelligence (AI) metadata;
parsing the web data package to extract the custom AI metadata from the web data package;
launching a page-specific chat interface that is customized for the webpage based on the custom AI metadata;
receiving, in a chat interface, an input query;
generating a prompt including the custom AI metadata and the input query;
providing the prompt to a language model;
receiving, in response to the prompt, an output payload from the language model, the output payload including a response to the input query; and
surfacing, in the chat interface, the response from the output payload.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
based on detecting a presence of the custom AI metadata in the web data package, surfacing a page-specific chat activation user-interface (UI) element; and
receiving a selection of the page-specific chat activation UI element,
wherein the page-specific chat interface is launched in response to receiving the selection.
3 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising:
surfacing a generic chat activation UI element;
receiving a selection of the generic chat activation UI element; and
in response to receiving the selection of the generic chat activation UI element, replacing the page-specific chat interface with a generic chat interface.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the page-specific chat interface includes at least one of a chat title or a chat icon that is specified in the custom AI metadata.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein content for the webpage is surfaced in a main window of the web browser, and the page-specific chat interface is concurrently surfaced in a side pane of the web browser.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the custom AI metadata includes structure data for executing a query against at least one of the webpage or a website to which the webpage belongs.
7 . The system of claim 6 , wherein the structure data includes a structured uniform resource locator (URL) including query terms.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the custom AI metadata includes structure data for semantic parsing of the webpage.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the custom AI metadata includes one or more tasks that are capable of being completed by at least one of the webpage or a website to which the webpage belongs.
10 . The system of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the tasks further includes a web address for completing the tasks.
11 . The system of claim 9 , wherein one or more of the tasks further includes a sequence of actions to be performed to complete the tasks.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the output payload includes at least one web browser command for completing an action in the sequence of actions.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the web browser command is one of a navigation command or a form-filling command.
14 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the custom AI metadata includes subject-matter domain data for the webpage.
15 . The system of claim 1 , wherein parsing the web data package includes identifying a unique tag within HyperText Markup Language (HTML) that identifies the custom AI metadata.
16 . A system for implementing custom web transformers, comprising:
at least one processor; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
surfacing, in a toolbar of a web browser, a generic chat activation user-interface (UI) element for launching a generic chat interface that comprises a first input field;
receiving a selection of the generic chat activation UI element;
in response to the selection of the generic chat activation UI element, launching the generic chat interface;
receiving, by the web browser from a web server, a web data package for a webpage, wherein the web data package includes a markup language for the webpage that specifies how the webpage is displayed in the web browser and further includes custom artificial intelligence (AI) metadata;
parsing the web data package to extract the custom AI metadata from the web data package; and
based on a presence of the custom AI metadata, replacing the generic chat interface with a page-specific chat interface, wherein the page-specific chat interface includes one or more UI elements specified in the custom AI metadata.
17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the operations further comprise:
receiving, in the page-specific chat interface, an input query;
generating a prompt including the custom AI metadata and the input query;
providing the prompt to a language model;
receiving, in response to the prompt, an output payload from the language model including a response to the input query; and
surfacing, in the page-specific chat interface, the response.
18 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the custom AI metadata specifies at least one of a chat title or a chat icon for the page-specific chat interface.
19 . A computer-implemented method for implementing custom web transformers, the method comprising:
receiving, by a web browser from a web server, a web data package for a webpage, wherein the web data package includes a markup language for the webpage that specifies how the webpage is displayed in the web browser and further includes custom artificial intelligence (AI) metadata;
parsing the web data package to extract the custom AI metadata from the web data package;
launching a page-specific chat interface based on the custom AI metadata concurrently with a display of at least a portion of the webpage;
receiving, in the page-specific chat interface, an input query;
generating a prompt including the custom AI metadata and the input query;
providing the prompt to a language model;
receiving, in response to the prompt, an output payload from the language model, the output payload including a response to the input query and a web browser command;
surfacing, in the page-specific chat interface, the response in the output payload; and
executing the web browser command.
20 . The computer-implemented method of claim 19 , wherein the web browser command is one of a navigation command or a form filling command.
