Abstract

A system maintains data objects representing insights. The system captures an insight object as a segmented media object. The system maintains user circles based on various topics of interest to users. The system assigns expertise scores to users within a circle. A user may have different expertise scores for different topics. The systems assigns significance scores for the insight objects based on user interactions performed with the insight object, the interactions weighted by expertise scores of users performing the interactions for topics associated with the insight. The system determines a schedule for repeated delivery of the insight to one or more users. The system adjusts the delivery of the insight to a user based on scheduled events or user activity of the user and delivers the insight in accordance with the schedule.

responsive to receiving the selection, display while recording the selected segment, a widget indicating a difference between the allocated time and an amount of time spent recording the selected segment;

sending for presentation, the user interface via a client device associated with the user within a threshold time interval of the event;

receiving a plurality of content items via the user interface, each content item associated with a segment of the selected template;

combining the content items associated with the segments to generate a combined content item; and

associating a data object with the combined content item and storing the data object.

2. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein selecting the template comprises:

associating the event with a workflow for the user;

selecting the template based on a degree of relevance of the template with the event.

3. The computer implemented method of claim 2, wherein the template is selected based on a degree of relevance of the template with respect to the workflow.

4. The computer implemented method of claim 2, wherein the workflow is one of:

a process workflow based on a process defined by an external system,

an activity workflow based on an aggregated rate of user actions monitored within the system, or

an event workflow based on a particular event associated with the user.

5. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein selecting the template comprises:

configuring for presentation, a first user interface identifying a plurality of templates, each template comprising a sequence of segments

receiving, via the first user interface, a selection of a particular template from the plurality of templates presented via the user interface, the particular template associated with a particular sequence of segments; and

configuring for presentation, a second user interface comprising a plurality of widgets, each widget for performing interactions associated with a segment from the particular sequence.

6. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein each segment of the selected template is associated with a cue describing expected content for the segment, further comprising, for each segment:

presenting a cue associated with the segment;

responsive to presenting the cue, receiving media from the user, the media comprising one or more of video, audio, or text content; and

associating the receiving media from the user with the data object representing the insight.

7. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user interface is configured to:

responsive a user selecting a widget for recording a segment associated with an allocated time for the segment, displaying a cue associated with the segment.

8. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein an event is a meeting associated with the user, wherein selecting the template comprises:

identifying one or more templates associated with topics matching information specified in the meeting.

9. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein an event is a meeting associated with the user, wherein selecting the template comprises:

identifying one or more templates associated with topics matching users participating in the meeting.

10. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein identifying an event associated with the user comprises:

interfacing with an external system to receive information describing a project or workflow associated with the user; and

wherein the event is associated with a stage of the project or workflow associated with the user.

11. The computer implemented method of claim 10, wherein the event is associated with a stage of the workflow and wherein the template is selected based on the stage of the workflow.

12. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the event is a communication between the user and a designated contact, the communication comprising one of:

an email, message, or phone call received from the designated contact, wherein the template is selected based on matching of topics related with the template and information describing the designated contact.

13. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein an event represents a rate of user interactions associated with a topic exceeding an activity threshold for the topic, wherein selecting the template comprises, identifying one or more templates associated the topic.

14. The computer implemented method of claim 1, wherein the user interface is scheduled for presentation, a preconfigured time interval after the event.

15. The computer implemented method of claim 1, further comprising:

storing a plurality of templates, each template identifying a sequence of cues; and

receiving a selection of a template and interacting with the user to receive the information describing the data object based on the selected template.

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions for:

associating, by a processor, a user with one or more topics;
