Intelligent interventions

Assistants & Coaching Cards

AttentionTag doesn't just measure engagement — it acts on it. Two complementary systems work together: Assistants intervene on the viewer's side, while Coaching Cards guide the speaker in real-time.

Assistants

Automated interventions triggered on the viewer's device when engagement thresholds are breached. Configured by the speaker or admin.

Coaching Cards

AI-generated coaching suggestions delivered to the speaker in their meeting sidebar, helping them adapt their delivery in real-time.

Assistants

Rule-based workflows that act on engagement signals

How They Work

Assistants are workflows you configure in the speaker console. Each assistant has three components:

1

Condition

The engagement threshold that triggers the assistant — for example, "valence drops below 30%" or "3+ viewers sleepy for 2 minutes."

2

Category

The type of intervention: Comprehension Support, Attention Reinforcement, Engagement Encouragement, or Stress Mitigation.

3

Action

What happens when the condition is met — a visual prompt on the viewer's screen, an auditory cue, or a chat message.

Live Mode

Executes in real-time on the viewer's device during the session. When the condition is met, the action fires immediately — a visual prompt appears on their screen, or an auditory cue plays. No server round-trip needed.

Daily Mode

Evaluated periodically on the server. Ideal for batch actions like sending summary emails, triggering webhook notifications, or SMS alerts when engagement patterns are detected over a session.

Action Types

Visual Prompt

An on-screen message or overlay on the viewer's device

Auditory Cue

A sound alert to recapture attention

Chat

In-app chat message to the viewer

Example Scenario

Condition

Viewer's focus drops below 40% for more than 3 minutes

Category

Attention Reinforcement

Action

Visual prompt: "Quick check — are you still with us?"

Coaching Cards

AI-generated, real-time guidance for the speaker

How They Work

During a live session, AttentionTag continuously monitors aggregate engagement across all viewers. When it detects a meaningful dip — such as several students losing focus or showing signs of confusion — it automatically generates a coaching card and delivers it to the speaker's meeting sidebar.

1

Monitor

Engagement signals checked continuously

2

Detect

Threshold breach identified (individual or aggregate)

3

Generate

AI creates contextual coaching suggestion

4

Deliver

Card appears in speaker's meeting sidebar

Anatomy of a Coaching Card

Comprehension may be lagging

4 students drifting for 3+ minutes

Suggested Actions

Interactive mockup — actual cards appear in the Zoom or Teams sidebar

Urgency Level

Each card is tagged with an urgency level so you can prioritise:

Low — minor dip, worth noting
Medium — noticeable disengagement
High — significant drop, act now

Context-Aware Suggestions

The AI considers the full meeting context when generating suggestions — including engagement trends, which specific viewers are struggling, how far into the session you are, and even the meeting transcript. This means suggestions are specific and actionable, not generic advice.

The AI also remembers previous cards in the same session, so it won't repeat suggestions you've already seen or acted on.

What the Speaker Can Do

Act on It

Check off the suggestions you followed, then mark the card as Done. This helps the AI learn what works for your teaching style.

Dismiss

If the suggestion isn't relevant right now, dismiss it. The card is logged but won't distract you further.

Ignore

Cards stay visible until you act — you're never forced to respond. Focus on teaching, address them when you have a natural pause.
