Providing generative artificial intelligence (AI) content based on existing in-page content in a workspace

An electronic server device for creating in-container content presented in a container on a page of a workspace comprising:

• at least one hardware processor;
• and
• at least one non-transitory memory storing instructions, which, when executed by the at least one hardware processor, cause the electronic device to:
• receive an input that actuates a control of the container configured to initiate a generative process to create in-container content of a particular type,
• wherein the container is embedded as an in-page object on the page of the workspace;
• in response to the input:
• determining a selection of in-page content based on a location of the container relative to the in-page content,
• wherein the in-page content is located outside of an area of container;
• causing a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system to create generative content of the particular type based on input including the selection of the in-page content;
• modifying a size of the container area to include the generative content as generative in-container content;
• and
• populating the modified container area to present the generative in-container content.

A computer-implemented method for creating in-block content presented in a block on a page of a workspace, the method comprising:

• receiving an input that actuates a control of the block configured to initiate a generative process to create in-block content of a particular type,
• wherein the block is embedded as an in-page object on the page of the workspace and has dimensions that define a block area occupying a corresponding page area on the page of the workspace;
• in response to the input:
• determining a selection of in-page content based on a location of the block relative to the in-page content and the particular type of in-block content;
• accessing additional content that is different from the in-page content;
• causing a generative artificial intelligence (AI) system to create generative content of the particular type based on input including the selection of the in-page content and the accessed additional content;
• modifying a size of the block area to contain the generative content as generative in-block content,
• wherein the size of the block area is constrained to fit the generative in-block content;
• and
• populating the modified block area to present the generative in-block content.
