Automated content creation and content services for collaboration platforms

A computer-implemented method of providing content editing services for an electronic document of a collaboration platform, the method comprising:

• causing display of a graphical user interface on a frontend of the collaboration platform on a client device, the graphical user interface including an editor region displaying user-generated content of the electronic document;
• causing display of a command selection interface window overlapping at least a portion of the user-generated content, the command selection interface window including a set of command controls, the set of command controls corresponding to a set of content modification actions;
• in response to a user selection of a particular command control of the set of command controls, generating a prompt comprising:
• predefined query prompt text selected in accordance with the particular command control;
• at least one schema-defining text portion, the schema-defining text portion determined in accordance with a markup formatting item extracted from the electronic document;
• and
• a text-formatted version of the user-generated content of the electronic document;
• providing the prompt to an external generative output engine using an application programming interface call over a computer network to the external generative output engine;
• obtaining a generative response from the generative output engine;
• and
• causing display of the generative response in the graphical user interface.

A computer-implemented method of transforming content of an electronic document of a collaboration platform, the method comprising:

• in response to a user input provided to a graphical user interface of a frontend of the collaboration platform executing on a client device, identifying a first electronic document managed by the collaboration platform;
• causing display of a set of command controls, the set of command controls corresponding to a set of content modification actions;
• in response to a user selection of a particular command control of the set of command controls, generating a prompt comprising:
• predefined query prompt text including context-defining text corresponding to the particular command control;
• a schema-defining text portion based on and specific to the selected particular command control;
• and
• text generated using user-generated content of the first electronic document;
• providing the prompt to an external generative output engine using an application programming interface call over a computer network to the external generative output engine;
• obtaining a generative response from the external generative output engine;
• causing display of the generative response in the graphical user interface;
• and
• in response to a user selection of an input control, causing the generative response to be inserted into a second document managed by the collaboration platform.
