Generating in-app guided edits including concise instructions and coachmarks

A system comprising:

• one or more memory devices comprising a repository of descriptions for guiding a user through operations associated with a client application, a plurality of coachmarks corresponding to respective user interface elements associated with the client application, and a multi-task summarization neural network comprising an encoder, a decoder, a coachmark generator, and a concise instruction generator;
• and
• one or more computing devices that are configured to cause the system to:
• identify, from the repository of descriptions, a description of an operation to perform within the client application;
• determine, from the plurality of coachmarks, a coachmark that indicates a user interface element associated with the description of the operation by utilizing the encoder to generate encoder vector representations of the description and utilizing the coachmark generator to generate a first probability distribution indicating respective probabilities of the plurality of coachmarks corresponding to the description based on the encoder vector representations;
• generate a concise instruction corresponding to the coachmark by utilizing the decoder to generate a sequence of decoder vector representations based on the encoder vector representations and by utilizing the concise instruction generator to generate a second probability distribution indicating respective probabilities of words to select based on the sequence of decoder vector representations;
• and
• provide, for display within a user interface associated with the client application, representations of the concise instruction and the coachmark.

A computer-implemented method for providing in-app instructions for guiding users through tasks associated with client applications, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• identifying, from a repository of descriptions for guiding a user through operations associated with a client application, a description of an operation to perform within the client application;
• performing a step for generating a concise instruction and a coachmark based on the description of the operation;
• and
• providing, for display within a user interface associated with the client application, representations of the concise instruction and the coachmark.
