Sender; David Strumwasser - Web page: https://patentgrep.com/patent/US20260099733A1 ## CPC - G06N 5/04: Inference or reasoning models - G06N: COMPUTING ARRANGEMENTS BASED ON SPECIFIC COMPUTATIONAL MODELS ## Abstract Systems and methods described herein enable clients to chat with various artificial intelligence (AI)-based applications and large language model (LLM) services through a single user interface with assured privacy and security. A network device stores, in a memory, service level information of multiple external AI services. The network device receives a natural language request from a client device and directs a prompt message to a chat-name service (CNS) system. The prompt message includes the natural language request. The network device converts the natural language request into at least one sequent chain of services to be performed by a target service of the multiple external AI services and send a service call to the target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services. The network device forwards a response from the target service to the client device. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method comprising: storing service level information of multiple external artificial intelligence (AI) services; receiving, by one or more network devices, a natural language request from a client device; directing, by the one or more network devices, a prompt message to a chat-name service (CNS) system, wherein the prompt message includes the natural language request; converting, by the one or more network devices, the natural language request into at least one sequent chain of services to be performed by a target service of the multiple external AI services; sending, by the one or more network devices, a service call to the target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services; and forwarding, by the one or more network devices, a response from the target service to the client device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the converting includes: performing a lookup of an authorization scope, for an initiator of the natural language request, to the multiple external AI services. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the converting includes: selecting the target service from the multiple external AI services. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the converting includes: forming a CNS response message in a concatenated format that includes a registered name of the target service, commands, and parameters for each link in the at least one sequent chain of services. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein sending the service call includes: sending a first application programming interface (API) call to a first target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services; and sending a second API call to a second target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the natural language request includes an authorization key for an initiator of the natural language request, and wherein the authorization key is included with the prompt message. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the multiple external AI services includes services provided by: a software as a service (SaaS) application, a general large language model (LLM) service, or a domain-specific LLM service. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the natural language request is service agnostic. ### Claim 9 A system comprising: one or more devices including processors configured to: store service level information of multiple external artificial intelligence (AI) services; receive a natural language request from a client device; direct a prompt message to a chat-name service (CNS) system, wherein the prompt message includes the natural language request; convert the natural language request into at least one sequent chain of services to be performed by a target service of the multiple external AI services; send a service call to the target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services; and forward a response from the target service to the client device. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein, when converting the natural language request, the processors are further configured to: perform a lookup of an authorization scope, for an initiator of the natural language request, to the multiple external AI services. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein, when converting the natural language request, the processors are further configured to: select the target service from the multiple external AI services. ### Claim 12 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein, when converting the natural language request, the processors are further configured to: form a CNS response message in a concatenated format that includes a registered name of the target service, commands, and parameters for each link in the at least one sequent chain of services. ### Claim 13 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein, when sending the service call, the processors are further configured to: send a first application programming interface (API) call to a first target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services; and send, after sending the first API call, a second API call to a second target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services. ### Claim 14 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the natural language request includes an authorization key for an initiator of the natural language request, and wherein the authorization key is included with the prompt message. ### Claim 15 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the multiple external AI services includes services provided by at least one of the following: a software as a service (SaaS) application, a general large language model (LLM) service, or a domain-specific LLM service. ### Claim 16 (depends on 9) The system of claim 9, wherein the natural language request is service agnostic. ### Claim 17 A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing instructions executable by one or more processors of a computing device for: storing service level information of multiple external artificial intelligence (AI) services; receiving a natural language request from a client device; directing a prompt message to a chat-name service (CNS) system, wherein the prompt message includes the natural language request; converting the natural language request into at least one sequent chain of services to be performed by a target service of the multiple external AI services; sending a service call to the target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services; and forwarding a response from the target service to the client device. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the instructions for converting the natural language request further include instructions for: selecting the target service from the multiple external AI services, and forming a CNS response message in a concatenated format that includes a registered name of the target service, commands, and parameters for each link in the at least one sequent chain of services. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the instructions for sending the service call further include instructions for: sending a first application programming interface (API) call to a first target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services; and sending a second API call, after sending the first API call, to a second target service based on the at least one sequent chain of services. ### Claim 20 (depends on 17) The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 17, wherein the natural language request is service agnostic.
