Method for controlling a real-time conversation and real-time communication and collaboration platform

A method for controlling a real-time communication in a collaboration platform, comprising:

• identifying a participant as an authorized user to access a digital assistant unit;
• prior to routing an audio stream from the authorized user to a mixing unit of a conference server, routing the audio stream to the digital assistant unit, wherein routing the audio stream to the digital assistant unit before routing to the mixing unit separates digital assistant audio processing from conference audio mixing;
• transcribing, by the digital assistant unit, the audio stream to generate a transcription;
• analyzing the transcription to identify a command;
• and
• executing the command by the digital assistant unit.

A system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory storing instructions for controlling a real-time communication in a collaboration platform, the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause:
• identifying a participant as an authorized user to access a digital assistant unit;
• prior to routing an audio stream from the authorized user to a mixing unit of a conference server, routing the audio stream to the digital assistant unit, wherein routing the audio stream to the digital assistant unit before routing to the mixing unit separates digital assistant audio processing from conference audio mixing;
• transcribing, by the digital assistant unit, the audio stream to generate a transcription;
• analyzing the transcription to identify a command;
• and
• executing the command by the digital assistant unit.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for controlling a real-time communication in a collaboration platform, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause:

• identifying a participant as an authorized user to access a digital assistant unit;
• prior to routing an audio stream from the authorized user to a mixing unit of a conference server, routing the audio stream to the digital assistant unit, wherein routing the audio stream to the digital assistant unit before routing to the mixing unit separates digital assistant audio processing from conference audio mixing;
• transcribing, by the digital assistant unit, the audio stream to generate a transcription;
• analyzing the transcription to identify a command;
• and
• executing the command by the digital assistant unit.
