    Abstract: A method for implementing chats that includes: providing a chat feature and chat interface on a webpage; providing two types of the chat resources for generating the text inputs of the chats, an automated chat resource type and a human chat resource type; providing a routing function that selectively routes incoming chats between the two types of the chat resources; providing a first selectable portion on the chat interface that, when selected by a customer, indicates a customer chat preference as to whether the customer prefers to chat with chat resources of the automated chat resource type or human chat resource type; receiving input from the customer device indicating that the customer selected the first selectable portion; determining from the received input the customer chat preference; and routing in accordance with the determined preference.

    Abstract: A method for classifying customers via operation of a probability score of a predictive model that expresses a probability of a customer achieving a predicted outcome. The method includes: recording previous probability scores and grouping within a dataset; sorting the dataset by an increasing value; deriving a set of reference quantiles based on the sorted previous probability scores of the dataset; determining action thresholds defining a range of target quantiles within the set of reference quantiles; receiving a probability score from the predictive model for a first customer in a current interaction; comparing the probability score of the first customer to the probability scores in the set of reference quantiles to determine a matching quantile; and determining if the matching quantile is within the range of target quantiles and, based thereon, selectively classifying the first customer in the target audience.
