Abstract

A method to send an alert for nonproductivity associated with a conversation is provided. The method may include recording a plurality of communication outputs of at least two users engaged in a remote message exchange or a remote conversation. The method may also include creating a plurality of text tokens based on the recorded plurality of communication outputs. The method may include analyzing, by a graphical text analyzer, the created plurality of text tokens to determine whether the plurality of text tokens has fallen below a threshold. The method may further include sending an alert to the plurality of users involved in the conversation if it is determined that the plurality of text tokens has fallen below the threshold.
