Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) agent systems and methods are described for dynamically generating content regarding personal care activity. A query comprising natural language including natural language tokens defining activity of a user is received and used as input to an AI agent program to dynamically determine executable code programmed to address the user's activity. Content as output for responding to the query is dynamically generated based on execution of the executable code. The content is transmitted to a computing device of the user for output by the computing device regarding the user's activity.

Abstract

A device (100) for changing an orientation of an article (80) while moving the article in an orbital path (Al) about a first axis from an in-feed position (65) to an output position (75). The device comprises a body and at least one article turning unit (110) mounted to the body. The body is configured to rotate about a first axis, thus rotating each article turning unit about the first axis. Each article turning unit comprises an article holder (120) configured to transport an article from the in-feed position to the output position, and a cam system (130) configured to cause the article holder to rotate intermittently as the article turning unit is rotated about the first axis.
