    "patent_abstract": "Techniques for generating a virtual space overview are discussed herein. A communication platform may receive a request from a user profile to view an overview of a virtual space. Based on the request, the communication platform may receive criteria associated with the request. The criteria may indicate a type of content to include in the overview, a recency of the content, filters, etc. The communication platform may identify the content to include in the overview based on the criteria. The communication platform may use the content to generate the overview. That is, the overview may include one or more sections that include summaries and/or relevant data based on the content. The communication platform may cause overview to be displayed via a user interface of a user device of the user profile.",
