How Answer Engines Work & Why Your Business Should Have Its Own

Cognistx Data Scientist Justin Waltrip explains the difference between search engines and answer engines.

Not quite a search engine and not quite a chat bot, the answer engine provides nuanced, relevant and cited content in response to a question.

Justin offers several examples including how SQUARE, Cognistx's platform, uses this same technology applied to a company's corpus of documents including audio and video files, pdfs, emails and other document types.

SQUARE: Searching Your Audio and Video Files

SQUARE: Searching Your Audio and Video Files

SQUARE is Cognistx's answer engine for businesses. We apply generative and extractive AI to your corpus of documents, allowing your team to find the answers they need.

Now, SQUARE can search audio and video files.

Imagine you own a franchise, and your new employee needs to remember the cleaning protocols covered in training. A quick SQUARE search pulls up an employee training video and a specific reference to cleaning procedures, so they don't have to scroll through two hours of video for what they need.

Cognistx CEO Sanjay Chopra and Data Scientist Justin Waltrip discuss this latest innovation and how it works.
