What Company Is Offering:

Powerset’s goal is to change the way people interact with technology by enabling computers to understand our language. Powerset is first applying its natural language processing to search, aiming to improve the way we find information by unlocking the meaning encoded in ordinary human language.

How It Works:

Powerset’s first product is a search and discovery experience for Wikipedia, launched in May 2008. Powerset’s technology improves the entire search process. In the search box, you can express yourself in keywords, phrases, or simple questions. On the search results page, Powerset gives more accurate results, often answering questions directly, and aggregates information from across multiple articles. Finally, Powerset’s technology follows you into enhanced Wikipedia articles, giving you a better way to quickly digest and navigate content.By initially focusing on the Wikipedia collection, Powerset showcases how our technology not only improves search results, but provides new ways to aggregate, summarize and navigate information. Of course Wikipedia is only a starting point. In the coming months, Powerset will expand our product offerings with additional premium content and exciting new features.
