Powerset launches their first product
Powerset is a San Francisco-based company, founded in 2005. 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.
Powerset’s first product is a search and discovery experience for Wikipedia, launched in May 2008. Instead of being limited to keywords, Powerset allows you to enter keywords, phrases, or questions. Instead of just showing you a list of blue links, Powerset gives you more accurate search results, often answering questions directly, and aggregates information from across multiple articles. Finally, instead of leaving you at the search page, Powerset’s technology follows you into enhanced Wikipedia articles, giving you a better way to digest and navigate content quickly.
If you’re all about immediate satisfaction, go straight to Powerset.com and start searching. If you aren’t sure where to start, use the query examples at the bottom of the homepage. Powerset is packing a lot of features into this release. To get the most out of your Powerset experience, you can watch our video that highlights some of the key features in Powerset. You might also want to read through some of help text.
