Finding the right information at work is often frustrating because traditional search tools treat all searches the same way. They don't account for how the meaning of words changes across different industries and contexts. When you search for "compliance," you'll get vastly different results depending on whether you work in healthcare, finance, or manufacturing - yet most search tools can't tell the difference.
Akooda Enterprise Search takes a different approach by using AI and verticalization to understand industry-specific language and context. This helps you find what you're actually looking for without wading through irrelevant results.
Understanding Context Is The Solution
The key to Akooda's effectiveness is how it uses AI to interpret searches within your specific industry context. For instance, when financial professionals search for "compliance," they're typically concerned with banking regulations and financial reporting requirements. Healthcare teams using the same term are usually looking for HIPAA guidelines and patient privacy protocols.
Akooda recognizes these differences through verticalization - essentially tailoring search capabilities to understand the unique terminology, regulations, and priorities of specific industries. This isn't just about filtering results differently; it's about fundamentally understanding what information matters in your particular field.
This AI-powered contextual understanding means you receive more accurate and relevant information because the system recognizes what you're truly seeking. As a result, you can make better-informed decisions based on precisely the information you need rather than spending valuable time sorting through unhelpful results.
Entity Generation
Traditional search just looks for matching words. Akooda does something much more powerful by using AI to understand what your data is actually about through a process called entity generation.
Entity Recognition Makes Search Smarter
Entity generation is how Akooda identifies and categorizes the key elements in your content. Instead of just seeing text as words, Akooda's AI recognizes distinct entities and their relationships:
- It recognizes people (like employees vs. outside contacts)
- It distinguishes between different organizations (vendors, partners, competitors)
- It understands the main topics being discussed
This happens because Akooda uses Natural Language Processing to analyze content the way humans do, not just as strings of text.
Connections Create Better Results
When you search in Akooda, you get richer information because the system understands relationships. For example:
When Akooda sees "Jane Doe" in a document, it doesn't just find that name. It connects Jane to her department, her projects, and her team. This means when you search for Jane, you can easily see everything she's working on.
Similarly, searching for a project shows you not just documents with that project name but also the team members involved, related organizations, and important conversations about it.
This connected approach helps you discover information you might have missed with traditional search because you can explore topics from multiple angles and find relationships you didn't know existed.
Contextual Understanding
Search often fails because words can mean different things in different situations. Akooda solves this problem with AI that understands the true meaning behind your search.
For example, when you search for "Apple," Akooda can tell whether you're looking for information about the technology company or the fruit based on your search history and work context. This means you get relevant results without having to be extremely specific in your search terms.
What makes Akooda especially powerful is how it adapts to your specific role and needs. When a sales manager searches for "product launch," they'll see marketing materials and competitor analysis. An engineer searching for the same term will instead find technical specifications and development timelines. This happens because Akooda learns from your job role, past searches, and work patterns.
Continuous Refinement
Akooda keeps getting smarter as you use it. The system constantly learns from new data and how people interact with search results to improve its accuracy over time.
This learning ability helps Akooda understand complex situations like abbreviations and acronyms. For instance, "ES" might typically mean "Elastic Search" in most contexts, but within Akooda's environment, it often refers to "Enterprise Search." The system figures out which meaning is correct based on who's searching and their typical work focus.
Similarly, "MVP" means completely different things to different teams. For sales and marketing, it's "Most Valuable Player" - highlighting top performers. For product development, it's "Minimal Viable Product" - an early test version. Akooda recognizes these differences and delivers the right results for each team.
Reimagining Enterprise Search
Akooda represents a fundamental change in how organizations find and use information. By combining AI with industry-specific knowledge, smooth integrations with your existing tools, and deep contextual understanding, Akooda helps people find exactly what they need quickly.
It goes beyond traditional search to become a complete knowledge discovery platform that unlocks the full value of your organization's information.
