Quid Cheerleading: The Future of Search
March 4, 2016
I read “The Future of {Re}search.” (I love the curly braces.) The write up identifies the four big things in information access. Keep in mind that the write up is a rah rah for Quid, which is okay.
Here are the main points:
- Semantic search is the next big thing
- Visualization matters
- Humans are part of the search process
- Bots are the “Future of Search.” (The capitalization is from the source document.)
Quid is an interesting company. I thought that the firm was focused on analytics and nifty visualizations. Their catchphrase is “intelligence amplified,” which strikes me as similar to Palantir’s “augmented intelligence.”
If the write up is on the money, Quid is a search vendor in the same way Palantir Technologies is a search vendor.
The point about bots may catch the attention of the ever-alert Connotate folks. I think bots has been an important part of that firm’s services for many years.
So, “the next big thing”? Well, sort of.
