OUR SOLUTION
We work with experts in different sectors to develop
Trustworthy AI Navigators
- Our solution wraps Large Language Models, via multiply-indexed knowledge models that make responses reliable and verifiable
- We use curated workflows created by human experts to deliver solutions, not just information, in simple interactive visuals
- Revealing hidden connections and vital innovations that unlock the value in structured / unstructured data, with complete provenance hyperlinks to details in sources
HOW IT WORKS
We have developed a unique AI innovation that fuses cutting edge generative AI techniques with a range of other technologies. Each of our trustworthy AI Navigators uses carefully staged steps to extract information from a:
- Comprehensive, multi-indexed knowledge model that
- Combines structured data with unstructured data (e.g., both databases and documents) from
- Curated, verified sources.
The result? Our AI Navigators tell:
The truth.
Dedoctive Navigators obtain answers using specialist multi-step workflows created by human experts. Each part of an answer includes hyperlinks into expert-verified sources. Links take you directly to the key details, which could be background features of an image or items in a table. Dedoctive then lets you discover related information.
The whole truth.
Dedoctive identifies the deep connections linking information items, even those that seem unrelated. You can then use interactive visuals to analyse arguments and explore their context. This makes hidden knowledge and new opportunities available to you.
And nothing but the truth.
Dedoctive provides only the knowledge most relevant to your question. This gives you better answers and faster performance, for a lower cost. All answers are drawn from verified, reliable sources – and if no answer if available, Dedoctive will say so. Dedoctive does not hallucinate.
