MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Sept. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Aryn released a new open source conversational search stack for unstructured enterprise data such as documents, presentations, and internal websites. This stack makes it easy for developers to build applications such as question-answering over knowledge bases, chatbots for customer support or documentation, and research and discovery platforms across internal datasets. With conversational search, users can ask natural language questions on large datasets, get high-quality answers, and submit follow-up questions in the context of the interaction. Aryn's stack is an integrated one-stop shop from data ingestion to conversational APIs, enabling developers to easily build conversational search applications and deploy them to production in days instead of months. It includes OpenSearch, a popular enterprise-grade search engine used by tens of thousands of developers. Aryn adds conversational capabilities to OpenSearch that use generative AI to capture query semantics and synthesize responses from the most relevant sections of the dataset. These generative AI models need high quality data to produce high quality answers. To enable this, Aryn released Sycamore, a new scalable semantic data preparation system purpose-built for search. As part of the stack, Sycamore uses generative AI to clean, enrich, and capture the meaning of data to enable high quality answers. Aryn's conversational search stack is 100% open source (Apache License v2.0), which gives developers the freedom to customize and build without "vendor lock-in."

Key Points: 
  • Aryn's new open source, end-to-end conversational search stack makes it easy for developers to build conversational search applications on enterprise data using generative AI, OpenSearch, and semantic data preparation.
