What is Watson? Watson is an information access assistant that automatically retrieves useful information in the context of an ongoing task. Watson integrates with existing applications in order to gain access to documents users are manipulating. The system analyzes the user’s active document in the application in which it is being manipulated in order to compute a representation of her current work context.

Representation is then form queries to multiple online information repositories. Then system collects the results of the queries, sorts and filters them, and presents them to the user in a separate window. Essentially Watson provides users with an awareness of online resources that may be useful in the context of current task.

With the use of Watson no need to go to search box. Watson understands the context of what you are working on. And will automatically find relevant results for you in real time. Watson allows its users to engage in a context aware conversation about the information it accesses on behalf of the user. Users can select regions of text within the current document on which they would like the system to focus.

Watson understands the context of what you are doing, finds relevant information and automatically brings it to you in a flexible sidebar. You don’t have to leave what you are doing to go search somewhere else. Because Intellext think your technology should serve you, and not the other way around.

Watson Architecture

Application adapters interface with existing applications to extract the content of the user’s current document. Watson’s context analyzers then perform a statistical analysis of the document the user is currently manipulating in the context of how it is being presented in the user’s application. Its query producers formulate queries to information retrieval systems that retrieve related documents. These queries are sent to a variety of information sources, each accessed via an information adapter. The results are returned, analyzed further, and presented to the user.

Watson Searches Web search engines, News sites, Blogs, Shopping sites Desktop search applications(MSN,Yahoo!, Google, x1, paperPort ) Subscription services (forrester, Gartner, IDC,etc.) Enterprise information systems (Microsoft SharePoint sites,etc) Wherever else you tell it to look!

Watson is smart, but has no memory. Your privacy is extremely important to Intellext. Watson neither stores nor transmits personal information. Intellext don’t track the links you click, or the pages you view, so information about what you are looking at never comes back to Intellext.
