AI is set to revolutionize how we search for information. Microsoft invented ChatGPT, and Google will compete with its own barbecue-flavor search engines.
That’s not all. Amazon has also revealed its own language model, which can be even better than ChatGPT. China is working on Ernie the bot, and Alibaba is also preparing a rival. One of those is Neeva AI.
What is Neeva AI?
Neeva launched in the U.S. in 2021, and in Europe in late 2022, as a private and ad-free search engine. That extends to Neeva AI as an authentic real-time AI.
It uses LLM and search stacks to analyze prompts and display data. It focuses mainly on accuracy and results.
It was founded by co-founders Sridhar Ramaswamy and Vivek Raghunathan, who both worked at Google before starting Neeva.
What can Neeva AI do? How is it different from the competition?
The most significant advantage for Neeva is that it operates on a subscription basis rather than through advertising. The free experience can only provide a limited number of searches and a maximum number of devices per account.
It also differentiates itself in the way it answers questions. It analyses prompts and looks for sources to support the results.
Unlike ChatGPT, Neeva will not answer if it cannot find enough sources to get supported. This is great because this will not allow it to show inaccurate results. It will also quickly answer repeat questions as it catches the previous response.
What are the limitations of Neeva AI?
It is beneficial that it does not display the answer to the question because it cannot find sources, but it also limits its scope. If this happens, it will show a list of websites that are common on search engines.
Neeva does everything to provide accurate results, but it refuses to answer questions because it cannot find enough information. It’s still useful to have incorrect answers or sources mixed up on similar-named queries.
What distinguishes Neeva AI from ChatGPT?
Neeva AI is very different, as it is designed to overcome the limitations of large language models like providing current facts from sources. It accomplishes both by evaluating relevance and reliability based on the page content and links that are provided.
In addition to providing a synthesized answer to the user’s query, it also offers citation cards, which display machine learning of the top search results.
Conclusion
Neeva is an ad-free search engine. Sridhar Ramaswamy, who managed Google’s advertising business until 2018, launched it.
The search engine won’t have any advertisements and is subscription-based. Additionally, it will provide Personalization and stop using data to track users like Google does. The search engine can be connected to personal accounts like Dropbox, Office 365, and even Google.
Neeva wasn’t constructed from scratch. It instead relies on the information and content already available, like from Bing search, Apple maps, etc.
The search engine will be free for the first year, after which a monthly fee of under $10 will apply.
