Traditional Enterprise Search is Dead: The Move From Static Search to Conversational AI

For years, employees have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data streaming in from every direction, compounded by challenges such as lost knowledge when team members leave, fragmented information, and navigating lengthy documentation. The real hurdle, however, isn't the amount of information, but rather the ability to quickly discern meaningful insights from it.

Traditional enterprise search solutions have promised to tackle this issue, but frankly, they don’t. This is exactly why Yurts is spearheading a shift, and has created a platform that leverages artificial intelligence (AI) to make enterprise search truly conversational and intuitive. Thanks to this forward-thinking approach, companies can transform immense amounts of information into actionable insights.

The Pitfalls of Traditional Enterprise Search

Over the past decade, businesses have heavily invested in enterprise search solutions like Algolia or Elastic, hoping to streamline information access and boost productivity. Yet, these tools often fail to meet expectations.

Take Elastic, for example. While it’s an excellent piece of infrastructure, those who’ve used it in traditional search applications know that achieving real results requires more than just installing it and turning it on. You need to make key decisions about how to index your data, which stemming approach to use, and more. After that, the process involves tweaking values to guide the search ranking system. Though these decisions seem straightforward, they can significantly affect the outcome—and require ongoing maintenance.

Even when properly configured, traditional enterprise search solutions are hampered by siloed data sources, complex query languages, rigid interfaces, and their reliance on exact keyword matches. Employees waste valuable time filtering through irrelevant results or navigating multiple systems to piece together the information they need.

The Power of Conversational AI

Conversational AI is transforming the way we interact with technology, offering a more intuitive, human-like interface between users and complex systems. 

By leveraging natural language processing, machine learning, and advanced algorithms, Conversational AI enables users to ask questions, get context-aware answers, and uncover insights without the need for technical expertise or complex queries. This advancement allows businesses to quickly extract actionable information from vast data sets, enhancing decision-making, efficiency, and overall user experience.

Transforming the Enterprise Search Experience

Imagine a world where every employee has a personal AI Assistant that understands their needs and provides tailored insights at their fingertips.

Engineering teams can quickly document and access solutions, preventing knowledge loss when employees leave. Operations teams can easily retrieve information scattered across disparate systems. And technical teams can efficiently navigate extensive manuals and reports, locating details swiftly and reducing search time.

Yurts is making this future a reality. By seamlessly integrating with existing enterprise systems and data sources, Yurts creates a unified view of your organization's knowledge. Say goodbye to silos and information gaps—Yurts offers a single source of truth, empowering employees to make better decisions faster. 

Yurts' chat experience enhances enterprise search by integrating both internal databases and external sources like the internet. Users can easily toggle between these sources within a streamlined interface, with visual cues clearly differentiating attributions. Direct AI chat and default internal source chatting make enterprise search intuitive and efficient. This flexibility and clarity align with the growing need for dynamic, reliable search solutions in modern businesses.

Deploying Conversational AI

Like traditional enterprise search, setting up a prototype of conversational AI is relatively straightforward. However, deploying it in a way that delivers the flexibility, performance, ease of use, and seamless integration employees need is much harder.

Thankfully, Yurts has done the heavy lifting, offering a complete, out-of-the-box conversational AI platform. While traditional enterprise search solutions have struggled to keep up with the evolving needs of modern businesses, Yurts delivers a solution that’s ready to meet those demands.
