Discover more,
but return far less

Our core technology is Envisional’s patented Discovery Engine. This is an automated search system that can delve into the “deep Internet” and probe the shady worlds of Internet relay chat channels, file-sharing networks, trading sites and secretive online communities.

It uses intuitive, almost human, reasoning to uncover massive amounts of information, but selectively bring back just the hits you really need to know about.

We also have smart “image fingerprinting” technologies for finding logos and pictures, which can be invaluable when it comes to picking out phishing emails from the daily torrent of spam.

Envisional has even created a “sentiment monitoring” system, using ideas like fuzzy
logic and self-organising maps, that finds comments on your company and shrewdly assesses their positive or negative impact on perceptions of your brand.

Automated, intelligent
and cost-effective

To be really useful in business, artificial intelligence technology needs to be a lot smarter than the overhyped AI systems of earlier years. Advances in areas like information retrieval techniques and expert systems have made this possible.

It needs to be automated, so it can actually replace human effort and resources in cost-effective ways.

And it needs to be genuinely intelligent, mimicking human reasoning and judgement without the human errors.

New-generation systems like Envisional’s Discovery Engine have the power and flexibility to carry out searches and monitoring operations people simple cannot undertake.

No human team could use a search engine to hunt for brand infringements, checking suspected abuse against a database of several hundred authorised distributors or affiliates. Only an intelligent system could find thousands of hits that meet your specified criteria, but filter and prioritise them immediately to highlight the ten or twenty that are likely to matter most.

This is advanced, automated artificial intelligence. It is practical technology applied to real business problems, with a clearl and tangible return on investment. And it is already changing the way many blue chip companies approach their key business activities.
