What it does
Quivr is an engine that takes in a continuous stream of content, makes it searchable quickly, and lets you follow a topic over time with alerts. AI features such as "meaning-based" search are added in the background after the text is stored.
Its makers focus on reliability: content is never silently lost, history is kept rather than overwritten, and search results are re-checked before they're shown. Formats, AI models and business rules are added through plug-ins.
Its makers say it is at an early evaluation stage and should not be used in production yet.
Who it's for
Developers building search and monitoring systems over large amounts of incoming content.
