AI-Enhanced Knowledge Access

Harnessing the Power of Language Models

AI is transforming how companies and their staff access their information. With Large Language Models (LLMs), employees can not only search their knowledge databases more efficiently, but also get customised answers to their queries based on specific datasets.

At Sopra Steria, we believe that LLMs are a game-changing technology that will reshape both our internal processes and our customer relations.

 

Company-specific conversational agents

Companies are increasingly demanding bespoke conversational agents, like ChatGPT, but tailored to individual enterprises or specialised domains. By creating a company-specific source dataset, companies can ensure their data security and increase the quality of responses offered, as they rely on their propriatory insight and service offering.

It is no longer just about finding the right documents or web pages. It is about precisely defining the question in context, and providing complete, straightforward answers. This makes searching faster, simpler and much more user-friendly.

How can Advanced Search help companies?

  • Customer Support Automation: LLM-integrated AI chatbots provide round-the-clock support, reducing costs and enhancing customer satisfaction.
  • Improved Search Relevance: By understanding user queries in depth, LLMs deliver more relevant search results, leading to a superior user experience.
  • Enhanced User Engagement: Accurate search results drive higher user engagement, frequent site visits, and potential revenue growth.
  • Efficient Knowledge Retrieval: LLM-based search tools empower employees to swiftly locate internal resources, boosting organisational productivity.
  • Personalisation: Analysing user behavior enables LLMs to deliver tailored search results, enhancing user experience and conversion rates.
  • Multilingual Support: LLMs support multiple languages, enabling businesses to cater to a global audience seamlessly.
  • Chatbots and Assistants: LLM-powered chatbots offer instant, enhanced customer interactions, optimising support costs and satisfaction.
  • Data Analysis: LLMs extract valuable insights from textual data, guiding business strategies and decisions.
