We are today announcing Xceed Smart AI Search capability in Xceed Analytics, which brings the next generation AI search capability to Xceed Analytics - A Comprehensive Unified Data and AI Platform for the enterprise. By Launching this capability, we are delivering one more milestone on our promise of bringing Xceed Analytics as a unique Intelligent end-to-end Data and AI Platform.

Amidst all the hype around LLMs and its applications in enterprise, At Cynepia we are bringing the power AI to Xceed Analytics in many ways. A couple weeks back we announced Xceed AI Assistant, A comprehensive AI assistant across your data use cases. Today I am pleased to announce advance AI search, which combines vector search (using powerful opensource embedding model) with full-text search to significantly improve search relavance. This coupled with unified control plane ensures that you can access all your data and model assets instantly. Xceed AI Search allows users to instantly discover and search across all your data estate including data connectors, datasets in data catalog, model registry, transformation workflows, SQL models and dashboards.

Data users can now discover all your data assets from an enhanced application search interface instantly and save time finding things. For example. A Data Scientist/ML Engineer trying to build a new model and wants to find out if there are existing tables or feature tables that may be relavant for his/her requirement, Xceed AI Search is the place to start. He/She can quickly get to the tables/datasets in catalog or existing feature tables in catalog. Likewise a Business User who is searching for relavant dashboards linked to a given data assets can again hope to Xceed Search and find the relevant tables/dashboards using a full text semantic search capability.

About Vector Search with Full Text Search​

Vector search technology uses Large Language Models to perform semantic retriveal of knowledge thereby significantly improving the relevance of search results for an end user. This feature is useful when you are interested in results based on the meaning and context of the search text. It leverages natural language processing and artificial intelligence to interpret the nuances of language and retrieve results that match the user's intent. This capability goes far beyond traditional keyword-based searches, enabling users to discover relevant information even when they don't have precise search terms in mind. This allows users to describe what they are looking for in natural language with a near approximate meaning and yet find the relavant data. Often results from vector search are not optimal, because of various terms which are specific to a domain. Xceed AI Search capability brings in the benefit of both vector search and full text search together, ensuring most relavant results are sent back to the user.

Problem that a Comphrehensive DAta & AI Platform addresses​

Emergence of Machine Learning and AI, along side fast pace of digital and explosive growth of data that enterprises are experiencing has made them realize that an effective approach to managing and harnessing the power of data and AI can create significant competitive advantage. Landscape for data and AI has been constantly evolving over the past decade to address the challenge and oppurtunity of managing and harnessing this data that enterprises are inundiated with. Modernizing the data and AI platform has been a constant through out the past decade.

The fragmented toolchain and siloed data within enterprises are formidable barriers that hinder the full harnessing of their data assets. When various departments and teams rely on disparate tools and systems that don't communicate effectively, it leads to inefficiencies, duplicated efforts, and a lack of a unified view of the data. Siloed data exacerbates this problem by isolating valuable information within these disparate systems, preventing cross-functional collaboration and inhibiting data-driven decision-making. The result is a missed opportunity for enterprises to extract valuable insights, achieve operational excellence, and remain agile in an increasingly data-driven world.

A Comprehensive Data & AI Platform helps breaking down these silos and streamlining the toolchain is essential for organizations to unlock the true potential of their data assets and drive innovation.
