Great article by Pete about how most AI applications fall short on understanding user preferences! We run into this constantly at @uplimit_ when companies have wildly different preferences on what they want their courses to look or sound like.

At @neeva, we've been revolutionizing search w/ an ad free, privacy-first model

But we’ve also been quietly upgrading the experience entirely w/cutting edge AI & LLMs.

ChatGPT cannot give you real time data or fact verification. In our upcoming upgrades, @neeva can

@rajhans_samdani @yoavgo Another variable to consider is the recall required from the similarity search system. Clustering and/or quantization can quickly drive this price down at the cost of quality.

heyyyy (with the intention of letting you know if you're searching for genuine content, we just launched #Onebox, which allows our users to easily preview and browse entire @Reddit threads without leaving #Neeva)

1/ Google will do just about anything to maintain its monopoly power

Fear-inducing pop-ups with misleading designs to trick users into going back to Google search ✅

What’s a competing search engine to do? The only thing we can…Design and innovate our way out of it! 🧵

[Neeva @Neeva]

Our newest feature (quicklinks) adds content from community forums like @Reddit directly to search results.

Curious to learn how we do it/rethinking search in a Reddit-forward way?

head over to an AMA with two of our engineering leads happening now: https://t.co/oDDb36XUxd

[Neeva @Neeva]

1/ Sometimes the most valuable information comes from real people having discussions on popular forums, with honest opinions. 🗣️

Want Reddit in your search results? Neeva’s got you covered Learn more ⬇️

[Neeva @Neeva]

(1/) So you've heard, Google search is dying. And (adding) @Reddit (to any search query) is the new Black.

✅ Better results come from real discussions with honest opinions found on community forums.

We are using the zeitgeist on forums to make your search results better 🧵

1/ Building a search index requires processing lots of documents.

Systems like @ApacheSpark are great, but require love and attention to detail at scale.

You have to be willing to open black boxes to run the engines smoothly.

A few Learnings 🧵

[Neeva @Neeva]

(1/) There’s a lot of talk about how bad Google has become. Ads out of control. SEO run amok.

So how does legacy Google compare to a modern search engine like Neeva?

We worked with @HelloSurgeAI on a scaled unbiased eval. The results will surprise you. Here’s what we found 🧵

[Neeva @Neeva]

(1/) Search engines have the simplest user interface of any product out there - no instructions, just a blank text box.

We make the promise that, no matter what you type in, we’ll show you the best content.

But how exactly do we deliver on that promise? 🧵

[Neeva @Neeva]

(1/) Building @Neeva search index means crawling and parsing billions of web pages 🤯

Any system that operates at the scale of billions of pages breaks all the time.

Building a reliable large-scale system over unreliable behavior is always an adventure and few exist.

[Neeva @Neeva]

(1/) At @Neeva, we've historically been shy about talking about our web search tech.

Going forward, we are experimenting with developing our search stack in the open.

Big Tech’s monopoly power is a threat to consumer choice, human rights, democracy, and the future of the internet.

Congress has a historic opportunity to address these problems. Tell your legislators to support the tech antitrust bills.
