| <h2 class="section-title">NLI Applications</h2> |
| <p> |
| Despite being seemingly obvious that NLI (Natural Language Interface) has wide applicability to many applications and |
| software systems there are specific areas where NLI is already used today and has |
| demonstrated its unique capabilities. |
| </p> |

| <div id="search" class="sub-section-title">NLI-Enhanced Search</div> |
| <p class="subhead"> |
| NLI-enhanced search, filter and sort is one area where NLI has been successful |
| for a number of years already. Look at Google Analytics, GMail, JIRA, or many |
| other applications that allow you to search, filter or sort their content with |
| natural language queries. This use case is a perfect application of NLI as it |
| naturally augments the existing UI/UX by replacing often cumbersome and hard-to-use |
| search/filter/sort UX with a simple text box. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| As a matter of fact, all major general purpose search platforms today (i.e. |
| Google, Bing, or Siri) use NLI-enhanced approach to their search queries processing. |
| </p> |
| <div id="chatbots" class="sub-section-title">Chatbots</div> |
| <p> |
| NLI is clearly at the heart of any chatbot implementation. And although most naive |
| implementations of chatbots have failed to gain significant traction - the advancement |
| in NLI technology is allowing modern chatbots to become gradually more sophisticated |
| and outgrow the early "childhood" problems of parasitic dialogues, lack of contextual |
| awareness, inability to comprehend a spoken, free-form language, and primitive rule-based logic. |
| </p> |
| <div id="reporting" class="sub-section-title">Data Reporting</div> |
| <p> |
| Fully deterministic NLI systems like NLPCraft provide critical technology for NLI-based |
| data reporting. Unlike data insights analytics or data exploration, the data reporting |
| typically cannot rely on the probabilistic nature of ML/DL-based approaches as it must |
| provide 100% correctness in all cases. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| NLPCraft employs advanced semantic modelling that provides fully deterministic |
| results and NL comprehension. |

| <div id="data" class="sub-section-title">Ad-Hoc Data Exploration</div> |
| <p> |
| One of the most exciting applications of NLI is an ad-hoc data analytics or |
| data exploration. This is the area where the proper NLI application can bring |
| about a fundamental seismic change to how we explore our data and discover the |
| insights from it. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Today the most data is walled off in the silos of the individual, incompatible |
| data systems making it mostly inaccessible to the all but a few "power" users. |
| Very few can gain access to all the different systems in a typical company, learn all |
| the different ways to analyse the data and master incompatible and drastically different |
| user interfaces. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| The NLI-based approach can democratize access to the sprawling silo-ed data with a |
| single unified UX by allowing users to use the natural language to explore and analyse |
| the data. The natural language is the only UX/UI that everyone already knows, requires no |
| training or learning and is universal regardless of the data source. |
| </p> |
| <div id="device" class="sub-section-title">Device Control</div> |
| <p> |
| With the popularization of consumer technologies like Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, |
| Mercedes MBUX and similar the NLI-based control of various devices and systems |
| becoming a norm. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| While most of these systems today can only understand the |
| rudimentary 2-3 words command the advancements in NLI technology is rapidly leading to |
| more sophisticated interfaces. The enterprise world is starting to catch up and |
| NLI-based systems appear today in various manufacturing, oil and gas, pharma |
| and medical applications. |
