Kngine Aims To Build A Natural Language-Driven App That Can Answer Any Question
Kngine (pronounced kin-gin, short for knowledge engine) is one of those startups with a goal that's both straightforward and impressively ambitious it wants to build an app that can answer any question. In fact, when you open the app, it prompts you to "ask me anything."When I watched the promotional video (embedded below), the first thing I thought of was Apple's Siri. And while Kngine co-founder and CEO Haymad ElFadeel doesn't shy away from the Siri comparison, he also said Kngine has a slightly different goal. One of Siri's big selling points is allowing you to access a lot of the iPhone's functions through voice, so when your questions are more fact- then task-based (i.e., Kngine's strong point) it relies on Wolfram Alpha.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/K5F2BkjlEN8/
