Search intent recognition

Improvement

Search intent recognition

Zive now understands what you need and guides you to the right feature!

So far the input bar on your homepage forwarded you to the Zive Assistant by default, but this is not always what you need.

With the intent recognition, Zive now understands whether you

  • are looking for an explicit answer or reply from the Zive Assistant or
  • a list of relevant results from the Zive Search that you want to explore.

Note: The behavior only applies when submitting your input from the homepage.

Glossary
Nov 12, 2024

Glossary

Every company has specific terms, abbreviations or nicknames used internally. The challenge with that: Often they are not generally valid and therefore not understood by AI, causing either wrong interpretation or effort describing what you mean.

These times are over with the Glossary, enabling Zive to understand your company-specific language!

Moderators can define the meaning of specific terms in the Glossary to have it considered by the Zive Assistant in any future conversations.
