AskWiki

AskWiki is a pioneering technology platform launched in 2007 by Expert System in partnership with AskMeNow and the Wikimedia Foundation. It leverages natural language processing (NLP) combined with Wikipedia's extensive knowledge base to offer users a seamless way to query information. Unlike traditional keyword searches, AskWiki allows users to ask questions in natural language and receive direct answers, enhancing the user experience by reducing the need to sift through multiple articles. The platform is versatile, accessible through web interfaces, mobile apps, and programming libraries for Ruby and Python, making it a flexible tool for both casual users and developers.

The system's ability to understand and process natural language questions, support multiple languages, and improve accuracy over time through user feedback makes it a valuable resource for quick information retrieval. AskWiki's multi-faceted access methods ensure that users can obtain information efficiently, whether through a web browser, mobile device, or integrated within their own applications.
