KnowledgeSense Unveils Enhanced AI Search Functionality in ChatSense Notebooks

KnowledgeSense, based in Minato City, Tokyo, led by CEO Atsushi Kadowaki, has announced a significant upgrade to its corporate-focused generative AI agent, ChatSense. Starting today, users can leverage the capability of AI to search not only through text but also through images and charts embedded in PDF, Word, and PowerPoint documents within the Notebook function.

The Notebook AI service is designed to take internal documents as sources, enabling users to ask AI questions based on those documents. Until now, the AI was limited to text data recovery, but the latest enhancement includes visual contents such as images and charts as part of the search criteria. This improvement addresses feedback from users who expressed the need for AI to also retrieve insights from visual materials to enhance their queries.

Background of the Release

With the rise of generative AI technologies like ChatGPT, many enterprises are adopting solutions to improve service quality and efficiency. ChatSense has been a hit among numerous businesses, including over 500 large firms, notably prime-listed companies in Japan, due to its secure environment and capabilities for additional training on proprietary data.

The Notebook AI experience allows users to not only engage in Q&A with AI but also to summarize documents, generate briefing reports, and even create slide presentations, providing a comprehensive workflow. However, many business-related materials contain valuable data in graphical formats such as flowcharts, screenshots, and scanned PDFs. Companies have frequently requested a solution that enables AI to comprehend and utilize these formats in its responses.

To meet this demand, KnowledgeSense has now made it possible for images and charts from PDF, Word, and PowerPoint files to be included in the Notebook AI search scope. This transformative feature ensures that critical details often overlooked in standard AI searches—like visual statistics or flow representations—are now fully integrated into business operations and customer interactions.

Key Features of the Updated Notebook AI

1. Inclusion of Visual Content in Searches: The new functionality allows AI searches to extend beyond text, incorporating images and charts from added documents. This opens pathways for more comprehensive AI responses that reference visual data.
2. Handling Various Formats: The Notebook AI now utilizes data from screenshots, scanned materials, and visuals typically missed by traditional AI searches. This capability enriches responses with operational data that hasn't previously been converted into text.
3. Broadened usage for Operational and Sales Materials: Manuals and sales documents that prioritize visuals can now effectively engage with Notebook AI, expanding the practical scope of internal materials at an operational level.
