Findsight

Findsight AI is a search engine specifically designed to explore and compare core ideas from thousands of non-fiction works. This platform caters to the needs of individuals seeking to understand different perspectives on a particular topic from multiple sources. Its unique function is its ability to perform syntopical reading, enabling users to discover and compare claims from various authors and works.

Findsight AI operates by enabling users to explore non-fiction content based on claims, which are the key points made by different sources. Users enter their search criteria and can apply various filters to refine the results. Available filters include BASIC filters like MENTION and REFERENCES, and AI-powered filters such as STATE and ANSWER. Claims identified by these filters can then be compared and explored further to create a more personalized learning journey.

The main features of Findsight AI include various search filters including MENTION, REFERENCES, DISCUSS, STATE, and ANSWER. It offers syntopical reading, which lets users discover and compare claims from different sources. Users can refine their search results based on literal text or named entities using the MENTION and REFERENCES filters respectively, target specific tags linked to a source through the DISCUSS filter, or use the advanced AI-powered STATE and ANSWER filters to search for related claims useful for citations or that answer a specific question.

The MENTION filter in Findsight AI works similarly to a typical Google search, finding sources based on literal text input by the user. While it serves as a good starting point, it may lack precision and broadens the range of results. For example, searching for 'running' could yield results not only in relation to the sport but also about running a business or state-run systems.

In Findsight AI, the REFERENCES filter refines search results by suggesting named entities or concepts referenced across sources that can be used to further refine results. Users can type a term and select suggestions that appear. Some suggestions link to Wikipedia, while others are named entities. For instance, typing 'running' could produce 'Skill running' as a named entity or 'Run (baseball)' as a linked entity with a Wikipedia icon.
