IBM unveils AI-powered Content Assistant to rapidly find information buried within documents

When critical information is hard to find, valuable time is wasted searching for answers and important decisions are delayed. These issues can have serious consequences.  It's time to revolutionize how you manage, search and discover information.

We are pleased to announce the launch of IBM Content Assistant, a powerful set of capabilities that uses generative AI to help our clients quickly find information that would otherwise be buried within their documents. It provides built-in traceability and transparency, making it easy to see which documents and excerpts were used to provide the information. With IBM Content Assistant, answers and summaries are at your fingertips, freeing up valuable time.

We've seen a tremendous amount of excitement and interest from our clients during the preview, and we're now ready to unveil it for all.

1. Boost Productivity with Quick Access to Key Information: IBM Content Assistant helps you find the information you need in seconds. Simply ask a question about the content of your business documents, and it will provide the answer. You can easily control the scope of your question by selecting a folder or asking a question against a set of documents returned in a search. If you're unsure which documents have the information you need, you can ask a question against the entire content repository and receive an answer based on the documents you have access to.
2. Streamline Your Document Review Process: Ditch the tedious task of manually reviewing documents. With IBM Content Assistant, you can quickly get to the point with concise, tailored summaries that provide instant context, saving you time and effort. If needed, you can generate a summary derived from multiple documents.
3. Make Confident Decisions with Full Traceability and Transparency: IBM Content Assistant is designed to be transparent and secure. You can easily inspect which documents were used to generate answers, and even which excerpts within those documents were used. We also provide an audit trail, allowing administrators to remain vigilant for insider threats.
4. Enterprise-Grade Governance and Security of Your Data: Our solution meets the most stringent security requirements through robust access controls and retention management, giving you peace of mind when it comes to compliance and governance. Unlike alternative solutions that can result in data leaks by disclosing information within documents that were inadvertently over-shared with others, Content Assistant is built upon our best-of-breed enterprise-grade security and access controls. This means you can confidently deploy it against even the most sensitive content repositories. Drafting a new version of a document that isn’t yet ready for prime time? Don’t worry, Content Assistant will only generate answers from the latest released version of a document, ensuring that your private draft remains private until you’re ready.

1. Transparency you need to lead with confidence

We understand that the information provided is critical to your business. That's why we offer built-in transparency and traceability, enabling you to make fast, informed decisions. With IBM Content Assistant, you can trust the insights you receive and see exactly where they come from.

2. Governance and security you can trust
