subscriber-based site that will automate and manage the creation and discovery, retrieval, and organization of internet-based information. As It Is, Inc., has an office at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York, Baird Research and Technology Park, and additional labs and offices in Buffalo, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maine and Sao Paulo, Brazil.
As It Is, Inc.'s TrueThinker offers people or companies an artificial intelligence-based tool for "knowledge networking". Its knowledge-management, community and organization features allow users to create, growing and share knowledge on any topic:
- AI-based organization: TrueThinker contains patented AI technology (the "AutoGnome") that categorizes the information users save—links, searches, documents, etc. It does this after a "training period" in which it learns about what information the user saved and how s/he organized it. - Communities: People or organizations can create private or public communities of people with the same social, business, research or other interests. There, they can share ideas, resources and information, as well as documents and photos. - KnowledgeBank: Users can store relevant and valued information in the private, secure and searchable TrueThinker KnowledgeBank. They can save documents, images, links, bookmarks, databases and more, organizing the information in any way.
Some ways to use TrueThinker:
- Businesses can offer employees one place to access "institutional wisdom" and experience, data and research, as well as forums for people to collaborate on project development, training and other activities. - Enthusiasts or hobbyists can grow their knowledge on their favorite topic by sharing experiences, tips and techniques, news and other information with anyone who has the same interest. - Interest groups can organize, educate and share ideas locally or globally.
Users can access TrueThinker from any computer. In addition, TrueThinker is a membership service, so there's no advertising or privacy issues. A year-long membership to TrueThinker costs $30, but a free, seven-day trial is available now at www.truethinker.com. TrueThinker also offers a referral program, in which members earn $10 every time they refer someone who purchases a TrueThinker membership using a special invitation code.
