FrancoisCharron.com drops Google and adopts Guidyu
Montreal, October 25th, 2010 - François Charron, columnist and TV host specializing in technology and new media has turned to Guidyu to empower the search experience of his Website, francoischarron.com.
The columnist, known for his appearances on TVA’s Salut-Bonjour, has equipped his site with the most powerful semantic search engine on the market: Guidyu, a Quebec-Swiss product. Francoischarron.com sought to help its users to quickly find what they are looking for among hundreds of thousands of pages of content.
“I tried a number of search solutions, including Google. Sadly, none of them offered a true vertical, intelligent search,” said Charron. “Guidyu adjusts dynamically and learns from each user’s interaction in real time. Internet users are finally going to be able to find things they wouldn’t be able to find with other solutions.”
Benoit L’Archevêque, founder and president of Guidyu, remembers his first conversation with Charron. “He was desperate for an intelligent search engine capable of finding its way around a data base containing an industrial quantity of data. I explained to him that with Guidyu it was no longer necessary to gear up for a job that would involve months of data restructuring; Guidyu does it dynamically and improves day by day, unlike all the other systems, which need intensive manual maintenance to improve.”
“Like all big sites, our content is very diversified. When an Internet user looked for the word virus, they would be offered articles on computer viruses along with funny videos of kids with the flu. With Guidyu, everything’s automatically ranked by category and type of content.”
Adds Charron: “I’m proud to be using Quebec technology that rivals the Googles of this world.”
A revolution in the world of search engines
Guidyu is the first intelligent exploration and interaction system to work on an innovative Web 3.0 semantic recognition platform. The technology uses artificial intelligence to learn and improve with each user’s interaction.
Guidyu doesn’t just recognize chains of characters; it understands concepts. It directs and personalizes customer interactions in real time, both online and on mobile platforms. It can even merge communications between Website users and customer service and support representatives.
There will no longer be a need to reconfigure databases because Guidyu performs with structured and non-structured databases alike, learns new words, and associates them with a synonym table that grows with every interaction.
