An AI search copilot is not just another “search engine”.
Search copilots utilize prompt engineering to understand user queries more effectively. This involves refining and optimizing search queries to improve the accuracy of results and the generative answers.
2. Personalization
Copilots leverage AI to personalize search results based on the user’s criteria, behavior, and interactions. This enhances the relevance of the information presented to the user.
3. Multifunctionality
Search copilots integrate with various applications and sources of data from the organization to provide information retrieval, question answering, or guiding users through complex tasks, such writing summarization or basic reports.
4. Integration with workflows
In an enterprise environment, a search copilot might integrate seamlessly with existing workflows and applications, providing quick access to relevant information within the context of the user’s tasks.
5. Feedback mechanisms
AI Search copilots must include mechanisms for user feedback. This could involve allowing users to rate the relevance of search results, correct inaccuracies, or provide additional information to improve the system over time.
6. Support for specialized tasks
Depending on the domain or industry, AI search copilots can be tailored to support specialized tasks. For example, in data analysis, a search copilot could assist with exploring datasets and generating insights.
