How does Nuclia works?

Nuclia out-of-the-box indexing process:

Nuclia extracts all the content from your files, that means, in short that:

• Nuclia extracts and indexes the full text of any files. If its a video or an audio it runs an automatic speech to text process. It also OCRs the images in videos.
• Besides the full text, Nuclia indexes every single paragraph from files.
• Once the paragraphs are generated, Nuclia, out-of-the-box, detects the key insights of every paragraph. This process is also called Named Entity Recognition. That means that Nuclia detects automatically, as an example, the name of people, dates, organisations, locations, etc..
• Once all the paragraphs are indexed, all text gets vectorized, providing a unique AI search on top of files. The vectorization is also the base of the generated answers you can perform with Nuclia.

• What is the resource view pages?
• What are insights? -> Add your own insights
• Annotate insights
• What are labels?
  
• How to train your models
• What is training?
• Label search intent training
• Automatic resource label training
• Paragraphs label training
• Named entites recognition training
• What can you train?
• What is KB (Knowledge box)?
• What is a widget?

The widget is a very fast way to add a Nuclia AI search to any application. It does not require technical skills an its no-code. The widget generates a “search box” where you can perform questions and searches.

The widget can be enriched with some functionalities:
