Ida 24.03: Introducing Ida Knowledge: Smarter, Safer, and More Personalized AI

We’re thrilled to announce a groundbreaking update to Ida that will redefine your AI experience. With the new Ida Knowledge System and significant improvements to Ida’s Multi-level AI, we’ve made Ida smarter, more secure, and more personalized than ever before.

Unveiling the New Ida Knowledge System

Imagine an AI that understands all your information automatically and crafts answers using Generative AI. Well, imagine no more! The new Ida Knowledge System does just that.

Ida Knowledge now seamlessly digests all your information sources, be it documents, web pages, or structured data, and uses Generative AI to provide accurate and relevant answers with guard rails. No more manual data entry or tedious configurations; Ida takes care of it all.

Enhanced Security with Pluggable Models

We understand that data security is paramount. That’s why Ida Knowledge leverages pluggable models, including dedicated Large Language Models (LLMs), to ensure premier-level data security. You get the flexibility of choosing models that best fit your security requirements or use our default providers.

Personalized Responses with Role and Persona Awareness

Ida Knowledge understands roles and personas, ensuring that users receive information tailored to their needs—and nothing they’re not supposed to see. Whether you’re an employee, a student, or a guest user, Ida provides personalized assistance while maintaining strict access controls.

Elevating AI Interactions with Multi-level AI Improvements
