A New Approach

You need help creating the big picture from sources you can trust. Connecting Machines helps professionals find context in trusted sources. Connecting Machines is the research assistant you've always wanted - no training required.

drag

Find a file that you are working on. Drag the file to the Connecting Machines website. Or copy text from a webpage or document to highlight just a part of the file.

drop

Drop the file (or text) onto the Connecting Machines logo. The file will be fingerprinted, which is then compared to millions of other fingerprints for articles, research, and information from trusted source.

discover

Contextually relevant reports, newspaper articles, or files from your vault, are displayed, while multiple filters let you slice and dice as you go deeper into the results.

How it Works

Connecting Machines reads thousands of documents, articles, and reports each day, creating a conceptual fingerprint of each. More than just a collection of keywords, a fingerprint understands the context of a document or article. When you share one of your documents with the system, a new fingerprint is created. This fingerprint is compared to the millions of existing ones in order to rapidly deliver the context you need.

Who Uses It

Strategy Consultant

Mark needs his team to prepare for a client presentation fast. The client provided a starting document, which laid the foundation. Now Mark needs the latest business thinking and insights to fill in the team's gaps.

Financial Analyst

Steve started following a new company. He is on a tight deadline but wants to make sure his report is very comprehensive. To help the report stand out he needs to synthesize what the press and business journals are saying.

Business Developer Manager

Isabel just received a project bid opportunity from a major channel partner for her company. Her group needs to show they know the leading issues and how they've changed. Getting the right background context is critical.

Branding Specialist

Maya is evaluating a new niche market. She wants a pulse on the emerging trends and consumer needs, and her team has already reviewed the usual sources. Where should they look next to make sure nothing is missed?

Research Manager

Doug is responsible for identifying and developing next generation products, and his current project is in the fuzzy stage of concept development. Where can he get a fast introduction to the market zeitgeist or current views?
