Deepset NLP
Deepset’s Haystack toolkit offers developers ways to build APIs for enterprise search engines that can understand and respond to imprecise wording and specific questions by sorting through connected databases and documents, or summarizing them as needed.

The tools are used for purposes like helping engineers find the right technical documentation and assessing business financial outlooks.

Enterprises are looking for full-stack NLP services and frameworks that allow them to build rapidly, reliably, and integrate with existing business applications,” Deepset CEO Milos Rusic said. “At Deepset, we’re building the missing piece between data and software applications — allowing end users to access, write and even create data just with the power of language. Deepset is helping machines understand language better, and we’re doing this for each and every software tool.”
