Finding answers with Watson Discovery

The Watson Discovery service offers an AI-powered search engine that you can use to extract answers from complex business documents.

Service This service is not available by default. An administrator must install this service on the IBM® Cloud Pak for Data platform, and you must be given access to the service. To determine whether the service is installed, open the Services catalog and check whether the service is enabled.

With Watson Discovery, you can visually train AI for deep understanding of your content, including tables and images, to help you find business value that is hidden in your enterprise. Use natural language or structured queries to find relevant answers and surface insights, and build AI-enhanced business processes anywhere by using powerful API interfaces.
