Problem the AI is intended to solve

Replace manual search of a database/Excel file with qualitative data with a "semantic search" (think of it like a Google search for your Excel file's qualitative data).

Expected benefits

Reduced response times to leadership questions on database content; increased time spent on human analysis instead of searching for data; identifying overlapping/duplicative data; more accurate queries of qualitative data.

System outputs

Query responses, semantic similarity analysis
