Media companies like Forbes are constantly seeking innovative solutions to manage their vast archives and streamline content production. As a global leader in business media, Forbes recognized the importance of staying ahead by leveraging the power of artificial intelligence. This is where Novus stepped in with its advanced Dot Operations a dynamic, AI-native tool designed to transform how companies utilize their unique data and create seamless workflows.
Challenges in Managing Vast Content Archives
With decades of articles, interviews, and business reports in their archives, Forbes was facing the complex task of managing and accessing this massive trove of information efficiently. Journalists and researchers needed a way to sift through historical data quickly without compromising the accuracy or relevance of the information retrieved. Whether it was for writing retrospectives, preparing for upcoming interviews, or generating reports, accessing and utilizing archived material had become a time-consuming challenge.
"Forbes Türkiye, in its 15 years of publication, has featured leading figures from Turkey’s business and economic world, along with comprehensive research. We have a large archive of monthly issues spanning many years, and we constantly refer back to this archive while producing new content. When a company resurfaces in the news, we need to access our previous coverage of it. Sometimes, it takes hours to find an old article in our printed magazines and PDF archives." – Forbes Türkiye
Forbes sought a solution that would not only speed up the process but also ensure that the content pulled from their archives was comprehensive, accurate, and free from the "hallucination" errors that can occur with traditional AI systems.
A Collaborative Solution: Introducing Novus Enterprise AI
In response to these challenges, Forbes turned to Novus to integrate Dot Operations into their content management process. Enterprise AI offers a host of features tailored to Forbes’ requirements, including multi-language support and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models, which enable more structured, relevant, and prioritized responses. This cutting-edge tool, developed with flexibility in mind, is designed to adapt to any organization’s specific data needs.
The core value of Dot Operations lies in its ability to provide targeted assistance by focusing solely on company archives. For Forbes, this meant creating an AI that allowed journalists to interact with the vast wealth of stored content without needing to manually dig through old files. With Dot Operations, reporters can chat directly with the entire Forbes archive, retrieving the most relevant information about a person, event, or trend within seconds.
In essence, it’s a virtual assistant, allowing reporters to have seamless conversations with decades of archived material at their fingertips.
