How is this like, or better than Evi, which has origins in 2007 and is now part of Alexa according to wikipedia? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evi_(software)

  Good question! We mentioned this in another comment, but a lot of the comments on this thread are about our Cortex Knowledge Graph API, but we actually think of the Sapien Language Engine API as our main product. We think being able to understand the semantic meaning behind language through our graph of relationships and entities in a sentence are going to be critical in building more robust conversational interfaces. So companies we are talking to now include companies who want to use it for natural language search or messaging apps. Of course, we think the knowledge graph is useful as well in democratizing the technology since WolframAlpha is absurdly expensive ($25-50 CPM) and the Google KnowledgeGraph API is limited to 100,000 queries a day with no option to pay for more and doesn't handle natural language question answering.

    Got it. So really, its a piece of what Evi did, but you are making that a service. It will be interesting to see how other people apply this without competing with Google, Amazon, or Apple directly.

      Yes, exactly, we think there are a range of applications that will need this kind of common sense information on-hand in the not too distant future.
