In today's world, the amount of information we encounter on a daily basis is enormous. We create and receive a lot of data: notes, comments, instant messages, documents and much more. However, ideas, thoughts and important knowledge often end up isolated within folders, groups or chats. As a result, this information loses its potential for development and integration with other ideas. In this context, it is critical to understand the difference between traditional keyword search and how Conoted's recommender system works.
Isolation of ideas in traditional systems
- In traditional systems, whether it is folders on your computer, groups in instant messages or comments on social networks, ideas often remain isolated. When you save something in a folder or send a message to a group, this action is recorded only in a certain context. For example, a note about a new idea in a folder on your computer will only be available in that folder and its neighboring subcategories. Messengers have a similar problem — an idea expressed in a chat exists only in the context of that chat and can be difficult to find and use elsewhere.
- Text-based search in such cases, although it helps find information, does so without taking into account the context or connections between data. A keyword finds all occurrences of a word or phrase, but does not take into account how they are related, what project or topic unites them, and who created them. As a result, the user gets disparate pieces of information that are not always easy to connect and use.
How Conoted Works: A Knowledge System Instead of Simple Search
Conoted offers a fundamentally different approach, focusing on creating a knowledge system where ideas are not isolated, but connected to each other in a structured network. The main differences between a regular text-based search and our recommendation system are as follows:
1. Tagging as a basis for connection: In Conoted, each note is automatically or manually tagged, which allows you to classify information by topic. Tags connect ideas not only within a single project or group, but across all of a user’s notes. This means that even if a note was created in one context, it can be easily found and used in another, thanks to the links through tags.
2. Note Relationship Suggestions: Our system analyzes not only the content of notes, but also the links between them. For example, if you create a new note on a topic that has already been discussed before, the system will suggest you to link them. This is not just a keyword search, but a conscious creation of a network of ideas that allows you to understand and develop topics more deeply.
3. User and Contribution Analysis: In Conoted, information is structured not only by content, but also by users. The system takes into account which users know the most about a certain topic, based on their contributions to collective notes and expert opinion. This allows us to recommend you not only information, but also experts who can help develop your idea.
Benefits of the Conoted Knowledge System
Unlike traditional methods of storing and searching information, the Conoted knowledge system allows you to:
- Reduce the silos of ideas: By linking notes and users, information does not get lost or remain locked within a single folder, group or comment. This creates the opportunity for cross-functional use of information.
- Improve search quality: Instead of receiving a list of disparate keyword results, you receive recommendations based on context, relationships and expertise. This significantly improves the quality of search and helps you find the information you need faster.
- Create and develop new projects: The ability to easily link old ideas with new ones allows you to create and develop projects more efficiently. All information and ideas collected during the work process remain accessible and integrated into the overall context.
Conclusion
Conoted offers not just an information storage system, but a full-fledged knowledge system that overcomes the barriers of idea isolation characteristic of traditional approaches. In our system, every piece of information is linked to others, creating a network structure that helps develop ideas, find new experts, and implement projects more efficiently.
