Calling this "Blockchain" sounds like buzzword bingo to me. The actual API documentation only mentions blockchain once in the marketing blurb at the top, and the most substantial justification of their use of the term on that website is at the very bottom of the FAQ:

> We apply decentralized architecture to train and test our artificial intelligence model. Using blockchain technology helps us to collect more accurate data for training. We used blockchain protocols to validate data label quality, ensuring the most accurate datasets possible.

Which is generic to the point of meaningless.

How about: less marketing bullshit and more live demos and meaningful comparisons to the many competitors in this space. I'm interested in these sorts of NLP services, but your website provides 0 reason for me to even consider you.


Hi! Thanks for your feedback.

> Calling this "Blockchain" sounds like buzzword bingo to me.

First of all, our main technology is multilingual natural language processing, but not blockchain. But we use blockchain protocols to create training collections in the same way as many similar projects like DBrain do.

> more live demos and meaningful comparisons to the many competitors in this space.

1. We use our chatbot as the smart demo of all our technologies. 2. Non of our competitors are working properly. 3. Non of them supporting this amount of languages we do (such as Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and etc.). 4. Non of them having features we have (multilingual summarization, audio summarization, news aggregation and etc.)

Besides, we have a lot of advantages that make us really unique and different from our competitors:

- summarization feature. Our summarization and multi-language (100+ languages) algorithm can extract and structure the most important information from text, images and even audio files.

- news sentiment analysis. Our sentiment analysis models are specially trained and optimized for the effective analysis of news articles, while most of our competitors are focused on the analysis of user reviews. Sentiment analysis method supports English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian languages.

- news aggregation. Thousands of news sources has been indexed and analyzed by our custom artificial intelligence modules to give the perfect search accuracy in natural language mode.

- set of web scraping tools. Using our services, you can not only analyze your custom dataset, but also collect your own collection from unstructured sources: extract clean article text and other data from news articles, extract lists of reviews/comments from forums and etc.

- image processing. In addition to analyzing the texts, we also offer image recognition and face detection functions. If you plan to expand your document analysis system with image processing capabilities, you don’t need to find another service provider, as we have both of these components (text analysis & image processing).

Best regards, Summarizebot team
