getAbstract Introduces getAbstract AI, a New AI-Based Learning Experience

LUCERNE, Switzerland, January 30, 2024 – Swiss knowledge provider getAbstract unveils “getAbstract AI” for its extensive online library, which includes over 27,000 summaries. getAbstract AI offers an even more efficient method of knowledge transfer, saving time and providing individualized experiences tailored to each user.

getAbstract’s new AI tool allows users to search for knowledge in leadership, personal and professional development, and business more quickly and efficiently within the online library. As a chatbot-like addition to the search function, it offers reliable and curated answers directly and exclusively from summaries written by experts in English, German, and five other languages.

An AI is only as good as the data it is trained on. Since all our summaries are written by professional authors and undergo a rigorous editorial and fact-checking process before publication, the getAbstract library is an ideal database for AI use.

Patrick Brigger, COO and co-founder of getAbstract

“To prevent misinformation from affecting this dataset, the AI operates in a protected and isolated environment,” Patrick Brigger, COO and co-founder of getAbstract adds.

The answers provided by the tool offer a quick thematic overview relevant to the query. At the same time, getAbstract AI also displays the summaries used as sources and suggests follow-up questions. This makes it easier to explore topics more comprehensively.

To apply the newly acquired knowledge in practice, recommended “Actionables” are provided below the answer. These offer a 15-minute overview of a relevant topic and consist of a mix of video, audio, text, and reflection elements. Each learning unit ends with action impulses, turning knowledge into immediate action – further enhancing the learning effect.

“In a time when technologies are rapidly evolving and markets are constantly changing, it’s crucial for companies to remain agile and adaptable. This includes the continuous training of employees,” says Thomas Bergen, CEO and co-founder of getAbstract. “Artificial intelligence is here to stay. With getAbstract AI, we transform our library into an interactive learning experience, providing quick and high-quality answers to nearly all professional questions. This ensures we offer the ideal learning solution for an era marked by up- and reskilling, where quickly applicable knowledge is more important than ever.”

Donald H Taylor, an expert in the Learning & Development (L&D) sector and chair of the Learning Technologies Conference, is also convinced:

getAbstract is actually using AI for what it’s really good at, which is plowing through large amounts of data, but with a high-quality content set. Brilliant.
