AI > Keywords
Keyword searches do not work well because they search for keywords rather than ideas (which can be expressed with many different words). As a result, keyword searches omit many relevant patents and include many irrelevant patents.
In contrast, our advanced AI understands complete ideas and then carefully analyzes the prior art to find those ideas even when they are written in different ways. The result is a far more thorough search followed by a much more focused list of results.
Keyword searches do not understand patents. (They do not understand what they read.) In contrast, our advanced AI understands patents, so it knows which patents include similar concepts and can even explain why specific patents are relevant.
