Understanding AI Concepts
What is Semantic Search?
Traditional Search:
- "marketing budget" only finds pages with those exact words
- Misses relevant information about "advertising spend"
Semantic Search (Solatis):
- Understands meaning not just keywords
- "expenses related to marketing" finds budget docs, cost analyses, ROI studies
- Understands context and relationships
- Gets better as you use it
What are AI Agents?
Think of an AI Agent as an intelligent assistant that:
- Runs automatically based on triggers
- Makes decisions with your rules
- Completes multi-step tasks
- Reports back what it did
Example:
Trigger: Meeting ends
Agent Actions:
1. Transcribe the recording
2. Extract action items
3. Create Jira tickets for each action item
4. Assign to the right people
5. Send summary email to attendeesWhy it matters:
- What took 30 minutes now takes 30 seconds
- Nothing falls through the cracks
- Everyone stays on the same page
- More time for high-value work
