Launch of an AI-supported interactive research platform
In June, Bilendi announced the launch of a new version of Bilendi Discuss, developed in a multi- channel environment, with new features and powered by both ChatGPT and its in-house AI.
This new version meets market research requirements and is tailored to the needs of researchers who are looking for a fluid and intuitive tool, enabling them to obtain more in-depth and human information.
Integrated into this platform to automate a large part of the analysis process, BARI (Bilendi Artificial Research Intelligence), Bilendi's artificial intelligence, is built on innovative in-house algorithms, proprietary AI and advanced rapid engineering techniques for ChatGPT developed by Bilendi's in-house experts.
With this launch, Bilendi confirms its ability to offer the very latest tools and technologies, which will not only open up new opportunities but also drive future growth for the Group.
