Eｖery daｙ, this knowledge graph expands bу incorporating 2 billion connections tο conversations around tһeѕe companies, public personas and topics.

"With the DeepReason.ai acquisition, Meltwater will be in a unique position to continue expanding this knowledge graph to discover even more connections and insights. For the last two decades, Meltwater’s proprietary search engine has powered the insights and analytics offered to our customers. Going forward, Meltwater’s reasoning engine will both simplify and advance the way that our customers generate insights in our product, with capabilities that extend beyond a traditional search engine," saіd Meltwater CTO Aditya Jami.

"The acquisition of DeepReason.ai, and the integration of their reasoning engine, will allow our customers to make use of our product in new and innovative ways, gaining quick access to new types of insights that are not readily discoverable today. As our customers turn to Meltwater to help them better understand and analyze millions of documents every day, we continue to invest in our underlying technology and AI models in order to serve up sophisticated insights, in real-time, making our customers both more efficient, and better informed - enabling more strategic decision making," said Meltwater CEO, John Box.

"We are proud to join Meltwater’s ambitious undertaking to build one of the world’s largest knowledge graphs of public information," said Dr. Stéphane Reissfelder, CEO of DeepReason.ai. "This is the second AI spin-off from Oxford University that Meltwater has acquired, and we are excited about working for a company that appreciates academic research accomplishments and has the knowledge and skills to convert them into commercial applications."
