The Challenge

Modern enterprises accumulate vast amounts of structured and unstructured data, including databases, emails, messages, and documents. Retrieving relevant information quickly is crucial for daily operations but remains a complex challenge. Traditional query implementation is time-intensive, requiring custom-built interfaces and backend APIs that connect different applications.

A leading grocery supplier struggled with inefficient data retrieval that was slowing sales operations. As one senior sales rep noted: "I spent hours manually pulling data from multiple systems for simple inquiries. It was frustrating and time-consuming."

Key Pain Points:

  • Slow access to critical business data (orders, suppliers, inventory, pricing)
  • Dependence on manual database queries requiring ongoing development support
  • Sales reps lacked real-time insights for quick decisions
  • Administrators manually processed over 100 daily emails, repeatedly searching past records

The Solution

Yearling AI built an AI-driven data retrieval system, seamlessly integrated as a microservice on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The solution allows users to ask questions in natural language through text or speech and instantly retrieve relevant information, eliminating manual database queries.

AI-powered search using NLP, Knowledge Graphs, and CypherQL ensures accurate results. Automated email responses extract answers from past inquiries, reducing administrative workload. With a microservice architecture, the solution integrates effortlessly into existing systems.

How It Works:

Voice and text input converted to structured searches using speech-to-text and NLP
AI generates Cypher queries via Knowledge Graphs and Neo4j for precise data retrieval
Intent classification and entity recognition refine results for accuracy
Real-time insights delivered via text or speech output
Fine-tuned BERT model automates email responses from historical data
