Building on its promise to give the entrenched a run for their money, conversational AI startup Ozlo<\/a> is making its meticulously crafted knowledge layer available for purchase today. Ozlo\u2019s new suite of APIs that includes tools for both expressing knowledge and\u00a0understanding language will help to democratize the creation of conversational AI assistants.<\/p>\n

In the spirit of the expert systems of the 1980\u2019s, knowledge graphs are about leveraging massive fact databases to build intelligent AI tools. The problem is that intelligence isn\u2019t just a matter of knowing facts. Though no truly intelligent AI has emerged from well organized information, Google, Microsoft and others have made use of the\u00a0knowledge graph to reduce the barriers to getting desired information\u00a0\u2014 think of the search widgets that tell you Barack Obama\u2019s age so you don\u2019t have to click on Wikipedia.<\/p>\n

But while the knowledge graph has been usurped by natural language understanding as the most prominent part of the typical conversational AI tech stack, it remains a critical layer. Part of the reason for this is that it has become difficult\u00a0to compete on knowledge because there aren\u2019t many \u00a0tools available and developers who choose to start from scratch waste precious time reinventing the wheel.<\/p>\n

Ozlo\u2019s probabilistic approach to the knowledge graph simultaneously attempts to make measured technological gains and push the market for knowledge closer to democratization. The tools being released today for developers power Ozlo\u2019s own bot. Ozlo knows over two billion facts, but it\u00a0can also handle queries for opinionated information \u2014 like whether a given restaurant is good for oysters, \u00e0 la the image below.<\/p>\n

With greater clarity than ever, Charles Jolley, Ozlo\u2019s CEO, is pushing the company to provide the enabling infrastructure<\/em> for conversational AI.\u00a0Ozlo launched its own consumer assistant <\/a>back in October, but it doesn\u2019t seem like it will be a major part of the company\u2019s growth strategy. Instead,\u00a0Jolley hopes that Ozlo can monetize its APIs to open up the playing field for companies to build better experiences for their users.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe important question is how you tie together the data set with\u00a0machine intelligence to just create a good user experience,\u201d explained\u00a0John Lilly, partner at Greylock and investor in Ozlo.<\/p>\n

The knowledge graph or Data API is being priced by volume. But additionally, Ozlo is making an Intent API available to help developers identify\u00a0user intent from queries. A third, Converse API, works to preemptively offer responses that mesh with where a conversation is likely headed.<\/p>\n
