GAIA stands for Generative Artificial Intelligence Application and is not a finished product.  It is a process accelerator tool for search and generative AI projects. This Search & Generative AI Application is composed of a collection of technology-independent components that can help improve search & generative AI development for repeatable use cases, accelerate project timelines, and reduce overall project costs.

GAIA has two main components:  GAIA API and GAIA UI.

GAIA API is a framework that provides a REST service created in Python which is well documented with Swagger.  It has a pipeline architecture optimized for search and generative AI applications which makes it easy to customize functionality to handle complex generative AI requests through the addition or customization of individual stages.

GAIA UI is the accompanying UI for the framework, made in React and having common functionality found in many search UIs like dynamic fields, facets, filtering, pagination, sorting, highlighting, type ahead, search analytics. etc. It also contains many useful user interface components for generative AI, such as content comparison, semantic search, question-answer, and an assistant (e.g. chat-bot like) interactive dialog interface.

Use Cases

It will flatten the user interface

• The user will just type what they want.
• This will replace multitudes of complex nested menus, tabs, dialogs and navigators.
• New features can be implemented much more quickly and easily as independent plug-ins and add-ons.

Computers will be expected to do much more complex, end-to-end tasks

• Users will want to be able to make complex, multi-step requests with natural language.
• The computer will be expected to guide the user through those steps, prompting them along the way

The search box now becomes the single-most critical user interface component

• It is, today, the only place where people enter text to get what they want.
• It will become the first & primary method by which users interact with your application.

Expectations on language understanding will grow dramatically

• Users will expect it to have human-like interactive capabilities.
• This includes answering complex questions and helping you to achieve complex tasks.
