Chapter 164: Baidu's Despair

"The retrieval process of traditional search engines is based on keywords."

"One must use sufficiently precise keywords to have any chance of matching the desired results."

"Yet, many times, users do not understand what they want to search for well enough, have no idea what keywords to use, or use inaccurate terms, leading to inaccurate results."

"Because many of the questions we want to ask simply cannot be summarized by one or two simple keywords."

"If we input a paragraph using colloquial language, the search results might be bizarre and completely unrelated to the question."

"This is the limitation of traditional search engines."

"Whereas the retrieval process of an intelligent search engine is based on content comprehension."

"It first parses the user's question according to its own linguistic logic to understand the true meaning, then automatically aggregates information retrieved from the internet to generate one or several answers."

"This process requires accurately understanding the user's words, efficiently matching relevant information, and summarizing that information."

"Precise understanding, efficient matching, and intelligent summarization are the three key points of an intelligent search engine."

The middle-aged man picked up the mobile phone in his hand and said with a smile: "And these are exactly what Tiantian Assistant excels at."

"Based on the powerful intelligence of Tiantian Assistant, we can communicate with it as if it were a human, simply asking the questions we want to ask directly."

"If a traditional search engine is equivalent to a rigid directory in a database."

"Then the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine is equivalent to a teacher who possesses vast knowledge, capable of answering various questions in our life or work at any time in a humanized way."

"That concludes the introduction of this new product." The middle-aged man bowed slightly at the end and returned to his seat.

Song Yanyong, president of Tianqi Software Company, nodded with a smile:

"Not bad. If such a program is launched, it could almost directly defeat Baidu and Google, winning a massive number of new users for the company."

Liu Qingli also smiled: "This software is quite valuable; your technical department deserves much of the credit."

Hu Yuanzhang, manager of the technical department, hurriedly said:

"Everyone has indeed worked hard, but the boss also deserves a great deal of credit. The boss previously took the time to optimize it twice, which is why the Tiantian search engine possesses such powerful performance today."

Liu Qingli smiled:

"No matter how much credit the boss deserves, I cannot give him a single cent in bonuses, so this credit should still be attributed to you all."

"Later, President Song, please remember to arrange for a reward scheme to be formulated for everyone. The boss has said that there is no need to save money for him regarding rewards."

The few people from the technical department immediately laughed.

Everyone knew that the entire Tianqi Group had always been very generous with rewards, often giving bonuses of more than half a month's salary.

And the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine they developed this time could be called an epoch-making product, occupying an absolutely leading position in the industry, which would bring great benefits to the company.

The company's rewards would definitely be a pleasant surprise.

After the few discussed some technical and usage issues regarding the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine, Liu Qingli announced the end of the meeting.

Following that.

Liu Qingli and several other members of the management team held a separate meeting to solemnly discuss the launch plan for the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine.

Just as the middle-aged man said, search engines are one of the most commonly used tools in the internet age and are also the most important traffic gateways.

Baidu and Google, two world-renowned companies, both started with search engines and treat them as their core business, which shows their value.

Therefore.

Liu Qingli and the others attached great importance to the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine, treating it as the strategic focus of the entire Tianqi Software Company.

How to seize the market as quickly as possible.

How to utilize this search engine to bring the greatest benefits to the company.

These all needed careful planning.

……

Two days later.

The Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine was launched with great fanfare.

Since it was launched in the form of a functional widget, only premium members could use it.

However, at this time, the number of premium members for the Longyu Version of Tiantian Assistant had already reached 150 million.

It could be called massive.

It is worth mentioning that under the operation of Tianqi Software Company, the Tiantian Forum exclusive to Tiantian Assistant had a very high level of activity, becoming one of the largest social forums in the world.

Both the number of people and the activity level were number one in the world.

If it didn't have an entry threshold and could only be accessed on mobile devices, it would likely have already become the largest forum in the world, bar none.

Countless users of Tiantian Assistant exchanged various experiences and insights there, or just chatted and goofed off.

As soon as the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine hit the market, it posted a pinned thread in the Longyu forum section, immediately attracting countless eyes.

In the hearts of many users, every functional widget of Tiantian Assistant was the top existence in the industry, and premium members could download and use all functional widgets without limit.

Therefore, the vast majority of people did not hesitate at all and chose to download and try it out immediately.

The performance of the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine was indeed subversive; the search results were precise and the method was convenient, which could be said to completely crush all other search engine products on the market.

As long as one used it a few times, one could clearly experience the vast gap between it and all other search engines on the market.

Therefore.

This trial immediately caused a great sensation among the group of premium member users.

After being reviewed and promoted by some popular bloggers, it allowed many non-premium members to see its powerful effects as well.

After just a few days of brewing and fermentation, the storm caused by the intelligent search engine swept across the entire Long Country, as well as the overseas Longyu social circle.

Attracted by the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine, a massive number of basic member users chose to upgrade and become premium members of Tiantian Assistant.

Many die-hards who had been resisting Tiantian Assistant also finally could not resist the powerful capabilities of the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine and directly topped up to become premium members of Tiantian Assistant.

This brought massive revenue to Tianqi Software Company and also took a big step forward for Tiantian Assistant toward the goal of becoming essential software for all mobile users.

At the same time.

Baidu, Soumao, Google, and so on—all search engine providers worldwide were shaken by this.

Although only the Longyu Version is currently online, everyone knows that since Tiantian Assistant already has six-language versions, the intelligent search engine will sooner or later develop versions in other languages as well.

By that time, companies like Google will not be able to escape being crushed by the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine.

It can be said that the launch of the Tiantian Intelligent Search Engine is a devastating blow to all other similar software.

Just like all other products from Tianqi Group.

Baidu and other companies urgently discussed response strategies, but found that there was simply nothing they could do.

The technological gap is truly too vast.
