SAN JOSE, Calif. – October 22, 2024 – Cohesity, a leader in AI-powered data security, today introduced a patent-pending visual data exploration capability to Cohesity Gaia, its first-to-market AI-powered search assistant launched earlier this year. By providing customers with a visual categorization of the themes across documents and files within a data set, the visual data explorer brings new context to the data and suggests queries that help users gain insights faster.

With traditional approaches, enterprises often struggle to gain insights across unstructured data and text. This challenge only grows as the amount of unstructured data increases. With unstructured data representing more than 80 percent of all corporate data1, companies are often forced to run queries and compile reports based on a small subset of data — the information stored in structured systems. As a result, reports and analyses may be incomplete or inaccurate, with valuable insight still locked inside disparate unstructured systems.

Cohesity Gaia brings the power of generative AI to enterprise data, dramatically improving the speed and quality of insights available for a variety of use cases. The solution indexes and provides insight based on data stored in many popular formats, including emails, documents, PDFs, text files, spreadsheets, HTML, XML, and presentations.

Gain Insights Faster with Auto-Generated Themes and Topics for Thousands of Documents

One of the biggest challenges users face when working with vast datasets is having access to data but not knowing where to begin or what valuable insights can be retrieved. Cohesity Gaia overcomes this by automatically providing a visual representation of the data, sorted by themes, giving users a clear starting point. The new visual explorer uses topic modeling, a set of advanced AI techniques with natural language processing, to instantly identify hidden thematic structures across documents and files. This deep insight and context into the nature of the data offers a framework for better understanding, empowering users to ask more informed and targeted questions as they search.

The Gaia data explorer further simplifies this process by allowing users to click through each theme, ask conversational questions, and interact with intelligent, context-aware prompts to quickly find the most relevant information. Aligned with Cohesity’s responsible AI commitment, Gaia gives customers insight into their data while keeping it secure and compliant with regulatory requirements.
