For years, Syndicate has been global enterprises' solution of choice for aggregating, managing and delivering corporate content, turning content silos into a unified, single source of truth. The enterprise-scale, cloud-based platform enables seamless integration with other systems and applications, advanced search and content filtering, enhanced analytics, role-based permissions and content governance, and robust compliance.
Now, Syndicate has the power to semantically analyze and index content, allowing organizations to truly harness the power of AI with their proprietary content. With a deep semantic understanding of content, Syndicate facilitates successful retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) implementations to improve the accuracy and reliability of AI chat bots, provides AI-powered semantic search so teams can find the content most relevant to their needs, and enables powerful semantic content duplication analysis that ensures a content library is highly effective and highly manageable.
The latest release builds on Syndicate's comprehensive functionality with several new features, including AI-Powered Semantic Search that understands the context of content whether answering a user's question or conducting duplicate content analysis at scale; Portals that enable the creation of customized public or private portals with top-to-bottom control of the user experience; Tech Docs Integration providing direct, seamless connections to MadCap Flare and MadCap IXIA CCMS; and Automated Content Classification and Tagging driven by AI and machine learning.
"Corporate content, when unified and combined with context, becomes a powerful source of knowledge that AI technologies can tap to deliver meaningful, accurate insights to organizations' employees, customers and partners," said Anthony Olivier, MadCap Software founder and CEO. "Our newest release of Syndicate is an AI enablement platform that empowers enterprises to deliver on this promise at multiple levels. By extending support for technical documentation along with L&D content, it lets organizations create a unified content fabric that facilitates AI search and analysis. By embedding semantic meaning into all stored content, Syndicate cuts content clutter and enables AI to extract meaningful insights and answers. And by adding Syndicate Portals, the platform empowers enterprises to create customized portals that allow users to tap the power of their AI-optimized content."
Syndicate adds embedded semantic meaning to the vector database behind Syndicate's core library. As a result, the platform can gain the context to understand any content stored in it. Syndicate now goes beyond offering AI-powered semantic search to also perform semantic duplication analysis on the content, marking semantic duplicates and intelligently hiding them in search results, improving the quality and effectiveness of content surfaced to users. Enterprises can automatically identify duplicate content across thousands of pieces of content, even if the terminology, language, and keywords are different.
The new product release also adds automated content classification and tagging capabilities, powered by Syndicate's semantic understanding of both the customer's content and taxonomy. The function allows Syndicate to automatically suggest to content managers which taxons should be applied, ensuring content is optimized for search and discoverability while reducing the risk of human errors.
The newest release adds Syndicate Portals, allowing non-technical users to easily set up and manage their own portals as independent web applications. This feature enables portals to take advantage of all Syndicate features while offering flexibility to enforce private, role-based access to content, provide public search-engine-friendly access, or include a mixture of both. Teams can create public portals accessible by any person or AI agent, private portals requiring authentication, or mixed-use portals with both public and private sections.
The newest release introduces Syndicate for Tech Docs, which provides direct, seamless integration with MadCap Flare and MadCap IXIA CCMS. Now content from Flare and IXIA CCMS can be published directly to Syndicate while retaining deep metadata applied during content creation, allowing users to take advantage of Syndicate's AI capabilities, governance, compliance, advanced search and analysis.
