Mira AI: Plain Language Search and Querying

Meltwater allows analysts to search the information environment using natural language rather than complex Boolean queries. Users can ask direct questions about topics, narratives, or actors without extensive query design or maintenance and instantly receive a narrative style response. This lowers the barrier to entry for new users while allowing experienced analysts to adapt quickly as narratives shift. AI enabled plain language search reduces setup time and supports faster insight generation.

Benefits:

  • Eliminates dependence on Boolean query expertise
  • Reduces query maintenance and retuning
  • Improves consistency across analyst teams and reduces the barrier to entry
