General

What can Capacity do for my company?

Capacity empowers teams with instant access to the knowledge they need to do their best work.

We realize that teams are inundated with too many emails, phone calls, shoulder taps, and tickets—that’s why we’re dedicated to automating processes and making organizational knowledge instantly accessible through a single dashboard.

What is tacit knowledge?

Tacit knowledge is the type of knowledge that often takes a considerable amount of time to acquire, and when it finally is acquired, it’s rarely codified.

If someone at your organization knows something that could prove useful to a colleague, you don’t want that knowledge to stay locked away in their mind.

Capacity captures and stores this tacit knowledge, making it instantly accessible for the right people in the organization.

How are companies using Capacity?

No matter the industry, no matter the use case, we’re here for one reason and one reason alone: help people do their best work. Check out how our clients are using Capacity.

Why the name Capacity?

Our mission is to help teams do their best work. We’re a new kind of helpdesk, powered by artificial intelligence, that automates support for customers and employees, which increases teams’ capacity to do their best work.

Do you work with resellers?

What makes Capacity artificially intelligent?

Our natural language processing (NLP) and our document mining technology are built on artificial intelligence.

    • Our NLP is comprised of 40+ industry-standard and proprietary algorithms that enable Capacity to interpret and answer a wide array of inquiries. These algorithms facilitate spell checking, word importance, word order, term frequency, acronym translation,
      phrasal matching, word vectorization, and more. Plus, each time Capacity receives positive or negative user feedback, our machine learning and neural networks automatically leverage that data to continuously improve the model.
    • Our patented document mining tech facilitates the automatic generation of questions and answers out of documents.

CoPilot

Why shouldn’t we just build our own chatbot?

If you have a dedicated team of AI, ML, NLP, Conversational UI, and UX Design experts—you absolutely should.

However, then you’d only have a chatbot.

Capacity is much more than a chatbot.

Capacity is a secure, AI-native knowledge- sharing platform. The following are just a handful of the features you’ll enjoy with Capacity:

Can Capacity route to live chat?

Yes! Capacity can now escalate from level-0 to level-1 support with our LiveChat functionality.

However, Capacity also comes standard with our human-in-the-loop (HITL) CoPilot Console.

When Capacity doesn’t know the answer to a question, it intelligently requests backup from a HITL within your organization. CoPilots can respond to, forward, or dismiss any questions Capacity couldn’t automatically answer. Over time, fewer and fewer questions will require and HITL intervention.

How does Capacity understand users? (What is Natural Language Processing?)

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence that enables computers to analyze and understand human language.

Our NLP is comprised of 40+ industry-standard and proprietary algorithms that enable Capacity to interpret and answer a wide array of inquiries. These algorithms facilitate spell checking, word importance, word order, term frequency, acronym translation, phrasal matching, word vectorization, and more. Plus, each time Capacity receives positive or negative user feedback, our machine learning and neural networks automatically leverage that data to continuously improve the model.

What if Capacity doesn’t know the answer to something? / How does Capacity learn?

When Capacity doesn’t know the answer to a question, it intelligently requests backup from a human-in-the-loop within your organization via the CoPilot Console. CoPilots can respond to, forward, or dismiss any questions Capacity couldn’t automatically answer. Over time, fewer and fewer questions will require and HITL intervention.

What is the CoPilot Console?

The CoPilot Console is like your company’s AI-powered switchboard. It makes it easy for your team’s administrators to filter, organize, and respond to inbound inquiries. It’s like an email inbox that’s actually enjoyable to manage. CoPilots can respond to, forward, or dismiss any questions Capacity couldn’t automatically answer. Over time, fewer and fewer questions will require human-in-the-loop (HITL) intervention.

In addition to our AI-assisted, HITL knowledge base, the CoPilot Console is also the place where you’ll find:

Can Capacity mine documents, webpages, or spreadsheets?

Yes, yes, and yes!

With Capacity’s patent-pending LiveDoc, LivePage, and LiveSheet technologies, you can actually have conversations with your documents, webpages, and spreadsheets.

In just a few simple steps, admins can generate dynamic exchanges from docs, pages, or sheets, from the CoPilot console in a matter of seconds. What’s more, these dynamic exchanges are evergreen—anytime an answer is updated in the respective source material, it is automatically updated in the CoPilot Console.

Can I communicate with Capacity through voice?

At the moment, team members can only communicate with Capacity via text. However, if they have text-to-speech enabled on their device, they can speak their questions to our chatbot.

What languages does Capacity speak?

Capacity currently only understands English. However, multi-language support is coming soon!

Do you provide analytics?

We are in the process of building a robust, enterprise analytics dashboard. Stay tuned!
