AI Brand Intel Double Victory at the Multilingual Semantic Search Hackathon

At Cohere, the arrival of March signifies the start of an exciting year for language AI innovation. Recently, we partnered with Qdrant at the Multilingual Semantic Search Hackathon, hosted by Lablab, which was a highlight of March. Hackathon participants from diverse technical backgrounds and various parts of the world came together to brainstorm, build, and present innovative ways to solve real-world problems using Cohere and Qdrant. Cohere's experts provided insightful workshops, keynotes, and mentoring sessions during the event.

Participants at the hackathon used the Cohere API and Qdrant's vector similarity engine and vector database to build solutions in five categories: Internal Knowledge Base Search, Legal Document Search, Forum Search, Customer Review, or Recommendations. They were awarded extra points if they used Cohere's multilingual semantic search capabilities or the Cohere Generate endpoint.

We are always amazed at the creative use of Cohere's API during these events. We saw a variety of use cases, and the winner of the Customer Review category also won the overall event. Congratulations to Team AI Disruptor and their project, AI Brand Intel.

AI Brand Intel is a platform that allows businesses to monitor and analyze brand mentions across social media and news sites from one dashboard. The platform can process content in over 100 languages and generate responses in the user's preferred language, thanks to its language translation and content intelligence capabilities. Businesses can also upload internal documentation, policies, rules, and regulations in multiple languages to feed chatbots and semantic search engines, streamlining content management, and enhancing customer experiences.

AI Brand Intel was built using Cohere's multilingual embedding model, Cohere Embed, Classify, Summarize, and Detect Language endpoints, and the Qdrant vector database. The platform has a Flask-based API backend and a Bubble-based, no-code front-end. Team AI Disruptor won a grand prize of $2,000 in cash, $5,000 Cohere credits, $5,000 in Qdrant Cloud credits, and a virtual coffee with Nils Reimers, Cohere's Director of Machine Learning. They also won $500 in cash, $2,000 Cohere credits, $2,000 Qdrant Cloud credits, a lablab.ai certificate, and online promotion for winning the Customer Review category.

We extend our appreciation to all participants who made the event exciting and productive. Keep an eye out for more Cohere-sponsored hackathons on the lablab.ai event schedule, and we can't wait to see what you build. Sign up for a free Cohere account and start building today.
