Curious how it compares to my offering:

The main issue is giving access to documents, which most Enterprise customers do not want to do... Further, most info is in employees heads, not in documentation.

It would be cool if they added this to their Kindle e-readers so you could could perform better searches of your library.

Thank God. Even today it's almost always faster to use Google than a site's search bar. Maybe this will start to change that.

It's not going to change many sites at this price point though. It'll be a minimum of $1,800/mo(!) and that's only for 10k documents, 4k queries/day.

Damn this is a really expensive alternative to Algolia.

Probably this dictionary definition of Kendra (kendră) might make sense in this context

kendra (IndE)

noun C

a centre for some activity (research, study, business, art, etc.)
