* [http://www.anbotogroup.com/en/index.php Anboto Group] - Anboto provides Web Customer Service and e-Commerce technology based on Semantics and Natural Language Processing. The main offer of Anboto are the Virtual Sales Agent and Intelligent Chat.
* [[Q-go]] - The Q-go technology provides relevant answers to users in response to queries on a company’s internet website or corporate intranet, formulated in natural sentences or keyword input alike.
* [[Q-go]]
* [[Ask.com]] - The original idea behind Ask Jeeves (Ask.com) was to allow users to get answers to questions posed in everyday, natural language, as well as traditional keyword searching. The current Ask.com still supports this, with added support for math, dictionary, and conversion questions.
* [[Ask.com]]
* [http://code.google.com/p/c-phrase/ C-Phrase] - C-Phrase is a web-based natural language front end to relational databases. C-Phrase runs under LINUX, connects with PostgreSQL databases via ODBC and supports both select queries as well as updates. Currently there is only support for English. C-Phrase is hosted on Google Code site.
* [http://code.google.com/p/c-phrase/ C-Phrase]
* [[GNOME Do]] - GNOME Do is a popular, free application launcher for Linux. Unlike other application launchers, it not only allows searching for applications and files but it also allows specifying actions to perform on search results by providing instantaneous, action-oriented search results that adapt to reflect user habits and preferences.
* [[GNOME Do]]
* [[Brainboost]] — No longer available
* [[hakia]] - hakia is an Internet search engine. The company has invented an alternative new infrastructure to indexing that uses SemanticRank algorithm, a solution mix from the disciplines of ontological semantics, fuzzy logic, computational linguistics, and mathematics.
* [[hakia]]
* [[Lexxe]] - Lexxe is an Internet search engine that uses natural language processing for queries (semantic search). Searches can be made with questions, such as "How old is Wikipedia?", as well as keywords and phrases. When it comes to facts, Lexxe is quite effective, though needs much improvement in natural language analysis in the area of facts and in other areas.
* [[Lexxe]]
* [[Pikimal]] - Pikimal uses natural language tied to user preference to make search recommendations by template.
* [[Powerset (company)|Powerset]] — On May 11, 2008, the company unveiled a tool for searching a fixed subset of [[Wikipedia]] using conversational phrases rather than keywords.<ref>http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/technology/tech-powerset.html?_r=1&oref=slogin{{Dead link|date=May 2008}}</ref> On July 1, 2008, it was purchased by [[Microsoft]].<ref>[http://www.powerset.com/blog/articles/2008/07/01/microsoft-to-acquire-powerset Powerset Blog : Microsoft to Acquire Powerset]</ref>
* [[START (MIT project)]] [http://start.csail.mit.edu/] - START, Web-based question answering system. Unlike information retrieval systems such as search engines, START aims to supply users with "just the right information," instead of merely providing a list of hits. Currently, the system can answer millions of English questions about places, movies, people and dictionary definitions.
* [[START (MIT project)]] [http://start.csail.mit.edu/]
* [http://swingly.com/ Swingly] - Swingly is an answer engine designed to find exact answers to factual questions. Just ask a question in plain English - and Swingly will find you the answer (or answers) you're looking for (according to their site).
* [[Swingly]]
* [[Yebol]] - Yebol is a vertical "decision" search engine that had developed a knowledge-based, semantic search platform. Based in San Jose, CA, Yebol's artificial intelligence human intelligence-infused algorithms automatically cluster and categorize search results, web sites, pages and contents that it presents in a visually indexed format that is more aligned with initial human intent. Yebol uses association, ranking and clustering algorithms to analyze related keywords or web pages. Yebol integrates natural language processing, metasynthetic-engineered open complex systems, and machine algorithms with human knowledge for each query to establish a web directory that actually 'learns,' using correlation, clustering and classification algorithms to automatically generate the knowledge query, which is retained and regenerated forward.<ref>Humphries, Matthew.
