Unlike Google, the answers and all the relevant visualizations are pulled from a curated knowledge base of structured data from sites and books. Just like Google, WolframAlpha offers a solution in less than a second.
Users can simply go to WolframAlpha and punch in a query. Released in 2009, WolframAlpha is based on the 1988 Wolfram Mathematica, a powerful computational platform designed for use in technical, scientific, engineering, and mathematical fields. If it’s a clear-cut fact, WolframAlpha will tell it to you. No beating around the bush, no thousands of articles with competing perspectives. WolframAlpha is not so much a search engine as it is an “answer engine.”Īn answer engine is designed to spit out a factual answer to your question. Google has it in spades when it comes to articles, news, documents, and web pages. The answer is largely dependent on what it is you’re searching for. So what exactly is this niche approach? Why would someone use WolframAlpha when you could just Google it?
