DEVONagent makes the Internet the world's largest knowledge base
July 15th, 2003 -DEVONtechnologies' new Internet search agent software DEVONagent is getting closer to the first public beta, and so the product page has been updated with new screenshots and a description of the forthcoming features.
Based on DEVONtechnologies' revolutionary DEVONtechnology, DEVONagent is the information finding tool of the next generation. It simulates the behaviour of a human web surfer scanning the Internet for a specific piece of information. Technically, DEVONagent uses a variety of searching techniques and collects the results from major search engines. Then it visits all the found web sites, downloads, analyses and weights them to find the most relevant pages, eliminating information junk (empty pages, HTTP errors, sites that don't contain the search phrase, similar or duplicate pages, or pages with too little information) automatically on-the-fly.
Especially useful for anyone visiting the same pages over and over again to see if there's something published about a specific topic is the brand new crawler. It scans through lists of interesting pages and reports only those dealing with what the user is looking for.
........
Key features:
- Automatic querying of search engines
- Collecting, analysing, weighting and summarising search results
- Crawler to auto-surf your favourite web pages
- Dynamic digest based on intelligent topic list
- Automatic junk filter
- Integrated web browser based on the Safari engine
- Clean text-only preview
- Searchable web page archive
- Integrated with DEVONthink
- Highly multi-threaded, uses all core technologies of Mac OS X
- Flexible plug-in architecture.
