Yacht Search Got Smarter. Meet Brook, the First Artificial Intelligence in Yachting.
Yacht Harbour, leaders in online yacht search have introduced the first artificial intelligence that is able to answer yacht-related questions. Connected to its own leading yacht database, Brook is able to answer a virtually unlimited set of questions on yachts through simple chat. Users can now find the information they need lightning fast and without filling any unnecessary fields.
Monaco, November 20, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Following months of development and testing, our team is happy to introduce Brook, the first artificial intelligence for yachts. Brook has been designed to create an open and interactive way to answer yacht related questions lighting fast.
Brook can handle a virtually unlimited amount of questions thanks to its connection to our leading database. Through a simple chat interface, users can ask Brook about anything from looking up yacht specs to performing complex, long-tail searches.
There is a clear shift in search to a more fluid, interactive experience.When searching for yachts, people want the flexibility of a human conversation and yet they expect instant results on their own time. This is where Brook matches a real need for an experience that is no longer cluttered by required parameters. In yachting, customers often know what they want and Brook plays a crucial role in getting those customers to the yachts they want much faster than any other system would

Thanks to our new AI, users can now search in a way that truly reflects the technical capabilities of today’s world and of the Yacht Harbour team.
For example, Brook can tell you what is the biggest yacht built by Lurssen currently for sale or what is the fastest yacht designed by Terence Disdale.
When building Brook, the development team has created an infrastructure that will autonomously expand as our users interact with it. This means in other terms that Brook has the ability to learn an exponential amount of trivia by himself and that over time he’ll leave no question unanswered.
Yacht Harbour has developed this AI system in-house to help in its objective to make yacht search more accessible to potential yacht buyers. We expect Brook to be extremely popular amongst a variety of target audiences. During a week-long testing period in the US, we’re happy to report that Brook has managed to successfully answer in excess of 80% of all questions asked.
Yacht Harbour has seen the need for such a system after over a year in business providing a search system for yachts for sale. Our team felt that covering yacht news every day and operating its own yacht database gave it enough knowledge on the sector to build the artificial intelligence to make search smarter.
