This post introduces watsonx Discovery, an add-on to watsonx Assistant that leverages generative AI for informational tasks. It utilizes an IBM-packaged Elasticsearch for semantic, federated, and vector search over business content. This enables conversational search powered by retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), combining a chat interface, a robust retrieval system, and enterprise-ready LLMs. It contrasts with Watson Discovery, which focuses on document understanding and processing for intelligent business processes. watsonx Discovery is designed for scalable, content-grounded conversational answers, supporting English language and available on Cloud Pak for Data.
