Starmind is a knowledge sharing platform from the company of the same name in Zurich. With AI-powered “human-centric” search, the platform is designed to enable organizations’ employees to find needed information from the people most likely to know the answer.

The employee who is seeking information can rate the quality of the feedback Starmind produces, so that Starmind’s search results improve over time.The vendor states the platform can be used to speed onboarding, reduce support tickets, and reduce the overall time required by employees to locate needed facts.
Starmind’s application is available via desktop or mobile applications. It uses data from over 200 sources, including corporate intranets, Slack, Microsoft Office, Jive, and Microsoft Teams. Users can also integrate chatbots, intranets, and ticketing systems..
