Exsys Corvid Core is a tool for building and deploying online expert systems. It provides non-programmers a way to easily build interactive Web applications that capture the logic and processes used to solve problems and deliver it online to any Browser - even iPhones and iPads.

Organizations can now optimize their most valuable asset, expert knowledge, through powerful interactive Web-enabled knowledge automation expert systems. Online sessions emulate a conversation with a human expert asking focused questions and producing customized recommendations and advice.  The decision making skills of your top experts can now be made available to everyone.

Some of the most common application areas are:

Regulatory and Compliance Requirements
Diagnosing and Repairing Equipment and Processes
Web Self-Service Customer or Technical Support
Pre-Sales Advice for Prospects
Configuration of Complex Systems
Technical or Engineering "Best Practices"
Capturing Corporate Knowledge Before it is Lost
Smart Questionnaires

The powerful, proven Exsys Inference Engine supports probabilistic logic and backward chaining, making it easy to break even large problems into small sections that are automatically invoked when, and if, they are needed. Building a system with Corvid is more like explaining how a decision was made to another person than programming.

Corvid Core gives you everything you need to build high-value expert systems and put them online:

1. The Exsys Corvid Core development tool - based on the powerful, proven Exsys Corvid tool for Windows, but with a new user interface designed for the Mac

2. Both Java Applet and Servlet versions of the Exsys Runtime, that enable fielding the systems you build online. You are allowed to put these runtime programs on your server to field your systems. This is the same proven Exsys Inference Engine used to solve complex problems in industry, government and military systems. (Fielding systems with the servlet runtime allows them to run on iPhones and iPads)

3. Online tutorials to help you get started

4. An extensive, but very readable Corvid Core manual

5. Online sample systems, with details of how they were built and system files

6. An extensive support expert system, built with Corvid Core, to solve most common issues in installing and running systems.
