VaultEdge wants to be the Google for your personal data

The application will use a spider search technique to search your mails and files, reports Tech in Asia

It’s an awfully busy day. In midst of all the chaos an email lands in your inbox, from your boss demanding certain documents urgently. What do you do? Spend next 30 minutes frantically searching for the documents across your multiple accounts. No luck. Panic sets in.

What if there was an easier way to do the same task in less than five minutes? That’s VaultEdge.

Here is how it works

Sign up with VaultEdge and give it access to all the accounts you would like it to organise and pull out files from. The application will use a spider search technique to search your mails and files, and it will categorise all of them under relevant fields.

If you are looking for something, VaultEdge uses machine learning to pull out the relevant information. The algorithm behind the application is trained to identify words like bills, salary slip, tax, and 12 other such categories. Even if the words are not mentioned in the body of the text, the algorithm has the intelligence to search through the attached document and filter it accordingly.

What next?

Founder and CEO Sajeev Aravindan believes the product has unlimited potential. In the future, he wants to take a cue from Google and add a semantic search feature. Semantic search takes the context of the searched topic into consideration besides just the words typed in. It then throws up the most accurate option to the user.

For instance, if you type “INR to USD” in Google search, it will show a relevant currency converter as the top feed, instead of a link. You can do the calculations right there on the Google page. This is an excerpt from Tech in Asia. You can read the full article here
