NLWeb, a revolutionary tool that turns any standard website into an app that can understand text was officially launched by Microsoft. This is a huge step forward for how business and developers can use artificial intelligence to reuse digital content to create smarter user engagement experiences and operational efficiencies.

Highlights:

• NLWeb allows seamless transformation of websites into AI-powered applications.
• It supports natural language queries directly within the website interface.
• Microsoft integrates it with Azure AI Studio for enhanced customization.
• NLWeb is optimized for both desktop and mobile environments.
• The tool requires no major backend changes to existing sites

Microsoft takes the concept of artificial intelligence to the web layer with NLWeb, allowing any web site to behave as an AI powered app by giving it the ability to speak and listen via conversation language rather than traditional surface level interactions, allowing us to navigate and extract data more effectively. Ideal for e-commerce, education, enterprise services etc, where user queries that need not be complex API or systems into legacy websites can answer instantaneously.

NLWeb is built upon Microsoft’s AzureAI infrastructure such that developers can personalize behaviour through pre-trained models and data integrations. NLWeb takes any site, whether it hosts product catalogs, documentation or FAQs and turns it into an AI powered app that understands natural language. Businesses can deploy intelligent experiences with minimal setup, so wide scale redevelopment isn’t required and anyone outside the realm of traditional app developers can access AI.

Microsoft’s continued presence in the real-world AI playbook is signalled by this launch. The tech giant is attempting to lower the barriers needed to adopt AI across platforms by offering digital platform owners NLWeb as a simple plug and play solution. Since so many businesses are looking to build AI powered apps that will offer real time interaction and personalization, NLWeb is a scalable and cost effective way to smarter web interaction. In many ways, Microsoft’s clear bet is to become the go to provider of transformative AI tools.
