YEXT
So , what if we could leave keyword search in the past , take only the best parts of Google ’ s AI-powered consumer search , and use it to transform the enterprise search experience ? This is where Yext comes in .
Founded in 2006 , Yext ( NYSE : YEXT ) is a global enterprise search company that builds AI-powered search solutions for businesses to plug into their websites , customer support sites , apps , intranet , and more .
