“We train Watson. It learns like we

learn…We’re one of the very first

companies to launch a new

company built entirely on top of

Watson.”

data the same way we are now in

two weeks and in two seconds."

crisp yet nuanced answers to their

questions. For instance, 'My

husband just got out of the Army

and we are having a hard time

finding a job for him.‘”
