WordLift NG is part of a financing plan allocated by the EU to make European companies more competitive through AI tools at the service of businesses and people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As WordLift CEO <strong>Andrea Volpini<\/strong> stated recently,&nbsp;<em>\u201cArtificial Intelligence&nbsp;is shaping the online world with huge investments from GAFAM&nbsp; (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon e Microsoft).

With a more powerful knowledge graph, it will be possible to<strong> fully decouple WordLift from WordPress<\/strong> to make this technology available to any website worldwide. The consortium also aims to improve the quality of the content recommendations and to bring an engaging semantic search experience. Last but not least, as the knowledge base behind each website will improve, it will be possible to enable&nbsp;<strong>conversational experiences<\/strong>&nbsp;over Google Assistant and Alexa (focus will be on news and media and hospitality sector).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/wordlift.io\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/567-1024x768-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordlift.io\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/567-1024x768-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wordlift.io\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/567-1024x768-1-980x735.jpg 980w, https:\/\/wordlift.io\/ng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/05\/567-1024x768-1-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1024px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption><em>The first partner meeting in Rome \u2014 February 2020<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet the Consortium<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To achieve these ambitious goals, <strong>WordLift<\/strong> has teamed with leading organizations in Europe in the field of AI, NLP and Semantic Technologies and tourismus: <strong>Redlink GmbH<\/strong> (led by Andreas Gruber CEO of the company), the <strong>Semantic Technology Institute<\/strong> at the Department of Computer Science of the University of Innsbruck (under the supervision of Ass.-Prof. Dr. Anna Fensel) and, <strong>SalzburgerLand Tourismus GmbH<\/strong> (with Martin Reichhart, Innovation Manager as coordinator).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to the EU funded project and the collaboration between Italy and Austria, WordLift NG will democratize the usage of&nbsp;<strong>agentive SEO<\/strong>, developing a complete new technology stack to help businesses around the world remain competitive in the ever-changing search and digital marketing landscape.
