Cohesity, a data management and storage company, has introduced new features to its AI-powered search assistant, Cohesity Gaia.

The new visual data exploration feature uses topic modeling and natural language processing to automatically identify hidden thematic structures across documents and files. It provides a visual representation of data sorted by themes, allowing users to click through each theme, ask conversational questions, and interact with intelligent, context-aware prompts. The update also expands support for data sources including Microsoft 365 Mail, SharePoint, OneDrive, and on-premise or cloud-based file servers.

The company states that the updates will provide deeper, more contextual insights while maintaining data security and compliance with regulatory requirements.

Analyst QuickTake: This news marks the company's ongoing efforts to help customers securely leverage AI for enhanced data insights. Earlier this year, the company partnered with Nvidia to deploy advanced GenAI capabilities into its platform, Gaia.
