Narrative Science, a Salesforce company since its acquisition, creates natural language generation technology to translate data from multiple silos into what it calls stories. AI highlights only the most relevant and interesting information, to turn data into easy-to-understand reports, transform statistics into stories, and convert numbers into knowledge. To be sure, data storytelling is a key trend to watch.
Narrative Science created software that writes stories from enterprise data to drive understanding and results. It had two products, Quill and Lexio Lists, that used artificial intelligence to automatically turn data into easy-to-understand reports, transform statistics into stories, and convert numbers into knowledge. Narrative Science was founded in 2010 in Evanston, Illinois, after a student project in the Intelligent Information Lab at Northwestern University jump-started the NLG technology.
