New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 3.1% This is considered a minor risk.

Yext Releases Yext Content, the Headless Cms Built on Foundation of Ai Yext, Inc. released Yext Content, a new way companies can deliver any experience across any digital channel from a single content management system (CMS). The company believes Yext Content is the first headless CMS built on a foundation of AI and knowledge graph technology. Legacy CMSs were designed for single-purpose applications and individual channels. The approach was perfectly suited for a single channel -- the website. But now, there are an endless number of channels where nearly 5 billion people around the globe are connected to the internet and expect to engage with businesses digitally. Yext Content leverages AI along with data from across a company's business to unlock conversational AI, automated data cleaning, and content-generation workflows. The innovations include: Hello, AI; We're Ready: Yext Content houses both content and the taxonomy behind it, allowing organizations to structure content in the best format for AI. The unique approach is made possible by Yext's leadership in enterprise knowledge graph technology, which maps real-world entities and their relationships. Companies can use Yext Content, the only channel-agnostic headless CMS, to deliver content to their customers in traditional channels like their website, mobile apps, social, reviews, listings, search, and next-gen experiences like conversational AI and augmented reality. With Yext Content, companies can leverage AI to connect to content from data sources across the enterprise synchronously and shape, clean, and organize it to generate on-brand, customer-facing content autonomously. Yext simplifies the process for teams by automating many of the necessary steps to data processing and cleansing so the created content is pristine and appropriate for either customers or employees. Small Teams Operate at Scale: Businesses can use Yext Content to make their team of five look like a team of 50 with its content flywheel. The AI flywheel identifies new opportunities for content based on customer interaction and journey data such assearches, chats, and clicks. It then generates new or updated content to fill in content gaps and provides them as suggestions for the content team to approve or edit prior to publishing - further fueling the AI flywheel.

Yext, Inc. Announces the Launch of Yext Chat, A New Product That Empowers Organizations to Create Conversational Experiences with Cutting-Edge AI Yext, Inc. announced the launch of Yext Chat, a new product that empowers organizations to create conversational experiences with cutting-edge AI. The company plans to publicly release Yext Chat later this year and invites interested parties to join the waitlist for a closed beta. Designed specifically for the enterprise use case, Yext Chat leverages multiple large language models (LLMs) including OpenAI’s GPT-3, the Yext Knowledge Graph, and other proprietary technology to deliver an accurate and natural language chat experience that allows users to ask any question they want about a particular knowledge set. General-purpose large language models are trained on a wide variety of public datasets, which often include little to no authoritative information about a business. Because of this, the accuracy of generated responses cannot be reliably or independently verified, a challenge for businesses, especially when models create inaccurate or misleading “hallucinations.” To function effectively within a business context, natural language chat experiences must be able to answer questions by referencing curated sets of knowledge. Yext addresses this with the Knowledge Graph, a headless content management system (CMS) that uses entity relationships to optimize an organization’s content for voice search, chatbots, and other sophisticated AI. Yext Chat generates answers with content stored in the Knowledge Graph, which allows businesses to confirm that responses are accurate and grounded in real-world information. With Search Term Clustering and other robust analytics, Yext customers can easily identify and fill content gaps by adding new content to the Knowledge Graph, creating a flywheel where organizations can continually improve their answers and refine Yext Chat experiences based on the questions being asked. The company has been infusing AI and large language models throughout its Answers Platform since the launch of its Search product in 2019. Yext Search, known for its differentiated multi-algorithm approach, leverages fine-tuned versions of BERT, DistilBERT, and MPNET to understand natural language and return relevant results from structured and unstructured content sources. AI Data Cleaning, Search Term Clustering, and additional generative features in development use GPT-3 and BLOOM, although the exact LLMs underpinning the technology may change. Announcement • Jan 13
