Why is AVA unique?
Unlike regular search engines, AVA (ai):
- Is focused and curated: Draws only from World Bank research and selected volumes—no internet noise.
- Provides synthesis, not search results: Distills and connects insights across documents.
- Is multilingual: Just type your query in your language of choice and view the insights in the same language.
- Is transparent by design: All answers are cited and traceable, so you can verify and trust what you find.
- Knows what it doesn’t know: If a question falls outside the library or isn’t clearly framed, AVA (ai) lets you know—no guesswork.
Watch how it works—how to ask questions, get synthesized insights, and trace answers directly to trusted World Bank reports.
