Model Fab

Where askFinz buildsits own models.

Model Fab is the part of askFinz where we make models of our own, each one shaped around a job the platform does every day. The first is Sonar, and it is coming soon inside askFinz.

SonarComing soon

askFinz's first model. It works out what something is and where it belongs.

The first model

Sonar · coming soon

Sonar keeps everything in its right place.

Sonar looks at something — a web page, a question, a message, a listing — and works out what it is and where it belongs.

Its first job is the askFinz web index: keeping it clean, well organised and free of the pages that should never reach your results. After that it moves into Search, Chat, News, Shop, Research and Mail.

The full story of Sonar

A web page

Is it real content or a dead end, and which shelf of the index does it belong on?

A question

What are you actually looking for, so the right results come back?

A message

Where should it go, and is it something you want to see at all?

A listing

Is it in the right category, and are its reviews genuine?

What every model here shares

04 rules

Built here, for here

Every model from Model Fab is made by askFinz around the work askFinz does every day, and shaped by the products it serves.

Proven before it steps in

A model takes on a job only once it has shown it does that job well. Until then, the way askFinz already works stays in charge.

Better every day

Our models keep improving as askFinz is used, and a new version only takes over when it proves better than the one already at work.

Private stays private

Models that help with private products learn how to help without learning from anyone's private messages.

Models from Model Fab live inside askFinz products. They are not sold separately, offered as an API or available to download.

On the bench

Sonar is the first. More models are in the works.

Each one will be built for a job askFinz does, and each one will arrive the same way Sonar does: quietly, inside the products you already use, once it has earned its place.

New models will be introduced here first.

Coming soon inside askFinz

Be there when Sonar arrives.

askFinz is in private access, and new accounts join in waves. Request access and you will see Sonar at work as it rolls out — first in the web index and Search, then across the platform.
