ChaCha is an example of the fusion of computer technology & human intelligence. Live human guides are available to provide additional assistance.

ChaCha’s goal is to provide a better search experience by combining results that are hand-picked by their human guides with computer-generated search results. In those cases where you can’t find what you need with their results, ChaCha will connect you with a live human guide who will find the information for you through an instant messaging-style search session.

Scott Jones and Brad Bostic, two entrepreneurs who were not satisfied with millions of irrelevant search results provided by first generation search engines, believed a better experience could be created by tapping into human intelligence. Since starting ChaCha, they have been working to create:

• A search engine that “learns” by tapping into human intelligence so its results are always improving
• A place to find exactly what you’re looking for instantly
• Help from people who are knowledgeable about the very thing you are looking for when instant results don’t have the answer

With ChaCha, you get regular search results and you have the option to search with a Guide who can help find your result. So try their experiment -today- and have some fun; Cha-Cha-Cha!
