About us

We are the sworn enemies of information overload

Our mission here at Pluribo is to help people understand information faster.

One area where information overload can be particularly painful is when sorting through product reviews. When you're researching which digital camera to buy or which toaster is best for your kitchen, there's just too much information out there. Although Amazon's millions of reviews are a terrific way of learning about other people's real-life experiences, reading all those reviews can be extremely time-consuming.

Certainly, we thought, there must be a way to use technology to make better sense of all those opinions. Rather than having to read through endless reviews and manually figure out the most important lessons, wouldn't it be nice if they could be summarized automatically? Could there be some way of boiling down all those opinions into a single collective voice? In that moment, when we asked ourselves that question, Pluribo was born.

Towards this goal, we've spent the last year building a novel system that can automatically read reviews and generate an accurate summary. Our technology builds on decades of research in Artificial Intelligence. But don't worry about all the technical details. All that matters is that Pluribo can save you time and help you more quickly discover key insights from user reviews. Take the extra hours of your life that you've liberated and enjoy them. Only then will we consider ourselves a success.

The origin of our name

Our company's name is derived from the latin phrase "E Pluribus Unum", which means "Out of many, one." It reflects our belief that to form the best overall opinion, we should harness the power of many independent perspectives.

Pluribo was founded in 2007 and is based in New York City.
