History

TUKI started out as a simple backend system for automating searches and information retrieval between editors and journalists.

However, with the improvement of virtual assistants in smart phones and computers TUKI was eventually opened to the public in 2017.[1]

By December 2017, Tuki was operating under its own branding on a small number of news sites and apps offering question and answer forums “Ask Tuki” and chat bot style information retrieval interfaces “Tuki Assistant”

Most notably Al-Sahawat Times runs “Ask Tuki” software on their official site as a members’ peer-to-peer questions and answer service.

TUKI Assistant

First developed purely as an internal reference system for newspaper editors and journalists, TUKI Assistant is an Artificial intelligence program that integrates with websites, devices and Virtual assistant (artificial intelligence) programs to deliver a customized voice, handwriting and text input multi-lingual interaction.[2]

In essence this means that the program, which is now aimed at corporate and governmental solutions can provide additional device control and information layered into existing systems such as siri.[3][4]

Ask TUKI

"Ask TUKI anything. A unique combination of artificial intelligence, field experts and moderated peer to peer communities answer for you swiftly." [5]

ASK Tuki is a Question and Answer forum similar to quora and Yahoo! Answers.[6] Its key differences are that answers do not just come from peer-to-peer users but also paid, industry experts and artificial intelligence.[7]

Users are graded on a 7 level system, bronze, silver, gold, platinum, diamond and verified.[8] The different membership levels relate to the ratio of positive feedback and verified answers.[9]

Ownership

TUKI, operates on Al-Sahawat Times official website and is a fully integrated system within the Newspaper. Al-Sahawat Times in turn is owned by The International Press and Media Group ( IPMG ). Thus TUKI is owned by IPMG

The copyrights and patent for TUKI is registered to the Chief executive officer of IPMG Sheikh. Dr. Shamsaldin Qais Sulayman al-Said.[10]
