01 / WHY I BUILT IT

What if search started
with what you mean?

Popularity tells you what a lot of people picked. That is not always what one person is after right now.

02 / WHAT IT DOES

Overlappd starts from the qualities you are looking for rather than from what is popular. You describe the kind of thing you want, and it works from there.

03 / HOW IT WORKS
Express intentInterpret qualitiesRank candidatesRefine the search
04 / A SMALL DEMO

Pick a few qualities. Each result is ranked by how many of them it matches.

Made-up examples, ranked in your browser. Not the real Overlappd ranking.

05 / STILL FIGURING OUT

A result should be easy to explain.

How do you show that a query was ambiguous? What makes a recommendation easy to trust, or easy to dismiss? And what can someone adjust when a result is close but not right?
