How do we use A.I. to leverage human intelligence and harness the collective knowledge of a global network? Were surrounded by smart devices and machine learning tools to help organize our daily activities. So why should we step out of our smart cars and into our stupid cubicles? Enterprise apps are ubiquitous but cutting through the clutter of communication tools, forum discussions, and corporate intranets is increasingly difficult. JWTs Pangaea project addresses each of these challenges.
