WolframAlpha (/ˈwʊlf.rəm-/WUULf-rəm-) is an answer engine developed by Wolfram Research.[3] It is offered as an online service that answers factual queries by computing answers from externally sourced data.[4][5]
WolframAlpha was released on May 18, 2009, and is based on Wolfram's earlier product Wolfram Mathematica, a technical computing platform.[1] WolframAlpha gathers data from academic and commercial websites such as the CIA's The World Factbook, the United States Geological Survey, a Cornell University Library publication called All About Birds, Chambers Biographical Dictionary, Dow Jones, the Catalogue of Life,[3] CrunchBase,[6] Best Buy,[7] and the FAA to answer queries.[8] A Spanish language version was launched in 2022.[9]
