Psychic Searcher analyzes your content and delivers you with relevant resources. Psychic Searcher breaks the traditional ideas of having the user initiate the gathering of resources, by showing relevant items as the user is writing. Imagine if you were a student writing a paper. Psychic Searcher could analyze what you were writing about and deliver you with the news articles, images, and search results that you need to write your paper.

Psychic Searcher is just an example how what can be done with context analysis. Ideally a tool like Psychic Searcher would be integrated into a text editor like Microsoft Word. It could be used as a tool to retrieve information and images that might be useful to the user. This could be more effective because we could do a context analysis on just the active paragraph. Psychic Searcher is by no means a replacement text editor, but is rather some exploratory development in enhancing the user’s ability to gather information asynchronously.
