TERAGRAM ANNOUNCES UPGRADE TO MOBILE, "CONVERSATIONAL" SEARCH SYSTEM MyGADs.com

Allows Users to Customize Applications, Create Personalized 'Answering' Search Engines for Mobile and Internet

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - November 28, 2007 - Teragram, the leading provider of multilingual natural language processing technologies, today announced a significant upgrade to MyGADs.com, a new service that allows anybody to create, access and share personalized information through the Web, cell phone text message or through IM chat. MyGADs is a conversational system that lets its members "talk" to select applications - such as a calendar - either on a mobile device or online. Users interact with the system by entering natural language queries into a simple chat window. In addition, enterprise users can download a new BlackBerry application for MyGADs that installs the program directly on to their mobile device, eliminating the need to connect to a mobile Web browser.

The MyGADs upgrade includes a new online user interface, which consists of easily movable icons, or widgets, that represent customizable GAD applications. Examples of available applications include a to-do list, calendar, calculator, blog hosting engine, Web page editor or notepad. Using these applications, MyGADs members can store and retrieve their own personal information, connect to outside applications such as Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint, and search pre-loaded databases for localized weather, calculators/conversions, encyclopedia definitions and more.

"Mobile search has been largely unsuccessful because cell phone and BlackBerry users can't find information with the limited screen real estate," said Dr. Yves Schabes, president and co-founder of Teragram Corporation. "That's why conversational systems like MyGADs are so important, and will become the next generation of search for mobile devices. Until now, there haven't been mobile search applications that have been able to scan information in your computer and return a simple answer to your question. The MyGADs system is a portal to all of your personal and enterprise information, or a way to 'chat' with your computer while you're on the go."
