This is really cool. Website design is killer and looks beautiful. I tried "Who married the 51st president?" which didn't work but when I tried "Who married Barack Obama?" it responded correctly.

I then tried "Who married the president?" and got the correct responses also.

The only thing I would change is at the bottom of the Plasticity demo you should have a big sign up button. And a link to your documentation.

Obama was the 44th (really 43rd if you count by people instead of presidencies) President.

Those queries don't work either.

You're right, it's on the roadmap for Cortex along with: 1) ordered queries ("Who is the 44th president?") 2) comparison queries ("Is Bill Gates older than Steve Ballmer?") 3) simple logic queries (AND/OR) 4) reducing overfitting (the system's tendency to respond with any answer even though it may not have an accurate one)

Thanks! That's good feedback on the layout, we're changing it now!

Also I would make the ability to do custom queries on the Cortex demo more prevalant (maybe a custom button?).

Makes sense, we haven't really optimized the ease-of-use of our demos / documentation yet, but are going to work on that soon.
