Wolfram Alpha: Computational Knowledge

Wolfram Alpha is an incredibly powerful computational knowledge engine that allows users to submit a question, and answers the question with a comprehensive answer, whether it's geography, history, mathematics, earth science and physics.

With the Wolfram Alpha block, you can harness the power of the Wolfram Alpha API in your real-time data streams, allowing users to submit questions and receive answers in real time. You can build Q&A functionality directly into a chat app, collaborative environment, or education app, to name a few.
