Answers in Orbita uses a highly interconnected database that stores, processes and queries connections efficiently. Answers in Orbita bases its replies to the user's questions on the stored context that are suggestions and its related topics. Answers can be integrated with Experience Designer using the Answers Manager node.

The following image provides a basic flow that uses the Answers Manager node.
