Natural Language Generation (NLG) is a subset of AI that generates human-like text from data or machine comprehension, supporting content creation and conversational interfaces.
Natural Language Generation (NLG) is an AI field dedicated to generating human-readable text from structured data or machine understanding. Unlike Natural Language Processing (NLP), which focuses on understanding human language, NLG is about language creation—transforming data, insights, or computational results into coherent, contextually suitable written or spoken content that feels natural to human readers.
NLG fuels numerous applications:
In search and content strategy, NLG technologies enable scalable content solutions and power conversational search interfaces. As search engines increasingly employ AI for generating search results and featured snippets, understanding NLG assists content creators in predicting how machines construct and present information to users.
