It was then that I came across Cognitive\u2019s Content Assistant tool &#8211; though at that time it took a little digging as the software was so new.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Cognitive\u2019s content assistant tool allowed me the opportunity to see correlated topics and missing keywords that enable the content to shine through. I\u2019m not a natural writer, I rely on others to help me edit my thoughts as many e-commerce consultants do.
