Archie AI
Archie is Ƶ’s proprietary Large Language Model (“LLM”), created with the world’s only Trust data lake comprised of 20 years of Ƶ’s Trust Barometer survey research and augmented with 3 million new pieces of content every day from 200 different brands, all controlled and audited by Ƶ’s data science team.
Archie powers Ƶ’s Trust Stream product, the firm’s custom-built trust management platform that tracks how trust is moving in the moment, effectively bridging the gap from trust insight to trust action with precision and predictability. Archie can provide comms leaders with real-time, trust-building recommendations with up to 97% accuracy, enabling actionability so that communicators will know what to do in the moment to drive results and performance.
Archie provides massively more flexibility when it comes to answering the question – “what drives trust?” – identifying how a brand’s real-time trust score is impacted by which social platform its messaging is being shared on, in which media outlet, by which journalist, and soon, by which audience (investor, employee, consumer) is receiving it. With Archie, Ƶ’s teams are able to very quickly diagnose how trust is being created or diminished, and advise what type of comms action to take to rectify or enhance it.
