FUTURE PROOF – BLOG BY FUTURES PLATFORM
We're thrilled to unveil AI Futurist, an advanced AI chatbot that offers a brand new, interactive approach to exploring futures. Built specifically for foresight use cases, AI Futurist draws directly from expert-validated foresight data on Futures Platform, which ensures that its insights are reliable, transparent and customisable.
Not just another AI text generator.
AI Futurist stands out with its in-depth understanding of foresight and its ability to adapt to each user’s strategic context and needs. Unlike generic large language models (LLMs) that pull from unfiltered data pools, AI Futurist operates based on Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). It draws data directly from Futures Platform’s expertly curated foresight database, which contains over 1,500 analyses written by professional futurists and vetted through a peer-review process.
In addition, AI Futurist also utilises knowledge stored in Futures Platform users’ personal workspaces to provide answers that are relevant and customised to each individual user. We prioritise user privacy—user data remains private, with no sharing or access across different user accounts.
