Axios HQ — the team that “makes internal comms work” with
software, training, and strategic consulting — has developed a
groundbreaking AI-powered assistant to enhance its software. It is
built for communicators by communicators.
- The assistant merges a decade of Axios and Axios HQ's
human expertise with cutting-edge AI, proprietary data, and modern
communication best practices.
- It launched less than eight months after HQ hired its
first Head of Machine Learning to define the next phase of its
generative AI strategy.
What makes HQ’s assistant unique: Most AI is a taxonomy
of internet data. HQ’s assistant is a taxonomy of the human mind —
categorizing the insights that its journalists, strategists, and
comms consultants have tested for years and proven can help any
organization strengthen its internal comms strategy, better achieve
its business goals, and amplify its workforce connection.
What it can do:
- Offer strategic advice. It can analyze your ongoing
communications and remind you about topics you haven’t touched in a
while or a project it’s time to share updates on.
- Analyze lengthy content. It can turn any text — like a
report or meeting transcript — into an outline for an upcoming
communication.
- Coach key collaborators. Whether they start with a draft
or just an idea, it can help them write a quality update on any
topic that’s important to the organization.
- Refine updates for your audience. It can work with you
to flesh out your updates, adding details that matter to your
readers and removing the others that don’t.
Axios HQ CEO Roy Schwartz: “We’ve created a tool that
businesses didn’t know they needed, and now organizations are
telling us they can’t live without. That comes down to quality. A
large, growing dataset of best-in-class communications underpins
our assistant’s advice — which can only improve over time. Better
yet, each customer has their own version of our assistant, so the
more they use it, the more tailored its advice will be to their
goals and their audience.”
HQ’s first Chief Product Officer is ready to drive the
next phase of growth, too. Paul Pedrazzi joined the company this
month, bringing more than 20 years of product innovation and
leadership experience from orgs like Salesforce, CA Technologies,
Achievers, Taleo, and more.
- “This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Every
industry is figuring out the role AI should play in its businesses.
AI is proving to be incredibly powerful, but communication is still
most effective with a human touch. So the challenge is: How do we
combine both — IQ and EQ — in an elegant way that elevates
professional communicators?”
- “HQ’s assistant nails the first step — elevating the
quality and clarity of communication. The next phase will be to
bake in our proprietary guidance on communication strategy,
planning, and measurement, to support communicators at every
step.”
The bottom line: Axios HQ, the Smart Brevity guidance
inside it, and the assistant joining its feature set have the power
to amplify any professional communicator’s experience. It is the
go-to solution for more than 700 organizations that trust it to
improve the quality of their internal comms, enhance reader
engagement, drive productivity, and build better business
outcomes.
