OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What specific goals or objectives did you hire Stack Digital to accomplish?
- As a leading source of geopolitical risk insights, Foreign Brief continuously strives to enhance our analytical capabilities and improve the efficiency of our content production. Given the rapidly evolving nature of global affairs, we required a robust AI solution that could assist in data aggregation, trend identification, and predictive analysis, all while seamlessly integrating into our existing workflow. Our primary goal in hiring Stack Digital was to develop an AI-driven solution that would streamline the process of analyzing large datasets, extracting relevant geopolitical insights, and ultimately reducing the time required for our analysts to deliver high-quality assessments. We sought a system that could process vast amounts of information from various sources, identify emerging trends, and even suggest potential risk factors that might otherwise be overlooked. Additionally, we wanted the AI system to complement our team’s expertise rather than replace human judgment—enhancing decision-making without compromising the accuracy and depth of our assessments. Given Stack Digital’s reputation for cutting-edge AI solutions and their deep understanding of the publishing industry, they were the ideal partner for this initiative.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
What truly sets Stack Digital apart is their ability to deeply understand the nuances of our industry and tailor their AI solution accordingly. Many tech firms provide generic AI tools, but Stack Digital took the time to study our workflow, comprehend the complexities of geopolitical analysis, and design a system that felt like a natural extension of our team. Their ability to bridge the gap between AI capabilities and human expertise was remarkable.
Additionally, their commitment to user experience was evident—not only was the AI system highly effective, but it was also intuitive and easy to use, ensuring that our analysts could leverage its full potential without a steep learning curve.
Are there any areas for improvement or something Stack Digital could have done differently?
While our experience with Stack Digital was overwhelmingly positive, one area for improvement could be in their initial onboarding documentation. While they provided thorough training, a more detailed user manual or interactive onboarding experience would have further eased the transition for our team. That said, their hands-on support made up for this, and they were always available to answer questions and provide additional training where needed.
