WHO THIS IS FOR
Food and drink insight teams and NPD leaders navigating fast-moving trends
You run a trends platform, brand portal, or innovation hub where food and drink professionals query foresight reports, menu analytics, and category research daily — and static PDF libraries cannot keep pace with how fast the industry moves. Your buyers are insight directors and product leaders who need AI grounded in proprietary research, not generic web summaries.

THE SITUATION
Trend cycles move faster than quarterly report reviews
Brand teams, NPD leads, and analysts need living resources that connect global trendspotting to the questions their business asks today. Search across thousands of report pages returns noise. Building AI that learns what matters to each user and company — while respecting enterprise permissions — is months of engineering before a single client sees value.
HOW IT WORKS
Foresight your teams can query, cite, and share
Content streams across categories and regions
Research organised into browsable streams — by category, region, and publication date — with contextual search that previews results inline and opens full reports without losing context. Search alerts notify teams when new content matches the topics they track.
AI personalised to each user and organisation
Recommendations surface reports relevant to role and reading history. Company AI profiles and generative research projects answer bespoke foresight questions grounded in each organisation's own documents, URLs, and strategic snippets — not generic prompts.
Branded report building from curated insight
Teams curate trendhub content into client-ready reports with cover customisation and colleague sharing — the same insight analysts use internally, packaged for the boardroom with cited sources.
Enterprise permissions and tiered subscriptions
Tiered access, company folders, and user management ensure proprietary foresight stays within the organisations that paid for it. Each enterprise client maintains isolated AI profiles and document sets within one white-label deployment.
Usage-based billing with AI credits
Enterprise customers control AI credits and profiles across teams — platform operators bill subscribers separately based on query volume and generative usage.
