What's New - February 2025

Shaping Tomorrow has kicked-off 2025 with the launch of Future Agents.

Transforming Foresight with AI Agents

Imagine a roundtable of characters from diverse backgrounds - technology, economics, market, services & product specialists, innovation, policy and more -  all engaged in a debate not only about the future, but in the future. Now, imagine these experts are not real people, but Shaping Tomorrow’s AI-powered Future Agents, working tirelessly to provide insights, challenge assumptions, and guide your business decisions. And on top of this, imagine that the conversation can be set to take place in any future year e.g. 2030, 2035 or whatever may suit your needs better. And in any language! 

There are many ways the Agents can support and enhance your foresight and strategy work. The possibilities are almost endless.

Click to Set Up your Team of Characters 

By clicking on the new Future Agents (2) button after you’ve done a scan (1), you activate your Future Agents and you engage your AI agents by letting them know your aspects of interest by submitting the simple pop-up form.

The form is pre-filled and provides you the opportunity to adjust it to your interest. You can also upload file(s) which you will then be able to ask the agents to comment on or refer to. The files can be written in any language!

Then click Set up Agents (3)

You communicate with your agents by asking questions in the text box (5).

Other useful commands - You can:

• add more participants  at any time, each with a specific role, and with any cultural or regional background.

  • e.g. "add an Indian regulator”

• change the timeframe of the conversation

  • e.g. "switch the time to 2040”

• change the language

  • e.g. "Switch to [language]”

You can ask the set of agents anything you want by asking particular characters by name or you can address the group just by asking something like "Hi team…”

Or, you can click any of the Follow Ups.

Or, you can click Key Questions to ask any one of a number of presets. 

After the dialogue has progressed, you will notice two additional buttons at the bottom:

We are very excited about the potential uses for this new aspect of the platform, and we look forward to hearing and learning from your feedback.
