- John Davie founded Buyers Edge Platform and later created CollectivIQ to address concerns about AI hallucinations and data leakage.
- CollectivIQ queries up to ten LLMs—including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Grok, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI—simultaneously and fuses overlapping answers to improve accuracy.
- CollectivIQ encrypts all prompt data and charges customers based on usage rather than long‑term contracts.
- CollectivIQ began internal rollout at Buyers Edge Platform in early 2026 and was subsequently released publicly to customers facing similar AI adoption challenges.
- John Davie fully funded the spin‑out and plans to seek external capital later in 2026.
- CollectivIQ pays for token costs itself, allowing customers to only pay for the value they receive.
Why it matters: Enterprises gain a secure, multi‑LLM answer service that reduces hallucinations and protects proprietary data, while paying only for actual usage instead of costly long‑term contracts. This shifts AI procurement from fixed‑price licensing to a flexible, value‑based model, pressuring incumbent providers to address accuracy and pricing.
