So much is happening with AI that is groundbreaking these days that I feel it is a good time to share our current thinking. With our upcoming Affino Innovation Briefing, our thoughts are very much on the coming year and how Affino’s evolution is shaping up, and AI is a big part of that.
For the past couple of years there has been quite a lot of pushback within the Affino community against the time and effort we have spent on core AI R&D, and launching Affino’s Expert AI services. That is ...
Summer is upon us, and we have a great new Affino update, full of feature updates requested by the Affino community. The release is focused on a myriad of little things that add up to something much bigger in terms of making everything just that bit more productive, useful, and easier to use every day for your teams and your audiences.
Highlights include more productive Ad management and support for Ads.txt; a more productive AI training and support service; the ability to embargo breaking ...
This release sees improvements in many aspects across Affino that will benefit everyone, enhancing the speed and usability across many Affino services.
Affino’s AI services are now significantly faster, better and nicer looking, and for the first time Affino’s Expert AI Service is aware of the full conversation you are having.
We have made some important updates to the message click stats, mailing list subscriber import, and subscriptions, amongst others. In general working with ...
This update sees the introduction of Affino’s AI Services, the core of which is the ability to turn your content into interactive chat AI’s. It is possible to set up AI prototypes within minutes and then train up and deploy full scale expert, support or indeed entertainment AI’s in short order trained from your articles and forum threads. Simply set up each AI using the AI Profiles and make each one live on their own dedicated AI Channel. You can then launch a whole suite of AI’s which can work...
The Affino Team wishes you a Very Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year!
Thank you ever so much for your continued support in 2023 and we look forward to working with you again in the new year.
2023 has been another rollercoaster year for most of us, something which has been on repeat for the past few years. We just had the major success of COP28 where for the first time there is an agreement to move away from fossil fuels, it is incredible it has taken this long to get here, but it’s great ...
As we have done for a few years now, we ran a roundtable at this year’s PPA Independent Publisher Conference. As usual it was very well attended and quite buzzy. We thought the AI session was excellent and informative and really appreciated the 90 second pitch we had the opportunity to deliver prior to the AI session.
The round table itself was repeated twice - with some great publishers represented by a very good set of media pros. It was great to meet with you all, and I look forward to ...
Affino 9 introduces the next generation of the Affino SaaS Service. This year has seen the biggest technical shift in Affino for over a decade, and after thirty five updates to Affino 8 we are introducing the first version of Affino 9. It is a radical shift to a new generation of open source technologies with a firm AI and Open Source foundation.
2023 has been an exciting year and feels like the coming of age for AI as a Service (AaaS) and together with the rapid maturity of AI foundational...
This year has seen the biggest technical shift in Affino for over a decade, and after thirty five updates to Affino 8 we will be launching Affino 9 this autumn / fall.
Affino 9 might look the same but it will be running on a transformed infrastructure which will significantly accelerate future evolution.
We have seen four major tech paradigm shifts over the course of Affino’s evolution:
It is ...
Affino has a long history of bringing new life and value to content produced by media groups, whether it be The Stage’s outstanding theatre reviews, the decades of breaking travel news from TTG Media, or the deep insight provided by Drewry to the word’s leading shippers.
Affino’s publishing and media business SaaS platform provides a unified means for media companies to publish, store, distribute - via web, print, messaging, apps, feeds and APIs, and now via custom AI user interfaces.

The first step of the audience engagement funnel is often the most important one. When it comes to websites that often comes down to SEO, and how well your site works with the marketing and bot ecosystem, and increasingly how it works with AI’s.
This update focuses a great deal on improving how Affino and your digital presence works with the global bot ecosystem. Affino pages are now served more intelligently to bots, with improved meta data and sitemaps, and they can inform bots which ...
"Having all content and e-commerce functionality on one platform is proving highly successful. For the reader, they have a better all-round experience and more immersive engagement, where they never need to re-enter details already provided at registration."
"We're Very, Very, Very, Very Happy with our Branding and Website and really appreciate how it just all works super smoothly and efficiently all of the time."
"Affino worked with Drewry to deliver on an uncompromising and complex brief - which covered responsive CMS, fully integrated CRM, messaging, product fulfilment and subscription management. We have been impressed with the solution which has helped transform our approach to marketing and business development."
"Affino worked with TTG to deliver its new responsive-design digital business. The new solution gives TTG a more dynamic edge in an increasingly competitive environment."
"Affino worked with Briefing Media to deliver the new responsive-design FG-Insight digital business. The forward evolution of Farmers Guardian matches the increasingly important role technology plays in modern farming."
"Whilst we have always been able to see which articles have been the most popular, the new Article Report functionality allows us to instantly see which types of audiences are reading a particular article without setting up conversion events. To retrospectively interrogate this data has been a godsend and has given us a more detailed view of audience engagement with absolute ease."
"Working with Affino has been instrumental in creating the very best environment for us to engage fully with our readership.”
"Icelandair Cargo has been with Affino since 2005. Our internal customer web based on the Affino platform is well received and widely used by our customers and interacts via webservices with our Cargo Systems. The web has been upgraded throughout the years both technically and with more functionality added. Affino always delivers professionally and as promised."
"We worked with Affino for almost two years on a major website build and platform migration. It was an extremely complex project involving many bespoke elements. Affino were thoroughly responsive and communicated well throughout and their team were friendly and willing to help us achieve our ambitious goals. We’re very pleased with the modern and professional look and feel of the new website and users have been similarly impressed. Several of the bespoke elements added to the database platform have enhanced our ability to analyse our data and the platform works smoothly and reliably. Affino’s work has helped us to scale up our operations as well as grow and strengthen our brand."
"A very easy to use and highly functional experience, the new site looks fantastic - we've ended up with a great final product after a really positive and smooth running operation. Affino's support was highly responsive and always there when we needed it. And it was heartening to be on the receiving end of so much positivity from the readership"
"Affino always delivers on budget and on time!"
