Does AIQ have historical data from before I started tracking?
Quick answer
No. AIQ data starts from the moment a topic is created. AI engines cannot be queried retroactively, so the earlier a topic is set up, the more history is available.
AI engines do not preserve a queryable history of what they said yesterday, so neither does AIQ. The platform begins collecting data the moment a topic is created. This is one of the practical reasons we recommend setting up topics for a brand and its key executives before a crisis arrives rather than after, and one of the reasons we set up exploratory topics for clients during onboarding even before strategy is finalized – the baseline data starts accumulating immediately.
