OODA network members have access to an extensive repository of research and analysis on the impact of technology on geopolitics, business strategy and cybersecurity. This human generated, expert vetted information created to inform decisions of our membership, and has always been available by both search and topical categorization. These insights now form the foundation of an advanced AI solution that brings more value to our members via an advanced Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) solution we call OODA AI. Members can ask for automated research and summarization on any topic covered by our domain of knowledge and receive results based on human vetted information, speeding the ability of our members to orient to any topic, assess, analyze and decide. Results include direct links to references for deeper dives into the underlying research behind the summarization.

To use OODA AI, visit OODAloop.com and enter any request in the “Ask OODA AI” box. Select concept search for a short overview of the topic. Executive Summary provides a deeper dive. Select “White Paper” for a result formatted for dissemination to others. Each result will also display a list of references to view the information the summary is grounded on.

From our press release:

Built on advanced retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) architecture, OODA AI allows users to query across the entire corpus of OODA content, including long-form research and analysis on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, energy technology, biotechnology, defense innovation, disruptive technology companies, and geopolitical risk. By combining state-of-the-art AI summarization with OODALoop.com curated research, the system delivers precise, actionable insights backed by authoritative sources.

Key Features of OODA AI include:

• AI-Powered Summarization Across All OODA Content: From executive briefs to deep-dive reports, OODA AI instantly distills complex analysis into concise, decision-ready insights.
• Vetted Source Linking: Every AI-generated response includes direct links to the underlying OODA research that informed the result, ensuring transparency and verifiability.
• Real-Time Intelligence Advantage: Continuous ingestion of new OODA reporting ensures users are accessing the most recent and relevant insights into fast-moving domains like AI, quantum computing, space, biotech, and global security.
• Conversational Analysis: Members can interact with OODA AI in natural language, refining queries and drilling down into key issues without needing to form complex queries or manually read through large numbers of results.
• Contextual Accuracy via RAG: By leveraging retrieval-augmented generation, the system grounds responses in the exact content of OODA’s vetted research, minimizing hallucination risk and preserving analytic rigor.
• Cross-Domain Insight Integration: OODA AI surfaces connections across technology, business, and geopolitical analysis to highlight emerging patterns, opportunities, and risks.
• Scalable Intelligence for Executives and Analysts: Whether for board-level briefings, policy planning, or operational decision-making, OODA AI empowers leaders with trusted, context-rich intelligence at speed.

“OODA AI represents a major step forward in making our research more accessible, actionable, and transparent,” said Matt Devost, CEO of OODA. “Capitalizing on over 20 years of human analysis and curation and combining it with the latest generation of AI technology we are equipping our members to make faster, better-informed decisions in an era defined by disruptive technology and global competition.”

OODA AI leverages the powerful capabilities of Vectara, a trusted leader in secure neural information retrieval and generation, to deliver grounded, contextually accurate answers with links to the exact OODA research that informed them. This ensures results that are both highly useful and transparently sourced.

Commenting on the deployment of this enterprise-grade application, Eva Nahari, Chief Product Officer of Vectara, added “OODA’s adoption of Vectara to power OODA AI demonstrates how expert human judgment and retrieval–augmented GenAI together can give decision–makers a faster path from question to defensible, well-cited answer.”

OODA AI is now available to members of the OODA Network as part of the community’s growing suite of tools for anticipating change and seizing opportunity.
