One startup’s pitch to provide more reliable AI answers: crowdsource the chatbots

Summary

CollectivIQ, a Boston-based company incubated at Buyers Edge Platform, offers a tool that sends one query to several large language models, including ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and Grok, and fuses their overlapping and differing answers into a single response. The company says prompt data is encrypted and deleted after use. It began internal rollout in early 2026 and then released the software publicly.
