We are excited for you to try our agent, Halley, your first step into the Ergodic platform.
We built Halley specifically for individuals who are interested in adopting artificial intelligence into their organisation; however, are hesitant, whether feeling lost on where to begin or wanting to learn more about what AI can actually do for them before taking the deep dive in.
This article will outline the steps of using Halley and take a look at how we intend to deliver our product vision beyond Halley. But, of course, if you want to get started right away first: Click Here to Register Your Free Account!
The first step with Halley, after registering your account, is entering your profile. This begins with a few easy steps including: providing your LinkedIn profile URL and company website. Halley will then generate a summary of your company and individual profile.
Don't worry if your current job responsibilities or focuses have changed since last updating your LinkedIn– Halley offers you the ability to review and add details to any generated information.
Halley utilises your profile information to tailor each question and suggestion specifically to your role and organisation for a personalised experience. Therefore, each suggested action is one you should be able to readily implement in the capacity of your role.
After understanding your profile, Halley will lead you through a number of questions to explore your problems, challenges, and objectives. Each question is specifically attuned to your profile and the context of your previous responses to create an action plan to address your objective.
Stemming from an initial general objective or problem you are currently focused on, Halley deep dives to learn about the different factors relating to your challenges, including initiatives that may have previously yielded fruitful results or actions you have not yet had the opportunity to fully explore. By understanding the context of your actions and your capacity for new initiatives, Halley then hones in on how you measure progress. Your KPIs are important to ensure Halley provides you with a plan that prioritises the most impactful and measurable decisions to drive success.
By thoroughly exploring your objectives and challenges, Halley is able to provide you a prescriptive plan that can drive real results.
After learning the scope of your actions and organisation’s goals, Halley creates your orbit. Your initial summary orbit includes: a diagram illustrating how each initiative is interconnected to progress you to your goals, a detailed breakdown of your KPIs, an action plan highlighting the key initiatives to improve those KPIs.
First, taking a look at our Influence Diagram, each node represents how each initiative is connected to leveraging your KPIs, so you can see the real impact of your actions for your enterprise.
Second, the summary breakdown of your KPIs focus on the measurement and data sources related to an individual KPI. Halley connects the measurement and data source to best evaluate the specific metric on the enterprise, department, team, or individual level.
Finally, your detailed action plan draft provides valuable insight into the key initiatives that will have the greatest impact on your KPIs and help you get started. As Halley expands, you will be able to execute and monitor these actions within the Ergodic Platform.
Halley is only your first step into the developing Ergodic Platform. We are continuing to build and incorporate new tools to develop Halley into a super agent that can work on any data to execute action plans.
As we continue to bolster Halley’s capabilities, you can look forward to many new and exciting enhancements:
Orbits are your AI-first workspace: the user interface provides an intuitive way to utilise, query and action your data – without the need for a PhD in mathematics.
Information is generally stored in a messy manner and there is an abundance of rich context in unstructured data – which makes up over 90% of enterprise data – from word documents to powerpoint presentations, spreadsheets, videos, and audios. Through developing Halley to represent all enterprise data - whether structured or unstructured - in ontologies and knowledge graph, users will have the ability to rapidly analyse thousands of different sources, enhancing the power of decision-making by creating links and understanding the shortest path from action to success.
The possibilities are limitless – think of the wealth of external knowledge that can also be brought to bear on such problems across Google, arXiv, bioRxiv, PubMed, the Archives of the Federal Reserve and so on – Halley will be able to access that knowledge and understand which information are relevant for your objective. Ultimately, using that cumulative information to create reports and summaries, as well as refining that knowledge into relevant actions and initiatives.
Every company has processes that are followed, ranging from manufacturing lines to product development operations. We are in the process of empowering Halley with the capability to analyze complex processes. The aptitude to understand processes will allow Halley to understand and reason why failures are occurring, subsequently suggesting potential improvements within the system.
We view this process intelligence essential for enterprises to strengthen their internal processes to become more resilient, as well as responsive to external factors.

You may have wondered, where did Halley get their name? We’re glad you’re curious: Halley is named after Halley's Comet discovered by Edmond Halley in 1758. Halley is a periodic comet that orbits** the sun and returns to Earth's inner solar system approximately every 75 years.
For a fun fact, Halley was most recently in our inner solar system in 1986 – coincidentally our CTO Andrej Nikonov’s birth year!
