Adelaide is not Forbes' first venture into AI. In 2019, they created Bertie, an AI tool that offered writing style suggestions to Forbes journalists. In 2021, they released ForbesOne, a machine learning platform for personalized user recommendations. Both Adelaide and Bertie were built using Google Cloud tools. Forbes plans to eventually expand Adelaide's knowledge base to its entire archive, dating back to 1917.
