The best questions you’ve asked the Dazed Archive (so far)

The custom AI-powered search engine is here to take you through stories, guides and interviews from Dazed’s three decades of covering fashion, photography, music and culture at large

On February 13, Dazed launched the Dazed Archive, a custom AI-powered search engine designed to explore captivating stories, exclusive interviews, and expert advice to ignite creativity, streamline workflows and foster innovation. Presented by Lenovo Yoga and imagined with Intel, the catalogue combines a unique blend of inspiration and practical guidance – informed by Dazed’s 30 years of covering fashion, photography, music and culture at large and a set of new rules for creativity written by Dazed editors. 

You can speak to the Dazed Archive like a normal chatbot or search engine. If you ask how to get your writing published, write a winning pitch, improve your photography or even style your show, it will effortlessly source reference material and help you develop innovative concepts. At Dazed Archive Live on February 15, New York attendees typed their own burning questions into the tool.
