Why Choose Quincy?
Quincy isn't just another AI tool — it's a platform built exclusively for quality professionals. Unlike other AI solutions, Quincy is trained on ASQ's proprietary content, meaning it offers insights and solutions you won't find anywhere else.
What Is Quincy?
Quincy is ASQ's AI-powered large language model (LLM) assistant. Trained exclusively on ASQ's proprietary content, Quincy helps ASQ members access instant answers and tailored solutions to their quality challenges. Think of Quincy as a 24/7 knowledge concierge, offering personalized responses and guidance developed from decades of ASQ resources.
Inside Quincy's Knowledge
|
What Quincy Knows
|
What Quincy Doesn't Know
|
|
Quincy is trained on ASQ's extensive body of knowledge, including:
• Content from Quality Progress, Lean & Six Sigma Review, Six Sigma Forum Magazine, Quality Management Journal, and the Journal of Quality Technology
• Archives of the Journal for Quality and Participation and Software Quality Professional
• World Conference on Quality and Improvement proceedings
• Dozens of Quality Press books, including The Quality Toolbox, 3rd ed. and The Leader's Playbook
• Hundreds of ASQ website pages, including Quality Resources, Learn About Quality, and the Quality Glossary
|
While incredibly advanced, Quincy has limitations:
• It cannot access information outside of its training (e.g., webinar links, training dates and locations, specific author details, or event updates)
• It has not been trained on content that ASQ does not own
• It has no access to member accounts or other personal information
• It has trained on limited myASQ content
• Real-time learning is not possible; Quincy must retrain periodically to include new ASQ content
Quincy works in tandem with ASQ's website search, which can supplement your information needs.

Why Didn't Quincy Answer My Question?
There are several reasons why Quincy may not answer your question, including:
You may not be logged in as an ASQ member.
• Membership is required for full access to Quincy.
• Logged-in nonmembers have trial access and may ask a limited number of questions, receiving summarized responses.
• Users working with Quincy through an organizational membership have limited access. An individual membership is required for full and unlimited access.
Your query may fall outside Quincy's training content.
• For such cases, ASQ's website search can help you explore additional tools and resources.
• Quincy has no access to member accounts and cannot answer questions about them.
• Because content on myASQ changes so quickly, Quincy's training in this area has been narrower in scope.
Your request was unclear.
An effectively crafted question or prompt ensures you will receive a response that meets your needs. Review what you asked and make sure you:
• Use simple and direct language to reduce the likelihood of misunderstanding or misinterpretation.
• Provide any pertinent context or background information. If you are looking for strategies or examples, for instance, be sure to state that.
• Provide feedback to Quincy to improve and build on responses — working with Quincy is iterative.
What Makes Quincy Different From Other Generative AI Tools?
Unlike general AI tools, Quincy is trained exclusively on ASQ's proprietary content, offering insights that are unavailable on public platforms. Quincy is an example of retrieval-augmented generation, which is a type of AI that combines information retrieval with the LLM. This allows Quincy to stand out by providing additional sources and references, enabling users to explore beyond just the responses.
What If I Don't Agree With Quincy's Response?
Although Quincy has ingested a tremendous amount of content, it's not perfect. Quincy is constantly refining its capabilities. If a response doesn't meet your expectations:
• Provide feedback directly within the platform by giving it a thumbs up or down.
• Share additional details about how Quincy's response could improve, helping it learn and become more aligned with your needs.
What Languages Does Quincy Know?
While Quincy's primary language is English, it can translate and respond in many other languages. The following languages are supported:
Afrikaans, Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Icelandic, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Kannada, Kazakh, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Malay, Marathi, Maori, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swahili, Swedish, Tagalog, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Urdu, Vietnamese, and Welsh.
While Quincy will return results for languages not listed, the quality may not be as high.
