Fit by requirement
Categorize operational records
A fit for tickets, emails, invoices, product descriptions and document categories.
Lead fit
Use approved fit/not-fit categories and validate results. This is not a numerical revenue forecast.

Akkio is the more relevant shortlist for campaign planning, audience analysis and agency reporting.
Before choosing
Check whether your intended output is a category or a number. Test a category model on held-out rows before replacing a workflow, and verify how the answers enter your existing systems.

StayCharted plans and workflow
Free covers text and includes up to one AI Classifier Model. Essentials is $49/month and Business is $99/month per workspace. Pictures require Vision: +$49/month on Essentials or +$99/month on Business. Dedicated AI Models require Business. Prices are USD.
StayCharted trains and runs its own models, or uses your company’s own AI for text classification. With the Your AI Models add-on ($49/month on Essentials, $99 on Business), it uses your AI on Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Foundry, Google Cloud, OpenAI or Anthropic, gives it your categories and most similar past examples, and tests it on rows it hasn’t seen. On Business, Dedicated AI Models can also be trained in your own Amazon Bedrock; the trained model stays in your AWS account. Your own AI options
- Every training run reports accuracy on examples not used to train the model, overall and by category. Answers include confidence.
- Data-quality checks and personal-information masking before text training are available on every plan.
- On Essentials and Business, answers below your review cutoff, from files, Google Sheets, the REST API (including Zapier, Make, Power Automate and ServiceNow) and AI assistants, wait in one Review Queue; reviewed answers go into the next version’s training. Grouping unlabeled examples is also included; pictures require Vision.
- Picture checks flag near-duplicates and potentially mislabeled examples. Location metadata is stripped from the copies used by the model; original uploads are retained unchanged until deletion.
StayCharted is a hosted service: there’s no on-premises version, and it can’t import models trained elsewhere. A Builder can download a trained Dedicated AI Model (its adapter, which needs the exact base model and your own inference software), an AI Classifier Model or an AI Image Classifier Model from the model’s Manage tab. A Classifier Model runs only inside StayCharted, and a model trained in your own Amazon Bedrock is already in your AWS account.

Common questions
Is Akkio still available?
Yes. Its current site targets media agencies and data providers; its pricing page offers enterprise quotes.
Can I use the same spreadsheet?
Yes, when the inputs describe the record and the target is a category. Convert the data to a supported file and test a new model; trained models are not imported.
