"I was working on a blog about the gender landscape in Sierra Leone, and Sabi made it so much easier than I expected. Usually, you'd be jumping between different websites, reports, PDFs, and trying to piece everything together. With Sabi, everything was just there in one place. I didn't have to spend time hunting for information at all. I could focus on how I wanted to structure the blog and what story I wanted to tell, and then just pull the information I needed straight away. It really helped me concentrate on the thinking and writing, rather than the searching."

"I was creating a diagram highlighting the differences between weak and strong sustainability. I wanted to see how these ideas look in practice — the reality on the ground, not just in theory. What does substituting natural capital with human capital actually look like, and what does conserving natural capital look like in policy terms? Sabi was a game-changer for me. I went on there and asked Sabi for examples of weak and strong sustainability policies. Not only did it give me a list of relevant policies, it also explained why each policy would fall into either category. As I narrowed down the two policies I wanted to focus on, Sabi also highlighted the tensions — between weak and strong sustainability in theory, and the tensions that arise in implementation. I could then use this information to create a comparison table. It helped me think much more critically; It honestly felt like having a really smart research assistant who understands context — and it was much faster than searching the web for policies."

"Honestly, Sabi has been incredibly handy for my day-to-day work. Just the other day I had a journalist and a company sitting with me, and the journalist was saying they didn't have the policy information they needed from the company. Normally, I'd have had to say, 'Okay, go back to your office, find the policy, bring it back,' and everything slows down. Instead, I just went straight onto Sabi, pulled up the relevant policies there and then, and we could keep the conversation moving. What was especially useful was that I could actually see both the original policy and the revised version. I could choose exactly which one I needed for that situation and just get on with my job. It saved time, avoided back-and-forth, and made the whole process much smoother."
