About Wiley

How Wiley works and how to get the most out of it. 

Common questions
What is Wiley?

Wiley is an AI-powered large language model educated on the AFDO website and its resources. Its knowledge base will continue to expand over time by integrating member feedback and gaining access to new resources created by AFDO. 

What can Wiley help me with?

Wiley is a powerful tool that can benefit you in myriad ways, such as: 

  • Help you find and connect with state officials, subject matter experts, and food processing authorities 
  • Quickly find information on AFDO membership benefits, as well as upcoming training and events. 
  • Locate recent AFDO meeting and training presentations, webinars, newsletters, and videos featuring topics on food, animal feed, animal health, food defense, cannabis, and more. 
What languages does Wiley know?

Wiley speaks any language commonly known on the internet. You can ask Wiley questions in the language you choose, and it will respond in the same language. 

What makes Wiley different from other AI Chat Bots?

Wiley has been trained on AFDO resources and education available through AFDO’s online content. This means Wiley can reference information that may not be widely or publicly available. Wiley also provides sources for its answers whenever possible, so you can go directly to the AFDO course, article, or resource behind the response. As a result, Wiley is a more focused and relevant tool than general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Co-Pilot. 

Tips for better results
Be specific

“How can I help better prepare my inspectors?” will get better results than “training.” 

Include your state

Guidance answers vary by state.  

One question at a time

Wiley does best with focused questions, not multi-part ones. 

Use simple language

Simple language helps ensure Wiley better understand your request.
