Coterie + Envive AI

Flawless Safety Meets Performance Lift
“Envive is one of the rare tools that actually delivers on both speed, trust, and results —
quick to train, compliant on claims, and drives measurable performance lift.”
— Ankur Goyal, SVP of Growth, Coterie
Context: Building Trust in an Industry Where Safety Matters Most
Coterie is a modern baby care brand known for its science-backed, parent-approved products.
Operating in a highly regulated industry, Coterie holds itself to the strictest standards — not only
in product formulation, but also in customer communication. Inaccurate or noncompliant claims
can risk brand trust and regulatory penalties. As Coterie scaled, the need for AI-powered
assistance grew — but only if it could meet the brand's exceptionally high bar for safety and
compliance.
Challenge: Launching AI Without Risking FTC Compliance
Coterie required that any AI-powered assistant adhere strictly to legal and brand language
guidelines around product efficacy, safety, and claims. The company’s legal and brand teams
provided an extensive list of approved and restricted language. The challenge was clear: create
a smart assistant that could meaningfully engage customers without ever crossing a regulatory
line.
Solution: Envive AI with Built-In Safety Architecture
Before launching, Envive AI underwent rigorous testing against Coterie’s compliance criteria.
Trained using Coterie’s own brand content — including user reviews, product catalogs, and
order data — the model was tailored to align with internal policies and brand voice from the
start.
Envive’s proprietary 3-pronged approach to AI safety proved essential:
- Tailormade Models: Unlike general-purpose models trained on internet data, Envive’s models are grounded in a retailer’s own digital footprint. This ensured that every output reflected Coterie’s approved language and values.
- Red Teaming: Envive proactively tested its model by simulating adversarial scenarios — identifying and eliminating risks before customers ever saw them.
- Consumer Grade AI: Rather than relying on prompt tricks, Envive aligned the model itself with Coterie’s tone, values, and content standards, resulting in safe, on-brand performance across every conversation.
Results: Safe Conversations, Real Business Impact
- Total Sessions: 56,305
- Conversion Rate: 6.76%
- Compliance Violations: 0
The Envive-powered AI assistant went live with flawless performance — handling thousands of
conversations without a single compliance issue. Even more impressive, it delivered real
business results, driving a significant lift in conversions while safeguarding Coterie’s brand
integrity.
Conclusion: Safety Doesn’t Have to Sacrifice Scale
Coterie’s success proves that safety and performance are not mutually exclusive. With Envive,
the team was able to launch an AI assistant that not only met strict legal requirements but also
exceeded growth goals.
By prioritizing brand-aligned training data, rigorous safety testing, and true model alignment,
Envive AI ensured every conversation helped customers — without putting the brand at risk.
