Testimonials
Table Talk from the Archivist Community
GMs and players share how Archivist transformed their game nights.
"Using Archivist has been huge. It tracks all the moving parts of the game, synopsis them and can be asked for details later, all without distracting you from the game! I’ve found it easy to use and my group loves quizzing the bot on our adventures!"
Tomas
Playing TTRPGs for 20 years
"Archivist doesn’t just take notes: Your party can ask it about anything in the campaign, as simply as asking the question in a discord chat, and it will answer with only the information that was said in a session. Archivist doesn’t just keep it all straight, it helps your party put it all together."
Adam Maxwell
GM for over thirty years, and a player for more than forty
"Loving this tool. It handles note-taking and session capture without trying to go beyond that. If I wanted AI to take over the creative aspects of being a DM, I'd use something else. Archivist doesn't do that and doesn't get in the way of letting me do what I do best."

"I just used Archivist Beta for the first time for tonight’s session. I am gobsmacked! It is absolutely brilliant! Very easy to use and very accurate. I am so pleased I was offered an invite. Thank you!"

"I'm an obsessive note-taker. Archivist has allowed me to put that aside and focus on enjoying the game. Overall fantastic tool that could be made better as it evolves - and it sounds like you have some good ideas on the roadmap."

"Archivist let me focus on experiencing powerful game moments instead of stressing about whether I should be taking notes about them."

"It’s the best note-taking resource I’ve used since I started playing. As a long-time DM, sometimes you miss little things in your notes; this program catches everything! Fantastic tool for new DMs or veteran DMs, and great for players to reference as well!"
Aaron George

"Archivist has been a Gods-Send! As a professional GM, this not only helps me save time and desk space by removing the need for physical notebooks, it coordinates the extremely tangled web of information when juggling 3 connected games in a single setting. No more "when did that happen?" I just refer to Archivist!"

"This service is amazing. I just subscribed after the 2 session trial and we just had our 3rd session. I introduced the chatbot in game as a magical journal called the Lorekeeper’s Tome. Described it like Tom Riddle’s diary from chamber of secrets but less evil lol. All the players loved it. Now they can @Lorekeeper in its channel and ask questions."

"I’m a neurodivergent GM who runs several games during the week, many of which are the same adventure with different parties. Archivist has helped me not lose my marbles with everything that happens! It keeps me on track with every detail from every player I have, and my players also love it. Literally a game changer!"
