[July 23,2026]. Elixir Technologies today announced it has won a Silver Stevie® Award for “New Product of the Year” in the Communications Technology Category at the 2026 Stevie Awards for Technology Excellence. The company was recognized for Elixir Muse, an AI-powered writing platform that delivers provable privacy for businesses and individual users through its proprietary zero-retention architecture.
The Stevie Awards, widely recognized as the world's premier business awards, honor outstanding achievements in business innovation and leadership.

Libby Koehn
Global VP of Product
“This recognition validates our mission to democratize AI-powered communications tools while maintaining provable privacy standards for all users," said Libby Koehn, VP of Products at Elixir Technologies. "Traditional AI platforms retain user data indefinitely and often use customer content and prompts for model training, creating privacy concerns for individuals and compliance nightmares for businesses. We've solved this fundamental problem with architecture that processes user requests without any data persistence or training on customer content."
Provably Private Architecture with User Control
Elixir Muse’s operates on a groundbreaking zero-retention model where user documents and prompts are processed in volatile memory only and vanish completely when sessions end. User content never becomes part of model training datasets, and users maintain complete ownership and control of their data at all times.
Core Privacy Guarantees:
- Zero Data Retention: No user content stored on servers, databases, or persistent storage
- No Training on Customer Data: User content never incorporated into AI model training
- Complete User Control: Content ownership and control remains with the user throughout
- Session Isolation: Each user session operates independently with no data cross-contamination
- Provably Private: Technical architecture that can be independently verified
Sophisticated AI Writing Assistance for All Users

Industry Recognition for Governed AI Approach
The award comes as industry experts recognize the need for more sophisticated AI solutions in enterprise communications.
Early adopters across consumer and business segments report significant improvements in writing quality and confidence. The platform enables everyone to leverage AI writing assistance without sacrificing privacy, data ownership, or regulatory compliance.
"AI in customer communications is entering a more serious phase. The market is moving beyond faster drafting and basic content assistance. The real enterprise test is whether AI can improve readability, speed, and content quality while preserving privacy, compliance, auditability, and human control," said Saurabh Raj at QKS Group. "That is why the launch of Elixir Muse is worth watching. For regulated industries, AI adoption in communications cannot sit outside governance. It needs to work inside content workflows, approval models, data controls, and compliance expectations. This is where the CCM market is now shifting from AI features to governed communication intelligence."
