Never has there been so much pressure to find critical insights and leverage them to inform business or investment decisions. Whether you are focused on companies or themes, the need to discover insights quickly is paramount.
This challenge continues to increase as more and more data is published daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly across disparate sources, making it more difficult to comb through the information. This also creates an issue of confidence – how can you be sure you went through every relevant source and aren’t missing any critical pieces of information?
To address these challenges and empower our users’ search capabilities, AlphaSense will be making a series of upgrades to our platform, called AlphaSense X. These enhancements will leverage AI as a proactive force within the platform, discovering critical insights faster accessible than ever before.
We released the first AlphaSense X upgrade earlier in Q1 with Company Topics, which provides a visual breakdown of the topics a company is discussing. You don’t need to search to know what’s impacting their business.
Now, we are introducing a new search experience.
We launched this new experience as a Beta feature in Q4 2020, and we are ready to release it to the public after collecting and incorporating hundreds of user feedback notes.
To arrive at this new search experience, the AlphaSense team took a step back and thought about the purpose of a search platform and settled on two key themes: 1) time; and 2) results.
With search time in their crosshairs, the team analyzed over 3.5 million examples of user search flows, looking for parts of the search process that could be eliminated, reduced, or refined to save time. With the team’s analysis and user feedback, we identified two main areas for improvement:
The team analyzed over 8 million read events that followed successful searches, looking for patterns between search parameters and documents read.
They found some key trends and, with plenty of user feedback, have introduced two key upgrades to the AlphaSense platform:
How can you use the new search? We’ve identified several use cases where this new search will enhance the user experience:
We’re excited to see how you can make the most of this new search experience. If you’d like to know more about AlphaSense X, check out our AlphaSenseX webinar here. If you’ve never used AlphaSense before, we’d like to invite you to a free trial so that you can experience our robust search platform for yourself. Sign up for your practice here.
