2026 AlphaSummit product announcements and highlights

At AlphaSummit 2026, AlphaSense’s second annual user conference, we unveiled major product updates designed to enhance users’ workflows. Leading the announcements was SuperAnalyst, a next-generation, always-on AI agent that executes high-value financial and strategic workflows.

“Think of it as a coordinated team of specialized agents, working on your behalf across the entire AlphaSense platform. Give it a complex project, and it can take that work from research all the way to a finished output,” said AlphaSense CEO Jack Kokko. “And it doesn’t stop when it finishes the task. SuperAnalyst can keep monitoring the underlying information, keep its analysis current, and update the output as the world changes.”

In addition to product updates, AlphaSummit featured visionary conversations with Shaquille O’Neal, Cerebras CEO Andrew Feldman, JPMorgan Chase Co-President Doug Petno, Lanai CEO Lexi Reese, and more. Throughout the sessions, our customers shared their perspectives on how AI is reshaping the workforce and streamlining their operations. They also discussed the need to quantify ROI on AI investment as they implement the technology across the workforce.

Below, catch up on the five biggest things you missed at AlphaSummit.

1. SuperAnalyst

We launched SuperAnalyst, an always-on agent that continuously executes complex workflows on users’ behalf. Drawing on AlphaSense’s premium library of financial and business intelligence, SuperAnalyst acts like an extension of your team. It’s designed to thread together every step of a workflow, working toward an objective, rather than simply answering a question. It researches, analyzes evidence, performs calculations, writes and runs code, and produces decision-ready outputs. And because similar workflows don’t rely on the same playbooks, SuperAnalyst is configurable to specific templates, formats, and methodology.

In the coming months, we will launch SuperAnalyst Apps, which lets any user create fully working software from a prompt. Built for collaboration across an organization, the apps will come with AI data pipelines, purpose-built UX, and persistent data. Users will only need to describe the app they need and SuperAnalyst will build and run it.

2. Channel Check Intelligence

We announced Channel Check Intelligence: the read on every name you cover.

Channel checks used to be a luxury only the largest funds could afford. AlphaSense provides the market’s deepest library within reach of any investor, but there is now more expert input on each name than one analyst can read in a quarter. Channel Check Intelligence closes that gap. It turns thousands of expert conversations into a verdict-first read, covering 750+ tickers, so you see what the channel is saying about a company, and how that has changed quarter over quarter, before consensus. Reads refresh daily, so you can spot a shift between earnings cycles rather than after it. Every claim is traceable to the expert, and links back to the transcript it came from, giving you a view you can defend to a PM or an investment committee.

3. Supply Chain Knowledge Graph

AlphaSense’s knowledge graph, the foundation of our context graph, converts unstructured documents into structured relationships the product can query to get answers. Every relationship is extracted from the source material and checked before it enters the graph. At AlphaSummit, we announced the expansion of our knowledge graph to include supply chain relationships, which connect suppliers and customers to components, products, and countries of origin. AlphaSense users can now investigate supply chain relationships directly through SuperAnalyst, review the sources supporting the analysis, generate visual dashboards, and follow up on a particular supplier or component.

4. SuperAnalyst Skills Hackathon

AlphaSummit featured an Experience Lab where attendees could interact with new AlphaSense products, including SuperAnalyst. One of those experiences was a Skills Hackathon where attendees designed and submitted their own SuperAnalyst skills to compete for a grand prize. Fifty-six skills were submitted during the two-day event across various use cases from a “Weekly News Roundup Read” to an “Earnings Impact Synthesizer.” Over 100 conference participants voted on the winner: “End Market Demand Pulse.” The winning skill produces a detailed, evidence-backed read on how demand in one industrial end market is changing, with a view into drivers, headwinds, and signals, as well as a comparison to the previous read.

5. AI Interviewer Experience

During the conference, users had the opportunity to experience AlphaSense’s AI Interviewer capabilities at the Experience Lab. There was a private booth at the event where attendees could listen to snippets of our AI interviewer conducting a real expert call. This experience showcased AlphaSense’s AI interviewer capabilities, including its deep context, ability to probe, pressure-test responses, and ask thoughtful follow-up questions, all while sounding natural and conversational for the expert.

Our AI Interviewer is a game changer for our clients, enabling teams to scale their expert insights by running up to 10x the expert calls without adding time or headcount. They select the expert from our custom-sourced expert pool, define the research objectives and topics, and receive the transcripts and call project summaries within hours.
