AI Search Technology

While AI is not technically necessary to conduct market research, it is the secret weapon behind every organization that is outpacing their competition. AI not only speeds up the research process—enabling you to spend more time on analysis and strategy—but it also separates the signals from the noise. 

Here is how the AlphaSense platform enhances your research process with proprietary AI features:

Semantic Search

AlphaSense’s smart AI search technology recognizes the intent of your search and surfaces key insights without you having to perform multiple manual searches or spend time reading through the entirety of multiple long documents. 

Our Smart Synonyms™ technology analyzes speech patterns across tens of millions of search documents, resulting in a robust library of synonymous words. The platform ensures you get all the relevant search results—without any of the excess noise or extraneous effort.  

Trending Topics

Our Trending Topics tool is key for unlocking critical insights from a vast body of data—in seconds. This AI tool, accessible via the main dashboard, allows you to see the top 100 topics that are trending for a single company or a group of companies in a watchlist or industry. Try this feature for free here.

Sentiment Analysis

Our sentiment analysis technology utilizes Natural Language Processing (NLP) to uncover market perceptions about any given topic. Further, it color-codes positive and negative sentiment for easy recognition as you browse search results. These AI features are executed in seconds, saving analysts precious hours that would have previously been spent combing through multiple earnings call transcripts.

Generative AI

As a platform purpose-built to drive the world’s biggest business and financial decisions, our Smart Summaries feature leverages our 10+ years of AI tech development and draws from a curated collection of high-quality business content.

Our Smart Summaries feature summarizes earnings documents, allowing you to speed up your earnings research process and quickly understand company outlook—so you can spend more time on high-value tasks. 

Theme Extraction

This tool allows users to extract the most important topics from earnings transcripts in the context of key metrics, such as QoQ increase in mentions, positive/negative sentiment, and overall mentions. 

With this tool, users save time, all while identifying the most relevant information at scale across every single competitor’s transcript. And because our model is trained specifically on financial language, it can pinpoint the most valuable and important company insights.
