AI for Deeper Insights in Less Time

Our platform not only houses all of the content you need to make rapid data-driven decisions, it also helps you cut through the noise with advanced search functionality:

Generative Search

Generative Search is a conversational search experience that allows users to ask natural-language questions and source intelligence at scale from across premium external content, internal knowledge, and quantitative data sources. Each answer provides citations to the exact snippet of text from where the information was sourced, so that it can always be referenced back.

With Deep Research mode, users can automate the creation of in-depth analysis about companies, trends, or industry topics. The model conducts dozens of searches, parses through thousands of potentially relevant results, and reasons over all of it to produce comprehensive, detailed analysis about any topic — in a fraction of the time it would take a human.

Generative Grid

Generative Grid applies multiple genAI prompts to many documents at the same time to quickly provide organized answers to research questions at scale, in an easy-to-read table format. This enables clients to summarize documents using pre-built criteria to save time when executing repeatable workflows.

Smart Summaries

Every earnings transcript in AlphaSense features an AI-generated Smart Summary, which creates a tearsheet of key takeaways, analyst Q&A, and the most critical topics discussed in each call. AlphaSense users leverage Smart Summaries during earnings season to extract the most crucial insights from each call in minutes, not hours, and ensure that nothing is missed.

Semantic Search

Instead of digging through fragmented reports and alerts, you can rely on our semantic search to ensure you never miss out on critical insights. Our AI search technology automatically recognizes what you are looking for and delivers the results that match the intent behind your query. This means you don’t have to do multiple searches to get the results you need, and you can be more confident in the comprehensiveness and accuracy of your research.

Sentiment Analysis

With AlphaSense, you can use AI-based sentiment analysis to identify, quantify, and analyze levels of emotion within text. Understanding sentiment can help you catch the subtle inflection points in language that move markets and provide early indicators of shifting corporate performance.
