The AlphaSense platform helps you cut through the noise of millions of data sources to find the ones that matter most to you. All our AI features are purpose-built to help you reach your business goals more efficiently, effectively, and comprehensively:

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 and internal qualitative 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.

You can also take Generative Search on the go with our mobile app, giving you access to instant answers, wherever you work.

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 qualitative sources using pre-built criteria to save time when executing repeatable workflows.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is qualitative analysis?

Qualitative analysis is an investigative approach that uncovers non-numeric data insights via text analysis. In corporate and financial research, qualitative research explores subjective aspects of companies, industries, or topics — which can include attitudes, behaviors, motivations, and commentary.

Qualitative data is powerful because it adds necessary context to quantitative data and analyzes text data points that quantitative methods cannot measure, helping researchers gain a more complete perspective on any industry, company, or topic.

What are the benefits of using qualitative data analysis tools?

What are common challenges when analyzing qualitative market data at scale?

Qualitative data in business and finance is largely text-based. When qualitative analysis is done manually, it takes an inordinate amount of time — hours or even multiple days spent reading and analyzing — depending on your specific research project.

This makes it impossible to execute at scale, which inhibits the amount of research a firm can take on at any given time. When researchers are dealing with analysis fatigue, there is a higher chance of human error and missed insights. Ultimately, this limits their ability to make data-driven decisions and to find and pursue new opportunities in their industries.

Qualitative analysis tools like AlphaSense solve this problem with AI, automation, and features designed specifically to enhance professional market research — helping you get to the right insights faster so you can spend more time on higher-value tasks.

What kinds of qualitative data can you analyze with AlphaSense?

The AlphaSense platform analyzes text-based qualitative data such as call transcripts, research reports, and news or trade journal articles, as well as data visualizations like charts or graphs.

AlphaSense is particularly powerful for making sense of large sets of unstructured data with different formats, then analyzing them in a centralized, cohesive, digestible way — such as with Generative Search or Generative Grid.

What qualitative data sources does AlphaSense provide access to?

How does AlphaSense help you make sense of qualitative data faster than other tools?

AlphaSense helps financial and corporate professionals make sense of qualitative data faster than other well-known qualitative analysis software tools, such as Nvivo, Atlas.ti, Quirkos, and MAXQDA because it provides more than just the analysis — it also provides the data you need.

Most other qualitative analysis tools require you to curate and upload your own data to the platform for analysis. This step alone can take hours or even days that would be better spent on actual qualitative data analysis.

In the AlphaSense platform, you can conduct research with confidence knowing that all the top sources in your industry or sector are already on the platform, ready to be analyzed in seconds.

Further, you get the best of both worlds because you can also upload your own data — such as interviews you conduct or original research you develop — and use AlphaSense’s AI features to analyze them alongside other key sources.
