AlphaSense, a company that provides tools to Wall Street analysts, has launched Deep Research. This tool is designed to help analysts complete tasks faster by using artificial intelligence (AI) to sift through vast amounts of data.
Client Base
According to AlphaSense, its client base includes some of the biggest companies in the world. The company claims that 88% of the S&P 100 are among its 5,000 clients, which include notable firms such as Amazon, Nvidia, and Microsoft.
The Challenge of Data Volume
The sheer volume of financial and business documents is staggering, with hundreds of millions incorporated into AlphaSense’s generative AI tools. This vast database provides the foundation for Deep Research to draw upon.
"Deep Research can quickly do work it would take a Wall Street analyst days or weeks to complete," said an AlphaSense spokesperson.
Addressing Complex Financial Data
The launch comes as investors increasingly seek ways to make sense of complex financial data. Analysts at investment banks and hedge funds rely on research reports from top firms such as Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Morgan Stanley, and JPMorgan Chase & Co. However, these reports often contain outdated information or conflicting views on companies’ prospects.
AlphaSense’s AI-powered tools aim to address this problem by providing real-time insights based on publicly available information, such as:
- Earnings calls
- Investor presentations
- Regulatory filings
The company claims that its technology can process large amounts of data much faster than humans can read it.
Human Judgment vs. AI
Despite the advancements in AI, not everyone is convinced that it will replace human analysts anytime soon. One hedge fund manager, who declined to be named due to privacy concerns, stated:
"There will always be value in having human judgment. You need people with experience who know how things work."
However, many investors believe that AI will play an increasingly important role in their decision-making processes. Another hedge fund manager noted:
"We’re seeing more use cases where we’re using our own internal models combined with external models like those from AlphaSense. It’s becoming more mainstream."
What Deep Research Does
So, what exactly does Deep Research do? According to a source familiar with the product:
"Imagine you want someone else to do your job while you go get lunch. That’s basically what Deep Research does."
In reality, Deep Research utilizes natural language processing (NLP) algorithms trained on hundreds of millions of pages of financial and business documents to extract relevant information about companies and their performance. It can also automatically generate reports and presentations based on that information, allowing analysts to focus on higher-level tasks like interpreting data and making investment decisions.
Industry Impact
While some may see this as a threat, others view it as a potential game-changer for the industry. One source remarked:
"If you can get it together with a good team of people who are good at using these tools, they can be very powerful."
As for whether AI will replace human analysts anytime soon, that remains to be seen. However, one thing is for sure: the use of AI in finance is only going to intensify going forward.
