Mitigate the Risk of Missed Information with Automated AI Research

We are living in the information age. As a result, there’s more data in the world today than there has ever been. For example, 90% of the world’s information has been created in the past two years alone, with the vast majority of that data categorized as “unstructured.” What’s more, unstructured data – research reports, news articles, blogs, video content – doubles every 24 months. 

Are you buried within that colossal pile of unstructured information? Critical insights that power the success of trading decisions, strategic initiatives, M&A deals, product pricing, and more. Due to the massive volume of information, the rapid pace of publishing, and disparate platforms and sources this information is available on, ongoing monitoring for the most important details is an increasingly difficult task. 

 

It’s no surprise that over the past ten years, there’s been a steady rise in the number of mentions of AI, automation, or big data in earnings calls.

How AI enables more effective monitoring

To effectively gather, synthesize and distribute the information necessary for a business to make decisions, entire teams are dedicated to the effort of monitoring this deluge of data. Aiding in their monitoring efforts, NLP algorithms designed to understand human language are automating much of this once-manual process by reading through millions of lines of text, so you don’t have to. Moreover, by aggregating multiple disparate content sets into one place, platforms like AlphaSense enable you to spend less time searching for relevant information and more time analyzing and validating your strategies.

A ‘one-stop-shop’ for relevant information

 

 

Sitting on top of millions of pieces of premium, curated content, AlphaSense aggregates sources, sorts for relevancy, and displays the latest updates on companies, sectors, and topics of interest into a single view. This Dashboard view is your one-stop-shop to uncover, browse, and read through relevant documents without resorting to dozens of views or looking at disparate sources of content. Using Dashboard switches your perspective from having to search to discover helpful information. 

Proactively gather powerful insights in real-time.

Taking automated monitoring further, you can leverage AlphaSense to set alerts that allow you to respond to changes or updates unfolding in real-time proactively.

 

We hear from our customers that they can win more business and proactively serve client needs by using AI to scan through mountains of unstructured data, pinpoint the most relevant mentions about a specific company, sector, or topic, and stay on top of market movements with these real-time updates. For example, one analyst mentioned that, with AlphaSense Alerts, they were notified about how a regional disease outbreak would impact a company in their holdings three days before the news hit the press. With this advanced notice, the analyst was able to restructure investments to avoid a considerable downside quickly.
