What if your research team could analyze twice as many companies while working half as hard?
Research analysts are making this reality for finance teams everywhere.
The AI in Finance market is already booming - valued at $38.36 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $190.33 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 30.6%
Your best analyst takes 8-12 hours to produce one comprehensive research report. A research analyst generates that same report draft in minutes.
Market data comes from everywhere. News feeds, earnings reports, social sentiment, and economic indicators. By the time your team processed yesterday's data, three new market-moving events had happened today. The competition has already made its move.
According to the World Economic Forum, 32–39% of work across capital markets, insurance, and other financial services could be automated through AI, highlighting how much analyst time is consumed by repetitive tasks.
The research analyst is far different than traditional market analysis tools. It's built specifically for financial professionals who need comprehensive market intelligence, and not just data dumps.
In fact, a KPMG study found that 71% of companies already use AI in finance, with 41% using it at a moderate or large scale.
