5 Ways to Leverage the Power of AI for Expert Insights

The digital landscape is rapidly evolving, and businesses and investors alike are constantly seeking innovative ways to gain insights from industry experts to elevate their primary investment research. Artificial intelligence (AI) has empowered the way professionals conduct primary investment research and streamlined access to firsthand perspectives from subject matter experts.

AlphaSense, a leading market intelligence and search platform, provides streamlined and quality expert insights for business professionals across various industries. Using advanced AI and natural language processing (NLP) technologies, AlphaSense helps users quickly discover crucial insights found in its universe of content, saving time and enabling better decision-making.

With the integration of generative AI (genAI), AlphaSense has pioneered the way that researchers can gather qualitative data through Expert Insights. Below, we explore the qualitative value of Expert Insights and the top five ways to leverage the power of AI to accelerate expert research.

The Value of Expert Insights for Qualitative Data

When conducting primary investment research, most investors primarily focus on quantitative data to validate their theses and inform their investment strategies. However, even extensive data-driven research cannot provide a complete 360-degree view of an opportunity without the insights provided by softer, qualitative market research.

Many investment researchers or firms entering high-growth industries may not fully understand all the intricacies at play when venturing into unfamiliar market opportunities. However, expert perspectives can help fill these critical research gaps because qualitative research data can provide descriptive context to hard data, which is critical in helping investors interpret numbers into meaning.

Although quantifying soft data is difficult, insights from experts can be structured and organized in innovative ways that make them more accessible. Some examples of accessing expert insights are conversing with experts through calls, transcribing expert interviews into transcripts, conducting a customer survey panel, or establishing a vast network of experts.

While traditional expert networks may help connect business and investment researchers with industry experts, they are often time-consuming and costly before finally reaching critical insights. Technological innovations may make information more accessible than ever, but they cannot replace the value of high-level insights from human industry experts.

Modern market intelligence platforms leverage powerful technology, like AI and NLP, to accelerate and streamline access to expert insights for market researchers. We explore the power of AI technology, like that of AlphaSense, in accessing expert insights for primary researchers in greater detail below.

Top 5 Ways to Leverage the Power of AI for Expert Research

With over 10+ years of investment in AI development, the AlphaSense platform offers various AI features to further refine and personalize primary research. AlphaSense’s patented AI technology enables users to conduct top-down and bottom-up qualitative research significantly faster.

Our leading AI search and summarization capabilities help you save time and remove uncertainty in your investment theses, allowing you to outperform the market with innovative investment ideas.

AI technology brings a new dimension to market intelligence, allowing you to effortlessly extract quality insights from alternative data sources like Expert Insights. Below are the top five ways to leverage AI technology for expert research using AlphaSense:

1. Instant Expert Transcript Summarization

Researchers can maximize their return on investment and time with generated summaries that capture the gist of any expert call transcript found within the AlphaSense library. GenAI goes beyond keyword-based searches because it has the ability to understand context and nuances in language, allowing it to identify insights that might be missed by traditional search methods. This context-aware approach enhances the quality of Expert Insights by making information more actionable.

Smart Summaries uses genAI to parse through millions of documents across the premium and high-value content sets available in AlphaSense, and then presents highly accurate and valuable summaries. With Smart Summaries, you can glean instant insights from any expert transcript to reduce time spent on research and quickly capture expert SWOT perspectives. Smart Summaries can also unveil nuanced bearish and bullish company perspectives and transform raw information into actionable insights on key themes.

2. Highly Relevant Research Results with Smart Search

Smart Synonyms™ is the backbone of the AlphaSense search engine. This technology allows you to expand keyword and thematic searches to deliver the most relevant expert insights beyond just the transcripts that are an exact keyword match. Our industry-leading search technology uses NLP to analyze speech patterns across tens of millions of expert call transcripts, resulting in a robust library of synonymous words, phrases, and word proximity combinations that do the heavy lifting of searching for relevant snippets within text-heavy transcripts.

Smart Synonyms™ can also be combined with our sentiment analysis technology to identify and quantify levels of emotion around specific topics within expert transcripts. Using a boolean operator, you can search for mentions of a specific topic in a positive or negative light (for example, “automation” AND “positive”) and filter by expert calls. The resulting snippets cover any positive mention of the topic.

Leveraging Smart Synonyms™ allows you to offload the most tedious aspects of research to AI so that you can spend more time on analyzing these actionable insights and turning them into critical business decisions.

3. Personalized AI Chat Experience

AlphaSense offers its users a genAI-powered chatbot experience, transforming how they extract insights from hundreds of millions of premium content sources within the AlphaSense platform. The AlphaSense AI Assistant (in beta) allows users to ask live questions and gain real-time answers with our AI-powered chatbot, designed to summarize billions of data points and get users from question to answer faster.

Additionally, Tegus’ most recent AI innovation, AskTegus, is an AI-powered chat experience that allows investors to quickly cut through the noise and get the insights they need. AskTegus creates a super-charged analyst, giving users the ability to sift through Tegus’ extensive database—the largest investor-led transcript library. Alphasense users now have access to Tegus features such as these to uncover insights within seconds and make better decisions with more confidence.

4.  Curated Research Algorithm Experience

AlphaSense’s incredible AI technology uses machine learning algorithms to understand users’ preferences and patterns. The platform continuously monitors and analyzes a vast array of premium, proprietary, public, and private content sources and then curates expert insights most relevant to your research needs and interests. 

The AlphaSense platform’s intuitive design also ensures an effortless user experience, allowing users to quickly browse and vet experts with an easily navigable table of contents and engage in personalized expert calls. By setting up automated alerts, users can get notified in real time when new expert transcripts on topics, industries, or companies they follow are published within the platform.
