Builds AI search tools for market research
AlphaSense builds market intelligence software for investment professionals and corporate teams researching companies, competitors, and business trends. Its platform brings company filings, earnings calls, industry news, and expert interviews into a searchable library, so analysts work across sources rather than opening each document separately. AI tools interpret research questions, summarize findings, and link answers to the underlying material for review. Organizations also connect their internal research to the platform and pay subscription fees for access to its software and content. AlphaSense launched in 2011 and is headquartered in New York City.
