4 AI research tools

Not legal or compliance advice
A

AlphaSense

Research & analysis

AI-powered market intelligence and research platform indexing broker research, filings, and expert call transcripts, used widely across investment banking, hedge funds and asset management.

EU data residency optionEnterprise-grade security
Compliance note

Operates a dedicated EU data residency region for regulated users — a genuinely relevant fact if data sovereignty is part of your firm's requirements. Enterprise pricing (reportedly $10,000–20,000 per seat annually), sold through direct sales.

R

Rogo

Research & analysis

AI research and workflow platform built specifically for investment banking tasks — due diligence, deliverable generation, and document review at scale.

Built for IB workflowsSeries B funded
Compliance note

Founded by former investment bankers specifically for sell-side workflows, narrower than AlphaSense's broad research library — check fit against your actual use case before comparing pricing.

H

Hebbia

Research & analysis

AI research platform for finance and legal work, connecting private documents, public filings, and financial data providers into one workspace for M&A, credit and asset research.

SOC 2 Type IIISO/IEC 42001 (AI management)No-training policy
Compliance note

Notably holds ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the dedicated AI management system standard — a more specific signal than general security certifications for firms evaluating AI governance maturity, not just data security. Backed by a16z and Index Ventures; enterprise sales.

K

Kensho (S&P Global)

Research & analysis

S&P Global's AI innovation hub, providing an LLM-ready API and MCP integrations that bring S&P Capital IQ data, earnings transcripts, and financials directly into AI workflows.

Backed by S&P GlobalDirect Claude & ChatGPT integration
Compliance note

Institutional backing is the standout factor here rather than a specific published compliance certification — worth asking S&P Global directly for their current SOC 2 and data-handling documentation, as it wasn't independently published for Kensho specifically at time of writing.

What to check before you choose

  • Confidentiality of uploads: whether your files, queries and notes are used for training, and who at the vendor can access them.
  • Source licensing: which content the tool draws on, and whether your existing data entitlements carry over.
  • Citations: whether answers link to source passages so an analyst can verify them.
  • Access controls and residency: single sign-on, per-team permissions, and where data is processed.
  • Validation: how your firm checks output before it informs advice or a decision, since generated answers can be wrong.
  • AI Act position: general research assistants usually sit in a lower tier, but classification depends on the actual use.

Each badge reflects what a vendor states in its own documentation, not an independent audit by Attestly. Where a vendor offers a referral or affiliate program, we may earn a commission if you sign up through a link on this site. That does not change how tools are described. See how ratings work.
