Research Analysts & Corporate Decision Makers Can Ask Complex Questions within Company Documents

NEW YORK, April 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bloomberg today announced the launch of AI-Powered Document Insights which uses generative AI to make it easier for research analysts and corporate decision makers to quickly surface insights from a company document by asking questions in everyday conversational language. This innovative research solution is an evolution of Bloomberg’s AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries, complements AI-Powered News Summaries, and links seamlessly with Bloomberg’s other purpose-built analytical tools and workflows as part of the company’s mission to reimagine the Bloomberg Terminal for the age of AI.

AI-Powered Document Insights provides users with robust search and summarization capabilities made possible by Bloomberg’s decades of expertise and more than 15 years of leadership in applying AI in the financial domain. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts helped train the generative AI models so they more accurately understand the nuances of financial language by using Bloomberg’s AI guardrail systems. The research solution enables customers to adjust their positions and investment views on a company by quickly analyzing text and structured data within a company document from a vast library of trusted and premium content. This research library on the Bloomberg Terminal includes more than 200 million company documents, more than 5,000 Bloomberg News stories published each day on the markets, economies, industries, and companies that matter, as well as research content like Bloomberg Intelligence reports which cover thousands of companies.

Magdalena Richardson, Credit Trading Strategist at NatWest Markets Plc, said: “What I like about AI-Powered Document Insights is that it provides a great summary of a company’s comments when asked a direct question. For example, within an earnings call transcript for an original equipment manufacturer, the solution can be asked about the impact of tariffs. I think this solution is a godsend on a day when you have multiple earnings calls and cannot attend them all or need to revisit a topic.”

Thymen Rundberg, Equity Research Associate at ING, said: “What I find valuable is that AI-Powered Document Insights allows me to quickly find specific information within earnings call transcripts, saving me time versus manually searching through the document. The tool also allows me to stay up to date with more peers of companies in my coverage. This was definitely a more tedious task before.”

Bloomberg will continue to use generative AI to enhance research solutions like AI-Powered Document Insights with additional document coverage, product features and integrations to help customers discover more answers and actionable insights with a user experience that is easy and comprehensive.

Starting today, customers can explore the new interface and its features like ‘Ask a Question’, where users can either explore their hypothesis about developing investment themes like “tariffs” or retrieve specific information like “procurement costs.” The feature covers company documents and transcripts for earnings calls, conference presentations, investor days, capital markets days, shareholder meetings, M&A calls, sales results calls, guidance calls, and more. The solution also incorporates transparency links to highlight relevant excerpts in the original document and audio replays to hear the tone and tenor of executives and corporate spokespeople. ‘Key Notes’ provides a structured overview of Bloomberg selected topics raised in company presentations.

Suzanne Szur, Research and Companies Product Manager at Bloomberg, said: “With AI-Powered Document Insights, we’re delivering our customers a solution that is infused with financial domain knowledge. It’s been developed in close collaboration with our customers and evaluated by our team of product, data and technology experts who understand the importance of responsible AI down to the design features. Very soon we’ll launch additional research solutions to help financial professionals and their teams find unique insights, improve their research methods, and develop investment strategies tailored to various time horizons in this uncertain macro environment.”

Bloomberg’s research solutions help transform the investment research and analysis process so clients can add actionable resources to their data and tech stacks for single-desktop and enterprise-wide use. Clients can optimize their research offering so that trusted and consistent data is deeply integrated into research and production workflows throughout their enterprise, and their unique views are quickly distributed to counterparties.
