The search capabilities of AlphaSense are quite impressive. As a former Search Product Manager, I see where the boolean capabilities of AlphaSense's search allow me to control the scope, proximity, and keywords of the search. The addition of AI to the search keywords facilitates my booleans - frankly I don't have to use a boolean for additional keywords. That's quite helpful. The addition of AI (still in beta) to the search is helping those who don't want to get into the weeds.

Comparing with some of the other tools such as knowledge 360 the AI recognition is stronger. Investment reports addition is a great anchorage. Would also rate this as the highest one stop place for all competitive intelligence professionals who are looking to understand information from a wide variety of sources.

The UX is good and relatively intuitive. My favorite features are color coding of material type (research vs. company materials, etc.) and the highlighting of keywords and relevant sections. The search capability is easy to use and the ability to time restrict the search is critical. The automated alerts far exceed Google Alerts in that I receive much less duplication (though there is some). AlphaSense has recently added an AI chat feature to search in natural language which has dramatically helped find relevant information without have to search through documents.

AlphaSense offers the most selection criteria in their search of any tool I use, but that could also add some complexity. I believe there could be some opportunity to use AI to improve searches and use natural language queries to decrease complexity. Integration with tools like Slack could also enhance the accessibility of search.

Great insights.

It is not built like a consumer app—it has a ton of highly valuable information and is built for more sophisticated users. In that light, it is quite usable once you've taken some time to tune your searches.
