I use AlphaSense as an integral part of my equity research process. This includes sourcing new ideas via screens and keyword alerts, researching ideas via reading SEC documents and expert insight calls, and maintaining research on existing ideas via the dashboard's alerts and organization of my notes on each situation and security.

I've used AlphaSense with the last two companies I've been with for different Market and Competitive Intelligence research. Particularly usefull when trying to find information on topics or companies that are not regularly available in other type of information services. It also works as a great time saver to sort through tons of information in a quick and practical manner.

AlphaSense helps me keep up to date on news flow and management appearances for my coverage and watchlists. The document highlighting tools are also better than most peers' offerings. The new Notebook feature is very useful for saving important information in a central repository that my team and I surface in the platform.

AlphaSense gives us the ability to do many things -
1) quick and thorough research before client meetings, understand the client and recent activities
2) when writing our reports and client briefings, extracts from equity reports and financial calls
3) Word trends help us understand what is important in the industry
4) for industries we are not familiar with, finding a good report is worth 2 hours of googling.

I am in the investor relations function. We use it for peer tracking, general eCommerce trends and industry benchmarking. I am a team of one so it is important for me to lean on it. There are many times where we need to pull merchant data or industry reports from the sell side and it is a great time saver

We use AlphaSense mainly for research purposes to stay on top of an industry or to learn about a new space quickly. The monitor functionality has been helpful in keeping up to speed on certain companies. Additionally, the advanced search functionality allows us to find answers to very specific questions by combining two or more keyword searches.

Staying on top of company news and trends. Competitive analysis. Market commentary. Basically looking for a one-stop-shop for all the reading I need to do on a topic, and it saves me a bunch of time by providing access to all public and paid research on any topic I am interested in on any company.

I use AlphaSense to stay on top of news and other information about the companies I cover and leverage historical information for specific projects I'm working on. I'm able to quickly dive into an analysis of specific topics or technologies that I'm investigating, whether for one company or across the industry. It is much easier than checking all the blogs, press releases, articles, and filings for each company, news, and industry source. The smart text search and highlighting features are a simple but huge productivity booster.

While I leverage AlphaSense for various use cases, the two I will cover in the review are Competitive Intelligence and Market Analysis. Firstly, I leverage AlphaSense towards the end of every quarter to delve into our competition's earnings calls and fillings. The two features that have easily saved me 50% of the time are the table explorer, which looks at all previous documents and trends similar tables, and the generative AI earnings call summaries. Market Analysis is also a big use case for AlphaSense with its large collection of after-market research which can be leveraged. These can be related to specific organizations or markets as a whole.

We use AlphaSense to obtain access to competitor analysis and analyst reports, market sizing and potential and market trends.
Its use for us is limited, as all of these tools are, as we still have limited visibility to private players, but it is getting better all the time.
Its A.I. powered auto summary with positive and negative sentiment of earnings calls etc is a real time-saver.

AlphaSense is a valuable tool for conducting secondary research for projects within our SoW. It helps in refining the search query, and its filters help analyzing search results, and extracting key insights more effectively. It narrows down the relevant information and makes it easier to gather. AlphaSense's most useful feature is its ability to extract not just the keyword but all relevant information from large volumes of data across analyst reports and public disclosures.

I use AlphaSense to read sell side reports and analysis about industry trends and specific companies. I extract graphs from these reports and challenge my own personal analysis against theirs. I also use a lot of their sorting features to find the most relevant information in the most efficient way.

AlphaSense helps our team to stay on top of developments in our markets and with our competitors on a global basis. Everything is organized and intuitive with the site, helping to ensure we can access the information and gain the insights quickly and completely. Especially like the push notifications that bring the information to us each day.

I use it mainly for peer summaries by pulling transcripts, press releases, and presentations. It addresses a peer analysis and also for macro reporting looking at how different markets have performed. The peer summaries or smart summaries are very helpful in summarizing the Q&A sections of the transcript.

I searched through public company records and analyst reports and gathered competitive information on companies of interest. It helps us reduce secondary research time, quickly identify relevant resources, and synthesize information.
