A strong tool for expert call insights!
- AlphaSense has a unique database of expert network calls
- AlphaSense allows a full text search across SEC and non-SEC documents
- AlphaSense allows you to use it as a central repository for notes on names
- AlphaSense isn't a full replacement for CapitalIQ or Bloomberg. It lacks all the fundamental data of those sources (i.e. historical revenue, earnings, cash flow)
- AlphaSense can be a bit overwhelming because there is so much depth to the product. It requires some training to master
- Sometimes the website can be a little slow to load when searching for things.

AlphaSense has been a fantastic tool for Market and Competitive Intel work in the Energy space.

- Search functionality (keyworkds, filters)
- Ability to save dashboards and workflows
- Notebooks
- AI generated content
March 27, 2024
AlphaSense
- New "Smart Summaries" are a useful new development to improve research speed
- Document highlighting capabilities are better than most peers
- Expert network interviews are fantastic to dive deep into a company
- Earnings summaries are AI generated and often miss key points
- Sentiment scores are often misleading or make mistakes (and aren't overly useful to my research process)
- the data / table stitcher struggles to provide "clean" data that is easy to consume in Excel
March 27, 2024
Love this product
- equity reports
- expert interviews
- key word trend
- financial report summaries
- When adding companies by industry, the AI should suggest similar companies
- Adding industries using the standard code in the system, e.g. "durables" is too broad and pointless
- Conglomerates are in many industries, it would be good to be able to select a particular division of a conglomerate

One stop shop for market intelligence!
- Key word searches
- Summarizing sentiment for a company
- Providing access to all documents, articles, etc. pertaining to a search
- conducting research, highlighting, taking notes
- listening in on expert commentary not readily available elsewhere
- Smart syllables are not too smart... often confuses intended meaning for something else
- Mail alerts are hard to read and digest... would prefer summary of finding versus presenting snippets
March 26, 2024
AlphaSense consolidated my effort from multiple platforms and dozens of browser tabs down to one window.
- aggregates all data and information sources
- search functionality is flexible and easy to use
- the search term highlighting feature makes it super easy to just jump to the relevant text
- a little more flexibility on the dashboard building
March 25, 2024
AlphaSense Review.
- Boolean-based search, especially finding quantitative figures.
- Bring together all publicly available and 3rd party information to a single platform/view.
- Sort results by different factors (i.e date, score, etc.).
- Search always treats "and" as a boolean "AND".
- Certain broker reports (notably Citi) sometimes breaks the UI.
March 24, 2024
AlphaSense Pros with a little bit of Cons

CI Tool for Strategic Decision making
- Collates information
- Allows easy extraction of key data
- learns to refine searches
- Weak on private company information
- Sometimes provides less relevant alerts
March 08, 2024
Great but with room for improvement
- Highlight keywords in transcripts
- Comprehensive data sources
- Find obscure company documents
- Search hits for multiple keywords or phrases (google search seems to be more effective for these)
March 08, 2024
Alphasense review.
- Once I had to see the filings of Bargain Purchase cases, it helped me finding that.
- The other day I had to identify sale of a ROU asset under pro forma sections.
- There are instances where we have to search for words that are in combination. Like for example, the sale of ROU assets, Deloitte Auditor, and some other criteria, Alphasense, I think, can improve where the required criteria are multiple. Even if not, I think it's awesome.

AlphaSense Review 2024
- Great user interface
- Best search feature around
- Combining tables from multiple different financial documents
- Summarizing Earnings Calls
- Generative AI summaries will not load 5% of the time.
- Sometimes the option to calculate Q4 in the table explorer is not visible when it should be.
- Sometimes I will leverage the portfolio monitor and it will highlight a different company than I have selected.
March 05, 2024
