FactSet Releases Transcript Assistant, A Game-Changing AI Tool for Earnings Call Analysis

First interactive GenAI product available in the FactSet Workstation, with approx. 4,000 active users

FactSet, a global financial digital platform and enterprise solutions provider, announced the release of Transcript Assistant, a GenAI-powered, conversational chatbot that accelerates in-depth research and analysis of earnings call transcripts.

Transcript Assistant leverages generative AI (GenAI) to help users search, analyze, and extract valuable, actionable insights from all transcripts in FactSet, ultimately enhancing the investment research process within the FactSet Workstation.

The interactive tool allows users to submit custom queries regarding the transcript in a two-way interface that goes beyond earnings summarizations, such as, ‘How is the company discussing the impact of a U.S. recession?’. From there, the large language models identify, synthesize, and surface relevant transcript information to help users maximize efficiency and unlock insights that inform critical business decisions.

2. Robust Search Capabilities: Users can easily search for specific keywords, phrases, or topics within the transcripts, enabling them to find relevant information more efficiently.
3. View Intelligent Summaries: Transcript Assistant provides high-level summaries, high/low takeaways, updated management guidance, and key themes shortly after the call ends that can be accessed anywhere in FactSet’s applications where transcripts are available.
