Bloomberg has unveiled a new tool, AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries, on the Terminal, showcasing the practical use of artificial intelligence in enhancing the research process for analysts.
The new tool is designed to simplify the complex task of dissecting financial information, enabling users to swiftly pinpoint essential insights from corporate management discussions. These insights include areas such as guidance, capital allocation, hiring and labour plans, macroeconomic factors, new products, supply chain challenges, and consumer demand.
Crafted through a blend of extensive domain experience and generative AI technology, Bloomberg says AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries reflects its commitment to delivering precision and depth in financial analysis. Bloomberg Intelligence analysts played a role in training the large language models that power this tool, ensuring a nuanced understanding of financial terminology and prioritising investor-relevant information.
One of the key features of this tool is the inclusion of context links in the summary points. These links allow analysts to explore related information across the Terminal, connecting to resources like Company Financials, Bloomberg Dividend Forecast, and Supply Chain Analysis. For enhanced transparency, the solution also provides a functionality that lets users click on points in the summary sidebar, leading them directly to the relevant sections in the call transcript.
This AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries tool complements Document Search, another function on the Bloomberg Terminal. Document Search utilises natural language processing to facilitate efficient searches across a vast array of reliable company and industry documents. Both these solutions are integral to Bloomberg’s suite of Research Management Solutions, designed to alleviate the workload involved in identifying key points in earnings call transcripts, a valuable resource for informed decision-making.
“With our release of AI-Powered Earnings Call Summaries, we continue to revolutionise the research process by serving customers solutions that combine deep financial domain knowledge, technology expertise and world-class content. With these innovations, we are empowering analysts with critical tools and integrated workflows for their research journey.”
