FINANCE

Investment Research Assistant

CHALLENGE

A financial research platform for investment firms wanted to build a natural language interface for its clients to ask complex questions and get synthesized answers across financial reports, analyst research, investor call transcripts, and other data. The company initially needed to improve search relevance to boost client productivity and satisfaction, and then it wanted to build a full conversational AI assistant with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).


SOLUTION

The company discovered Cohere Rerank  through the AWS Marketplace. They fine-tuned Rerank and  implemented it, which provided an immediate improvement in search relevance on top of existing legacy search tools. Subsequently, the customer is implementing an embedding solution using Cohere Embed to further improve search performance. Lastly, they will build the AI assistant with a fine-tuned Command that will allow users to ask questions and get synthesized answers with citations in a natural language interface.

How it works

STEP 1.

Unstructured financial documents are embedded by Embed and stored in a vector database.

STEP 2.

Fine-tuned Command interprets a user’s requests and creates queries to retrieve relevant answers across legacy and vector search sources.

STEP 3.

Fine-tuned Rerank re-orders responses based on relevance, improving the accuracy of search results.

STEP 4.

Fine-tuned Command synthesizes a conversational response back to the user, incorporating answers along with citations.
