February 2, 2026

The Institutional AI Adoption Curve

By 2026, over 80% of institutional investors use some form of AI in their research process. The question is no longer "should we use AI?" but "how do we use it most effectively?"

Key Use Cases for Institutional AI

1. Earnings Call Analysis

Tools like Calypso process earnings transcripts within minutes, extracting key debates, sentiment, and management tone. This allows analysts to cover more names without sacrificing depth.

2. Document Search & Synthesis

AI monitors news flow and social sentiment to flag potential risks across portfolio holdings in real-time.
