EXPANDING EXISTING USE CASES

Generating alpha expanded to rapid trading strategy creation: enhancing research with generative AI to create

novel trading strategies from new data sources (media, analyst reports and filings)

Algo trading expanded to algo parameter exploration:

Natural language interface to adjust algo parameters

Trade surveillance expanded to generative event detection: Augmentation of trade patterns data with voice and text communications, enhancing rules and alert engines

Predictive maintenance expanded to fault explain-ability:Auto categorisation of new "events" self-learningrules engines and natural language exploration of faults

Data science expanded to multi-dimensional data exploration: perform similarity analysis using time windows to see 'point in time' or 'progression over time' (images, numerical, text)

ENABLING NEW USE CASES

Contracts knowledge-base exploration: Interactive co-pilotfor exploration of contracts; understand changes of in-forcerules over time

Interactive client services: Combine customer service interaction information with temporal interaction data from CRM systems, transcribed conversations and other sources

Similarity search and product recommendations: Hybrid

search of product language databases along with numeric and predictive signals of interest

Code development: search, diagnose and make recommendations from proprietary code knowledge base (and changes over time)

Prompting for demand forecasting: Augment demand forecasting with natural language (web, news, social) and unstructured data (video, images, audio) to maximize insights and context
