Deep Dive
What makes each approach unique
Agents monitor dozens of simultaneous calls, delivering live stock-moving takeaways for every company in your coverage. No manual work required during peak season.
Search transcripts after calls conclude. Must manually check each company you cover. One-at-a-time review process during busy periods.
Agents detect breaking developments instantly, analyze impact against historical context, and deliver enriched insights within seconds. You learn about events as they happen.
Must learn about news elsewhere first, then search for related documents. Multi-step process requiring external alerts.
Agents provide context layers: immediate takeaway, historical comparison, related company impacts, and trend analysis. All automatically generated.
Deep document archive enables thorough research once you know what to search for. Full transcripts and filings available.
Save 30+ hours weekly. Agents work continuously in the background. Review curated insights instead of hunting for information.
Requires active search time for each research question. Efficiency depends on search expertise and query quality.
Monitor 2x-3x more companies effortlessly. Agents scale infinitely without additional time investment.
Coverage limited by search bandwidth. Each new company requires proportional time investment.
Near-zero risk. Agents catch developments you didn't know to look for. Comprehensive coverage without blind spots.
Higher risk. Can only find what you search for. May miss important developments outside your query scope.
