9fin brings generative AI to debt capital markets

By Gloria Methri

9fin, a provider of AI-powered data, news, and analytics for debt capital markets in the UK, has announced the launch of “9fin AI“. The AI tool enables clients to ask questions about companies within the debt capital markets and get high-quality answers in real-time.

The ChatGPT-style interface is fully integrated into the company’s existing search functionality. It leverages large language models and GPT-enabled technology, fuelled by proprietary 9fin data.

In addition to powerful anti-hallucination safeguards, all answers generated by 9fin AI have an audit trail back to their underlying sources, ensuring maximum accuracy, transparency, and trustworthiness.

This is the second GenAI-enabled product brought to market by 9fin, after the launch of its “Earnings Call Transcription” tool earlier in 2023. The full GenAI suite of products is currently available to all 9fin trialists and subscribers at no additional cost.

Sean Löfgren, Head of Data Science at 9fin said, “Asking ChatGPT questions about public companies is powerful, but debt capital markets have vast amounts of private information that large language models (LLMs) cannot access. We have now taken GenAI to the next level by integrating private and proprietary datasets while also ensuring maximum accuracy through sophisticated guardrails and safeguards against incorrect outputs or hallucinations.”

Steven Hunter, Co-Founder and CEO added, “We have been leveraging AI, machine learning, and computer vision since we founded the business in 2016. We are incredibly excited to add even more generative AI capabilities to our platform.”

“Our clients can now find and distill complex information in seconds using 9fin AI, helping them save time, outperform their peers and win business. Our mission is to organize the world’s debt information and make it accessible and useful through technology. Embracing the power of LLMs is an amazing step on the next part of that journey.”
