Our take
Kensho combines natural language search queries, graphical user interfaces, and secure cloud computing to create analytics tools for investment professionals. Addressing the three biggest challenges surrounding investment analysis on Wall Street today, speed, scale, and automation, Kensho's intelligent computer systems are capable of answering complex financial questions posed in plain English.
Kensho’s AI and machine learning systems strive to make S&P data that much more relevant. Given the sheer amount of data and the abundance of knowledge workers trying to categorize it, Kensho’s data pipeline system processes unstructured data for data discovery relevant to clients’ needs. Whether clients seek data search and classification or transcription, Kensho’s various products allow a variety of data-driven financial applications.
Global data analytics continues to grow by 25% until 2030 from the present estimate of $25 billion. High profile customers such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanely and Citigroup are among those utilizing Kensho products to improve their processes. With the growing volume of raw data coupled with the demand for better machine learning, Kensho is poised to continue to overcome challenges.
