Q: Finance question
Hi there.
One of my client is a hedge fund.
They have to go through long documents (400 pages long merger prospectus, investment banking memorandums, analyst reports...).
Question 1: do you feel your solution is a good fit for such a use case?
I have tried 2 of these prospectus in trial mode. The responses I got were OK but not amazing.
I wanted to get insights + analysis. The questions I asked seemed to orient the response in a way that caused bias.
I have also used ChatGPT, Claude and perplexity (pro accounts) and the results were not good either.
Question 2 : how different is Afforai from those tools in the way it deals with documents?
Question 3 : is it possible to add internet searches to the documents uploaded? For instance; asking questions about a specific deal or company. I could not make this work in trial mode.

Regarding your experience with other products you've trialed, all AI tools are prone to AI hallucination. This is not avoidable Iit is something we are constantly working on and we have put a lot of information in the User Guide on how to reduce hallucination on the user side. Keep in mind, AI and LLMs have inherent limitations, that even billion dollar companies are working on to improve, including Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, etc. So, we do our best and do what we can in Afforai.
Happy Black Friday!!
