AI Investor Relations Assistant
An AI assistant for publicly listed companies. EU-native, multilingual, MAR-compliant by design. Cites the source on every answer. Live in 4-6 weeks.
What is an AI investor relations assistant?
An AI investor relations assistant is a sourced-answer chatbot embedded on a publicly listed company's IR website. It answers investor, analyst, and journalist questions in real time, citing the source PDF and page on every response, hard-bounded to the issuer's published disclosures (Annual & Half-Year Reports, AGM minutes, Press Releases, Investor Presentations, ESG Reports). Forward-looking guidance, price targets, and personalised advice are refused by policy.
Industry analysts treat sourced-answer IR retrieval as a 2026 default for listed companies. Gartner expects more than 40% of enterprise applications to embed task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026. ESMA and national MAR regulators have flagged AI-mediated investor communications as a near-term review topic; products engineered around the EU disclosure regime, with mandatory citation and human-approved corpora, pass that review by construction. McKinsey's IR-efficiency research identifies repetitive structured retrieval as the single largest source of reclaimable IR-team capacity.

Frequently asked questions
Will it ever say something we haven't disclosed?
No. The system is hard-bounded to your published corpus (Press Releases, Annual & Half-Year Reports, AGM minutes, Investor Presentations, Investor Day decks, ESG Reports). Forward-looking guidance, price targets and personalised advice are refused by policy, with a complete audit trail.
How does it handle MAR and market-abuse rules?
Every response is anchored to material already in the public domain, with inline citations. Our internal Compliance Officer persona reviews every output before it ships. Optional 'extracts only' mode disables synthesised text entirely for the most conservative deployments.
What does integration actually look like?
A single script tag on the IR site. No backend changes, no content migration, no CMS plugin. The widget runs in an isolated Shadow DOM, weighs under 50 KB gzipped, lazy-loads, is mobile-first and WCAG 2.2 AA compliant.
How long until we go live?
4 to 6 weeks from contract, conditional on access to IR feeds and disclaimer sign-off. Discovery (3-5 days), Design (1 week), Setup & ingest (2-3 weeks), Testing & UAT (1 week), Go-Live + 30-day Hypercare.
Where does the data live?
Enterprise cloud infrastructure aligned with SOC 2 Type II and GDPR. TLS 1.3, per-client origin allowlist, app-layer multi-tenant isolation, daily backups with point-in-time recovery, anonymous session tracking with right-to-erasure.
What if a question falls outside our corpus?
The assistant refuses politely and the query is logged. The nightly meta-analysis clusters these gaps so your IR team can decide whether to expand the FAQ, the next disclosure, or management commentary. Informed by demand instead of guesswork.
