We currently have 2,245 active bots on our platform. This month we are highlighting Morgan Stanley's AskResearch Bot. 

Morgan Stanley produces around 86,000+ research reports globally per year. To disseminate relevant information to colleagues and clients, analysts and sales teams need to find, select, and share unstructured data stored in silos across platforms, which is time-consuming and error-prone. AskResearch is their Research's digital assistant, which can swiftly surface global company, industry and macro reports and financial projections. It can also help create lists of stocks based on different criteria and uncover important events at a company and macro level.
