Optimize for AI Discovery. Execute with Confidence.

 

The Q1 2026 Platform Release

With investors turning to AI for discovery and zero-error earnings now expected, the Q4 Platform is stepping forward with what IR teams need now.

This release pairs stronger narrative protection with operational precision across your critical IR moments.

The rules of IR have changed.

From the rise of AI-driven investor research to the high-stakes pressure of earnings day, IROs are facing a new landscape of risk and opportunity. 

We are moving beyond "best-in-class tools" to provide the definitive IR operating system that unifies engagement, intelligence, and execution into a single, secure environment.

The Q1 2026 release addresses two fundamental needs that keep IROs up at night: being found and accurately represented in an AI-first world, and executing flawless investor communications for market-sensitive moments.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO): Own Your Narrative in the AI Era

Investors are increasingly moving away from traditional research to AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity. If your data isn't optimized for these engines, your company risks being invisible or misrepresented.

  • Accuracy: Improve the quality and consistency of AI-generated responses and ensure your company information is structured so AI engines reflect your facts accurately
  • Discoverability: Ensure your company’s information is cited as the authoritative source for AI engines, instead of third-party sources
  • Future-Ready IR: Shift from traditional search to an AI-first discovery model, ensuring investors get the right story when they ask AI about your company
