A new wave of AI-powered tools is starting to reshape investment research in fintech. As Forbes recently reported in an article by Jeff Kauflin, companies ranging from trading app Robinhood to lean startups in New York are now using AI agents—software that can understand context, make decisions, and carry out tasks—to streamline the time-consuming work of analyzing investments. While AI in fintech has so far been focused on customer service and back-office automation, it’s now moving into deeper, more strategic territory.
A growing number of companies are building AI tools designed specifically for investors, analysts, and financial institutions. Among them:
- Hebbia – Connects directly to virtual data rooms to analyze private market data, assess risks, and generate investment memos. The company says its tools can save private equity firms up to 30 hours per deal. Backed by Index Ventures, Peter Thiel, and Andreessen Horowitz.

Consumer-facing platforms are also getting on board:

While most companies in this space are still early-stage, they’re targeting some of the most manual, labor-intensive tasks in investment research—an area that’s long overdue for innovation.
