ChatGPT for Financial Services is initially focused on investment banking and equity research, and it is designed to help bankers develop research, financial models and customized client materials. Its development was shaped by OpenAI’s design partnership with Morgan Stanley and Evercore, according to the release.
“Reliable access to data and high-quality artifact creation proved to be the biggest pain points for their teams,” OpenAI said in the release. “Our work with partners will inform post training, product improvements and our expansion into other financial services categories.”
ChatGPT for Financial Services combines built-in financial data with the reasoning of GPT-6 Astra, and it will incorporate newer models as they are released, according to the release.
The experience includes datasets that cover earnings transcripts, financial statements, company fundamentals and private companies; access to the customer’s existing data subscriptions; more reliable connections to financial providers; GPT-6 Astra’s capabilities around information retrieval, financial reasoning and artifact generation; and the ability to turn analysis into valuation models, research notes and pitchbooks, per the release.
“ChatGPT for Financial Services is one way we serve customers across the industry, but we recognize that it will require a range of solutions to address the needs of the finance industry,” OpenAI said in the release. “OpenAI has a long history of collaborating with innovators to unlock novel AI solutions. Financial services firms and developers can use our API to build specialized applications for the needs they understand best.”
