askFinz

What is askFinz?

askFinz is a multi-model AI platform with separate workspaces for chat, research, code, news, finance, and more. It routes each question to a suitable model from providers like OpenAI, Gemini, and Mistral, and backs research with its own web index. It is currently in private access, with invites rolling out.

Top Features:

• Model routing: sends each question to a fitting model and names which one answered.
• Specialist agents: separate research, coding, and browsing agents that take on tasks for you.
• Own web index: research draws on a self-run index of papers, filings, and news.

Use Cases:

• Equity research: build investment theses from filings and news with every claim footnoted.
• Software work: plan a refactor, work through it in steps, and review the diff.
• Daily briefings: get clustered news as a written or spoken morning briefing.

Who Can Use askFinz?

• Financial analysts: pull filings, earnings calls, and market news into cited research reports.
• Developers: use the Code workspace, API, and desktop app for coding projects.
• Operators: ask plain-English questions of spreadsheets and pin answers to dashboards.

• Starter ($15 per month): 10 GB storage, unlimited API calls, and all AI models.
• Pro ($49 per month): 50 GB storage, team collaboration, advanced analytics, and priority support.
