Bloomberg said it is making its conversational artificial-intelligence interface, ASKB, available to all users, reports Steve Rosenbush of The Wall Street Journal.
Rosenbush reports, “The business and financial information giant began rolling out ASKB to users in a limited fashion early this year, and it is now used by more than one-third of all Bloomberg Terminal subscribers. The generative AI interface sits on top of a complex system of models and AI agents.
“Allowing users to add their own information and context to ASKB will feed the AI system with highly valuable data that it hasn’t been able to access and that is increasingly too voluminous and complex for the human mind to quickly synthesize on its own.
“The Bloomberg Terminal is a primary source of market data, news articles, earnings call summaries, sell-side research and other information for financial professionals. While this information is already accessible to ASKB, there is a significant volume of highly valuable terminal user information that remains unaccessible, including user watchlists and approximately 40 million daily Instant Bloomberg chats.”
