Fintool

Fintool is an AI-powered equity research platform that served professional investors with autonomous agents to read filings, analyze earnings calls, and surface research signals. It positioned itself as a daily research tool for hedge funds, asset managers, and investment banks and was acquired by Microsoft in 2026 to integrate with Office/Microsoft 365 for financial services workflows.

Fintool provided agent-based AI that could read earnings calls and filings, synthesize research, and surface signals. In 2026 it launched Fintool V5, a fully agentic experience where an AI agent works autonomously in the background to build a DCF model in Excel, create an earnings deck in PowerPoint, or draft a research memo in Word, and then integrate with Microsoft 365 to enhance financial services workflows.

Who it’s for: Professional investors and knowledge workers in financial services (hedge funds, asset management, investment banking) who require AI-assisted qualitative finance analysis and integrated Office/Microsoft 365 workflows.
