Research written from what only your fund has.
Core reads your notes, the broker reports you receive and your book, then writes the finished piece.
- Morning brief: how the book moved overnight and why, before the open.
- The book in every answer: positions, exposures and NAV, from your own records.
- Your library: broker notes and channel checks, searchable the moment they land.
Every figure, back to its sentence.
Ask a question and Core answers with a full page, not a paragraph, and cites where each number came from.
- Guidance trackers: what a company guided, what it printed, and what your preview expected.
- Cited: click a figure to see the passage in the filing or note.
- Verified: figures Core computed are marked apart from figures it quoted.
Rumors checked against your own evidence.
Paste a headline or a post. Core weighs it against your channel checks, filings and data, and says what would change its mind.
- Verdicts: likely true, uncertain or likely false, claim by claim.
- Evidence: your analysts’ checks next to public filings and shipments data.
- What would change it: the signal to watch next.
Your data. Your model. Your machine.
Core runs on a machine in your office. You choose what leaves the firm, down to nothing at all.
- Your model: Qwen on your own NVIDIA hardware, or Claude, GPT or Gemini under your agreement.
- Accounted for: a model card, an answer log and an inspection pack in one download.
- Checkable: every outbound connection is listed on our security page.

Frequently asked questions
Looking for AlphaSense alternatives?
If your research has to stay in your building, or you want to choose the model, Core is built for that. It writes cited reports, guidance trackers and rumor checks from your notes, broker reports and book on a machine in your office. If you mainly need a large licensed library and expert calls, AlphaSense is strong there.
How is Core different from AlphaSense?
AlphaSense is a cloud research platform, on models AlphaSense picks. Core runs on hardware in your office, writes from your own notes, broker reports and book, and uses the model you choose, down to an open model on your own GPUs.
Can we use Core alongside AlphaSense?
Yes. A fund can keep AlphaSense for outside research and use Core to write from its own notes, broker reports and positions, inside the office.
Does Core run on-premises?
Yes. Core runs on a Mac mini, an NVIDIA DGX Spark or your own GPU server in your office. On a workstation or your own GPU server, documents, model and chat all stay inside, with Qwen as the model.
Which fits the SFC, MAS and FSC rules on AI better, Core or AlphaSense?
No regulator certifies software, so neither is "compliant" on its own; your compliance team decides. The rules ask for a person checking the output, confidential data kept inside the firm, and an accountable record. Core runs on a machine in your office, cites the source page of every figure, logs each Ask answer with its reviewer, and exports an inspection pack framed on the SFC’s principles. Ask AlphaSense how it meets the same duties.
Why not use ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini directly?
You can, under your firm’s AI policy. MAS now expects a written rule on whether and how staff may use AI, to manage “shadow AI”. Core gives the desk one sanctioned tool: cited figures, an answer log and a machine in your office, and it can run Claude, GPT or Gemini under your own agreement.
