AlphaSense is an AI-powered market intelligence and search platform used by hedge funds, banks, corporates, consulting firms, and law firms to accelerate research and decision-making. The platform unifies 500M+ public and private documents - SEC filings, broker research from 1,500+ firms, news, earnings call transcripts, internal company content, and 260,000+ Tegus expert call transcripts (Tegus was acquired in December 2023 for ~$930M) - behind a generative search and agent layer (GenSearch, Deep Research, Workflow Agents). The developer surface is gated, enterprise-only, and is split across two contracts: an Agent API for embedding GenSearch / Deep Research / MCP tools into customer AI agents, and a set of Utility APIs (Search, Brokers, Companies, Watchlist, Trends, User, Download, Ingestion) for direct programmatic access. Both are exposed over a single OAuth 2.0-protected GraphQL endpoint at https://api.alpha-sense.com/gql, with a companion REST Ingestion API for Enterprise Intelligence customers. AlphaSense Enterprise Intelligence Private Cloud ships with a public Go CLI (AlphaSense-Engineering/privatecloud-cli) for installing and validating the Kubernetes-hosted environment in a customer's own VPC.
