Notified, a tech partner for investor relations, PR and marketing professionals, files a patent application to develop new artificial intelligence-enabled features for its IR Event Platform. The company says that the new AI capabilities—including an Earnings Call Coach—are aimed at empowering investor relations teams to tell their investment story more effectively by analyzing trends, predicting questions, and grading the performance of past and planned capital markets communications. The Earnings Call Coach will collect data from both historical and future corporate earnings calls, webcasts, press releases and news across industries, countries and stock exchanges. “We’re developing proprietary products that will give executives fast access to critical and previously unavailable information, facilitating a more engaging and impactful earnings process while ensuring complete security and compliance,” said Notified president Nimesh Davé.
