Kensho is the AI and data analytics subsidiary of S&P Global, one of the world's leading financial data companies. Founded in 2013 and acquired by S&P Global in 2018 for $550 million, Kensho applies AI to financial data assets at a scale that external companies cannot replicate — S&P Global's proprietary market data, ratings, indices, and corporate information.
Kensho's AI capabilities are primarily delivered through S&P Global's existing financial data products rather than as a standalone tool. Kensho Scribe provides AI transcription and structuring of financial documents — earnings call transcripts, analyst reports, regulatory filings — turning unstructured text into structured data searchable at scale.
Kensho Link identifies and connects entities across financial datasets — understanding that 'Apple Inc.', 'AAPL', and 'the Cupertino company' all refer to the same entity, and linking them across millions of documents automatically. This entity resolution is fundamental to financial data analysis at scale.
Kensho NERD (Named Entity Recognition and Disambiguation) and Kensho Extract enable systematic information extraction from financial documents — extracting specific data points from SEC filings, earnings call transcripts, and analyst reports at scale rather than requiring manual review.
For institutional investors, financial services firms, and data-driven asset managers, Kensho's AI capabilities within S&P Global's data ecosystem provide analytically grounded market intelligence.
Kensho AI runs as document analysis llm software built around text and data workflows. Users typically start with a prompt, upload, or connected data source, and the underlying model handles the heavy lifting before returning a result you can refine or export. It's available on web and api.
