Document Processing · Risk Management

Investment professionals needed AI that could reason through complex financial documents and data with the precision, traceability, and multistep thinking required for real analysis rather than generic search results.

Financial experts preferred responses generated by OpenAI’s o1 model 70% of the time
o3‑mini improved intelligence at one-third the latency per turn

Reported impact

Business outcome

Endex improved the coherence and traceability of AI-generated financial analysis, reduced latency for complex workflows, and validated that reasoning-model outputs are preferred by financial experts over non-reasoning alternatives.

Solution

Endex is building an AI Analyst for financial firms by combining several OpenAI models with domain-specific evaluation and retrieval workflows. Rather than leaning on conventional RAG, the system uses reasoning models to retrieve, synthesize, and cross-check financial information the way an analyst would, drawing from firm-specific data, public disclosures, trusted sources, investor decks, Excel models, and filings. OpenAI o1 and o-series models simplified multistep financial reasoning tasks such as precedent transaction analysis, due diligence, IC memo preparation, and model reconciliation, while o3-mini reduced latency enough to make detailed workflows practical. The platform can return outputs as emails, reports, slide decks, or Excel models, and every conclusion is designed to be traced back to its source. Endex pairs this with blind expert testing, FAR benchmark evaluations on tables and charts, and reinforcement fine-tuning so financial professionals receive more referenceable, analyst-style outputs than with non-reasoning models.

Data flow

Internal firm data, public disclosures, investor presentations, Excel models, and other trusted sources are ingested into AI Analyst workflows. Endex routes reasoning across OpenAI models to retrieve facts, detect discrepancies, generate deliverables, and then measures the outputs with FAR benchmarks, blind user tests, and production metrics before returning them to analysts.

Solution architecture

5 components · 2 layers
  1. Compute
    • GPT-4o Supports broad multimodal financial-analysis workflows within Endex’s agent system.
    • o1-mini Provides structured reasoning for multistep financial-analysis tasks.
    • o1-preview Supplies earlier high-depth reasoning capacity for financial workflows during Endex’s evaluation process.
    • o3-mini Improves latency and efficiency for detailed multistep workflows such as CIP analysis and reconciliation.
  2. Serving
    • AI Analyst Acts as the autonomous financial-analysis surface that retrieves, reasons over, and packages complex investment work products.

Architecture clues

  • Engineering team traces model outputs directly in the OpenAI platform with latency and reasoning-depth metrics
  • FAR benchmark measures context usage on tabular and chart data
  • Outputs can be delivered as emails, documents, Excel models, or slide decks
  • Reinforcement fine-tuning improved entity extraction and query intent mapping
