Bloomberg Terminal AI (ASKB) in AI-Powered Research Tool
ASKB is the Terminal's conversational AI layer, offering document search, summaries and cited answers to subscribers. Pricing is not published.
Best for
Investment, equity research and banking professionals already on the Bloomberg Terminal.
Pricing
Bloomberg's AI product page lists no prices and offers a Get Started or Request a Demo button. ASKB is offered to Terminal users, so the cost depends on the client's Terminal contract.
What it covers
ASKB searches Bloomberg content, company transcripts, sell-side research and news, and can add a firm's own proprietary documents. Since the October 2026 release, client chats and uploaded files can also be queried.
Citations and verification
Bloomberg says its AI responses are grounded in its content library, with transparent attribution and direct links to source documents. Answers drawn from chats cite the source chat, and answers drawn from files cite the file and passage.
API
