Brightwave in AI-Powered Research Tool

Answer in brief

Brightwave launched as an AI assistant for investment research in 2024, with source-linked findings. Its homepage now describes agent infrastructure, so buyers should confirm the current product before evaluating it.

Best for

Analysts who want source-linked research reports. Current product is unclear; verify before evaluating.

Pricing

No pricing is published. The CEO declined to share pricing in 2024 coverage. A third-party directory lists contact for pricing.

What it covers

The 2024 announcement named SEC filings, earnings call transcripts, sell-side reports, breaking news, expert network calls, investment memos and internal documents. These were for the research product, not the current homepage.

Citations and verification

The 2024 announcement described Evidence-Backed Findings with source links and Chat with Primary Sources. A 2026 engineering account describes linking generated claims to exact source locations. Neither is confirmed on the current site.

API

The 2024 announcement does not mention an API. The current homepage links to docs but does not describe API access. Ask the company directly.
