Elevator pitch: “Yseop’s Augmented Financial Analyst solution uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology to extract meaning from bank data, and generate reports written in a user’s natural writing style and syntax.

Insights are drawn from structured data including balance sheets, sales reports and income statements using an NLG engine, as well as natural-language understanding (NLU) and machine learning (ML) capabilities. Reports can be written in seven different languages.

Augmented Financial Analyst employs a no-code, drag-and-drop user interface, and allows users to design, configure and customise their reporting models without special tech support.”
