The global financial market is the largest and most valuable information ecosystem in the world. It connects billions of people, influences every type of productive human activity and drives tens of trillions of dollars of value. Core to this ecosystem is investment decision making, which identifies areas of productive activity and allocates resources and is carried out by millions of people across the globe.

But the investment decision making process is at a breaking point. The past two decades have seen an exponential increase in the complexity of the global market — more information sources, more asset types, and more disruptive themes (e.g. AI) impacting all aspects of the market. For a person making investment decisions, this means exponentially more depth, breadth and speed on every decision — an impossibility.

People respond to this information deluge by either (i) “zooming in” and focusing solely on a specific area in the market (e.g. a sector or a basket of companies). This reduces the deluge, but makes it much harder to anticipate the effects of adjacent areas or broader themes ( and no market sector evolves in isolation.) Or they can (ii) “zoom out” to study an economy wide theme, but that makes it much harder to find the “needle in a haystack details” that can inform a precise investment decision. Overall, this lack of an easily zoomed-in and zoomed-out picture of the global market results in hundreds of billions of dollars of value lost from missed or suboptimal investment decisions.

Samaya AI was founded to reimagine investment decision making across the global financial market. We want to enable a new level of human-AI collaboration, where every investor is empowered with trusted AI collaborators. These AIs are:

1. Domain Experts: come equipped with a deep understanding of the global market, and able to identify the signal from the noise.
2. Reliable no matter the complexity of the task: can faithfully answer fundamental financial questions as well as autonomously execute work over long periods of time, providing attributed, high quality outputs
3. Instructable: quickly learn the unique views of their human collaborator through feedback
   ‍

We envision a future where this tight human-AI collaboration changes every aspect of the global financial market market, from how information is created, communicated and consumed, as well as the very strategies by which people identify and evaluate productive human activity. Most of all, we want AI to give people the zoomed-in and zoomed-out global market picture back, seamlessly taking them from information to conviction on their investment decisions.
