Sales Manager at Unilever
Research management has transformed our earnings work and consistently saves over half our time
AlphaSense handles image and screen captures very well. The imaging screen capture feature helps my team in practice by making research notes more useful. Another valuable feature that AlphaSense offers is AI summaries of earnings reports. AlphaSense has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to publish notes in the system to ensure everyone has the latest thinking from coverage analysis.

Automation has accelerated agent workflows and now needs broader connections for enterprise data
In the current function calling, if Fireworks AI could be added as part of our RAG system not only with the function calling we are using now but also with a variety of other connections, then an even better situation would be possible. Fireworks is based on tool calling, so it needs to add more different kinds of connections to enable faster data retention and optimization. Although multiple optimal optimization or measurement methodologies for using LLMs are being discussed, when using them inside enterprises, the main thing is actually measuring work handling capability or work processing speed. Based on that, and also through what might be called interviews with business-side staff, we measured the speed improvements in a somewhat indirect manner.

"Fireworks AI has positively impacted my organization by helping my productivity go up."
"Fireworks AI has a solid API and is quite easy to interact with."
"The inference itself works fine, with reasonable model breadth and speed, and my problem is entirely with billing, not the underlying technology."

Cons

"AlphaSense could improve by incorporating an Excel API so that I can extract the information more easily directly with an Excel plugin."

"I would improve the Excel plugins, which are already present."
"AlphaSense can be improved by having a mechanism to add comments inside my own notes."
"I would rate AlphaSense's customer support as lacking since I have not had any experience."
"One area for improvement could be the high compute requirements for larger data sets that need to be improved."
"Fireworks AI could be improved, as documentation could be clearer in some areas, especially around advanced configs."
"The customer support for Fireworks AI is average."
"Based on my exploration so far, I find that it is too early to judge any improvements or negative aspects of Fireworks AI, as I am still in the exploration phase."
"The only challenge is that Fireworks AI is not a ready-made business application; you have to customize it to suit your organization's taste, and it lacks a user-friendly dashboard, making it very difficult to grasp."
"Fireworks AI can be improved by addressing that costs can rise at scale."
"One of the things that could improve Fireworks AI is the cost, which I think is really expensive."
"When using the API, it does not return information about the charges for image generation, which would be useful for our solution."
"Receiving a $40,000 bill out of nowhere, for usage I never knowingly incurred and which my own dashboard does not reflect, has been an extremely stressful experience."
