Guidepoint, a prominent player in the expert network space, has launched a mobile application, Guidepoint360, bringing its AI-powered research capabilities to iOS and Android devices. The move extends the functionality of its recently unveiled Guidepoint360 platform, designed to streamline access to expert intelligence for institutional investors, consulting firms, and global enterprises.
The app, announced on , is positioned as a solution for professionals needing rapid access to insights while on the move. According to Guidepoint CEO Albert Sebag, “Capital moves fast. Research has to move faster.” The mobile app aims to deliver the same level of rigor, speed, and compliance expected from the core platform, but optimized for mobile execution.
AI-Powered Research on the Go
Guidepoint360 integrates live expert consultations with AI-driven tools, creating a continuous research pipeline. The app’s key feature is its integration with AskGP, Guidepoint’s conversational AI assistant. AskGP is designed to quickly surface cited answers from a library of over 60,000 expert interview transcripts, significantly reducing the time required to extract key insights. This contrasts with traditional research methods that can take days to yield comparable results.
Beyond rapid insight generation, the app provides real-time alerts and status updates on active research projects and expert engagements. It also streamlines project management with integrated messaging and scheduling features, all within a single interface. This consolidated workflow is intended to improve efficiency and collaboration for research teams.
Enterprise-Grade Compliance
Guidepoint emphasizes that the mobile app maintains the same enterprise-grade compliance controls as its core platform. This is a critical consideration for institutional clients operating under strict regulatory requirements. Customizable compliance features are built into the app, ensuring that research activities adhere to established standards.
The Evolution of Guidepoint360
The launch of the mobile app builds upon the foundation laid by the initial release of Guidepoint360 in . Guidepoint360 was conceived as a consolidated workspace designed to merge AI capabilities with expert knowledge. The platform brings together 1-to-1 expert interactions with Guidepoint’s network of over 1.75 million advisors, access to the company’s extensive library of expert transcripts, and the AskGP AI assistant.
According to Kaushik Deka, Guidepoint’s Chief Technology and AI Officer, Guidepoint360 demonstrates that “AI’s most meaningful impact is in enhancing, not replacing, expert research.” The platform aims to provide instant synthesis of information with clear citations, allowing users to verify the source and rationale behind AI-generated answers.
A Growing Intelligence Layer
Guidepoint’s strategy centers around creating a continuously evolving intelligence layer. By integrating every expert call, transcript, and interaction into a single pipeline, the platform aims to compound insights over time. This approach differs from traditional research models where each project often starts anew, potentially leading to duplicated effort and lost knowledge.
Availability and Access
The Guidepoint360 mobile app is currently available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. Access to the platform requires a Guidepoint account. Interested parties can request access and learn more by visiting www.guidepoint.com.
