Introduction - What is Alfa?

Alfa is Boosted.ai's agentic AI platform for investment research. Built specifically for investment teams, Alfa keeps watch over your universe, investigates material events, and delivers sourced and timely research.

What you can do in Alfa

• Start your day informed. Your Home page, tailored to your watchlist or portfolio, surfaces what's changed and what to watch for today, organized so you can scan it quickly and act on what matters.

• Ask questions and get real answers. Chat lets you query your universe in plain language and get back verified, sourced results - not just a summary of what's on the web.

• Put research on autopilot. Agents run the workflows you'd otherwise do by hand, be it monitoring names or tracking catalysts, on a schedule, without you having to remember to check.

• Build models without leaving the platform. Generate DCFs, comps, and other financial models directly from Alfa into exportable excel files.

Backed by real, primary source data

Alfa is not guessing from what's on the open web. It draws directly on a curated set of licensed data providers. That means SEC filings (via EDGAR/SEDAR+), CapIQ fundamentals and pricing, earnings transcripts and reports, sell-side research, and news from over 150,000 sources, plus more than 7,000 structured time-series data sets going back to 2000.

What makes Alfa different

Every output in Alfa is grounded and traceable. When Alfa tells you something, you can see exactly where it came from, whether that's a specific line in a filing or a moment in an an earnings call. Unlike a typical chat tool, a question doesn't have to be a dead end: what starts as an ad-hoc question can become a recurring, automated agent that keeps working for you going forward.
