Thirty years of trusted market intelligence, now just a question away: ISI launches AskISI in EMIS

New AI research assistant brings three decades of EMIS’ proprietary and licensed intelligence into a conversational experience, helping professionals covering or operating in fast-growing markets to move from question to informed decision faster and with full confidence.

LONDON, 16 July 2026 — ISI, the proprietary data platform for global market intelligence, today launched AskISI, a new AI-powered research capability within EMIS, ISI’s award-winning emerging markets company and industry intelligence research platform. AskISI is designed to help fast-growing markets research professionals move from question to informed decision faster. 

For over 30 years, EMIS has been the leading provider of company and industry intelligence across emerging markets, trusted by strategists, investors, and risk teams to navigate complex markets with confidence. Today, ISI is bringing that same trusted intelligence to a new, conversational experience with the launch of AskISI.

Early users have found AskISI can cut the time needed to prepare a single market report by up to two weeks and reduce data compilation across a set of companies from roughly half an hour to seconds. 

“AskISI has transformed the way we conduct research by significantly reducing the time required to gather and analyse information—from 15–20 minutes to as little as 5 minutes. Its ability to synthesize information, provide credible source-backed insights, and deliver fast, targeted answers has greatly improved our team’s efficiency. Most importantly, the information is grounded in actual data, making it highly reliable and helping us avoid the hallucinations often found in other AI tools. As we continue to use AskISI, its impact on streamlining and enhancing our research process keeps growing” said Filipe Mesquita, Market Intelligence Coordinator at Tigre.

“AI is only as valuable as the quality of the intelligence behind it. With AskISI, we’re combining the power of generative AI with three decades of ISI trusted research and market expertise, helping our clients find answers faster while maintaining confidence in the sources behind them” said Steve Pulley, CEO of ISI Markets.

 “AskISI powered by EMIS is designed to accelerate research. Users can now find trusted answers quickly by leveraging EMIS’s rich ecosystem of research reports, news, and company filings, so they can focus on what they do best: making informed decisions and driving results.” said Diego Obere, EMIS Managing Director.

What sets AskISI apart isn’t just the AI, it’s the intelligence behind it.

Key capabilities of AskISI 

• Faster research: AskISI delivers answers drawn from EMIS’ 2.7M+ research reports, 40M+ news articles, and company filings, reducing research tasks that previously took hours to a matter of seconds. 
• Verified sourcing: Every answer is grounded exclusively in EMIS’ proprietary and licensed intelligence, with a direct reference back to the original source document. 
• Broader research coverage: AskISI surfaces trends, non-obvious connections, competitive dynamics, and strategic signals that manual research may miss.

• Multilingual research: AskISI supports research across EMIS’s local, niche, and global content, originally sourced in 68 languages, allowing users to work across markets without needing translation. 

AskISI is available within EMIS today, with plans to roll out across ISI’s other product lines in the coming weeks.
