Samaya AI

Samaya AI builds research agents for investment banks, sales and trading desks, hedge funds and asset managers. Its pitch is that in this work, being right matters more than sounding fluent.

The agents monitor filings, broker research and social media, write sector reports, build presentations from a firm's own documents and answer complex questions with cited evidence. They run on Samaya's own finance language models combined with frontier models.

Morgan Stanley is a named customer across research, sales and trading, and banking, and Samaya states more than 10,000 seats. It states SOC 2 compliance and offers virtual private cloud and on premise compatible deployment. Its founders came from Google Brain and Stanford.

Assessment

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 6 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
AA on AI CentralityThe artificial intelligence is the product. Remove the models and there is nothing left to sell.
Vendor Published

Agents automate multi step workflows, monitor markets and generate financial models, reports and presentations, and question answering returns cited answers across filings and broker research. Nothing operable would remain without the models.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
CC on Autonomy and Oversight ModelAutonomy is claimed and oversight is asserted without a mechanism, or full automation is presented as the entire disclosure. Human in the loop appears as a phrase rather than a described control.
Vendor Published

Multi step workflows run under agents, and an economic agent produces quantitative predictions through multi stage reasoning without a person directing the steps. Approval gates and review before output reaches research delivered to clients are not described.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
BB on Model Risk Management and TransparencyReal transparency mechanisms are published, such as per alert explainability, confidence scoring or split testing, without the validation package or supervisory mapping behind them.
Vendor Published

Models are purpose built for factuality, and a comparative figure of 96 percent accuracy against 57 percent for GPT based systems concedes that performance should be measured. Its tester, method and question set are unnamed, and model documentation is absent.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
BB on Operational and Outcome EvidenceVendor aggregate claims with real figures, or audited scale disclosures from a publicly listed company.
Vendor Published

Morgan Stanley uses the platform across research, sales and trading and banking, with its global director of research, Katy Huberty, quoted, and more than 10,000 seats are claimed. A top five hedge fund, named only by role, is said to have chosen it after pilots with about 40 vendors.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship
CC on AI Safety and Data StewardshipGeneral assurances that do not answer the question this axis asks, which is whether one customer’s data trains models serving its competitors. Unbounded cross client learning stated with no boundary grades here too.
Vendor Published

Custom models are trained and combined with frontier models while the platform stores a major bank's research library, and whether customer documents train either is not stated. What frontier providers receive, and whether anything pools across customers, goes unaddressed.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
CC on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA standard privacy policy that covers the website rather than the service, or silence on a product that touches limited consumer data.
Vendor Published

A privacy policy last modified August 13, 2024 covers the website only, leaving platform data to separate terms. Research libraries and restricted internal notes from banks sit on the platform with no published handling, retention or subprocessor detail.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
BB on Security Certifications and Trust CenterA recognized certification named in the vendor’s own material without the artifact, or with a scope or renewal question the buyer has to raise.
Vendor Published

User level access controls, granular permissions and audit logs sit beside a stated SOC 2 compliance. SOC 2 type, audit period and trust portal details are not given.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
CC on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is unstated. Most vendors in this index are technology suppliers and being unlicensed is the correct posture, so this grade records silence about the posture, not a missing license.
Vendor Published

Inside a bank's research division the output helps create client insights, which places it near analyst conduct rules on independence, disclosure and supervision. How machine generated content enters that process, and how information barriers hold when one platform serves research, trading and banking, is not explained.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it, on a product whose bias surface is modest.
Vendor Published

Markets and companies are the subjects, so accuracy governance is the question, and a claim of no hallucinations discourages the checking the product otherwise enables. Where agents degrade, including the economic modeling agent, is left unexplained.

AI Liability and Recourse
CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms that enable challenge, such as audit trails and source traceability, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the person affected.
Vendor Published

Cited evidence lets an analyst verify a claim before it travels. Clients of the bank receive research shaped by the system without learning it was involved, and the vendor offers no accuracy guarantee or remediation term despite promising no hallucinations.

Integration and Deployment
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
CC on Model Supply Chain DisclosureThe architecture is described and no provider is named.
Vendor Published

Proprietary finance specific models combine with frontier models from providers that are never named. Hosting providers, content sources and a subprocessor list are also unpublished.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
CC on Core Systems and Integration DepthIntegration claimed through standards or connectors with no system named and nothing to verify.
Vendor Published

Filings, broker research and internal notes are ingested, and agents can be reached from ChatGPT, Claude and other applications through model context protocol servers or an API. Those are access routes, and no market data vendor, research system or document repository is named as an integration.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
BB on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyStated residency commitments or regional hosting options.
Vendor Published

Virtual private cloud or sandboxed deployment with isolated execution is described, with cloud and on premises compatible options, so a bank can keep its documents in an environment it controls. Deployment documentation, hosting region and residency are unstated.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and engagement runs through a demo form, which is the norm in this index.
Vendor Published

Neither seats, agents nor query volume carry a published price. Structures for a global bank across three divisions and a single hedge fund would normally differ widely.

Institution and Segment Coverage
BB on Institution and Segment CoverageNamed segments with dedicated material behind part of the coverage.
Vendor Published

Sell side research, hedge funds and asset managers are among the named functions inside institutional securities. Commercial and retail banking, lending, payments and insurance are not addressed.

Head to Head

Compared With

Most editorial comparisons pair two vendors the index assesses as direct competitors for the same buyer. Some pair vendors that are adjacent rather than rival, where the useful question is where one ends and the other begins. Each carries a verdict, the buyer conditions that favor each vendor, and a graded side by side.
