This launch signals that AI is evolving beyond simple document summarization into industry-specific workspaces that require specialized data. However, Investment decisions or regulatory documents should not be finalized based solely on model outputs.
From now on We need to verify the accuracy of source citations, validate calculations, ensure the isolation of internal information, and confirm the actual reduction in work hours.
