Alibaba Cloud launches Qovest, a "super investment research assistant" for investors, starting at 99 yuan per month.

Beating AI Express, a news service from Dongcha, reports that Alibaba Cloud has launched Qovest, an AI-powered investment research workstation tailored for professional investors. Users only need to submit research requests, and the tool can automatically query financial data, gather financial reports, break down industrial chains, calculate investment scales, and produce final research reports. For example, when researching the humanoid robot industrial chain, it can break down the unit value and localization level of each segment, generating an interactive industrial chain map. When researching data center power facilities, modifying just one underlying assumption will automatically update the relevant calculations. Qovest also features an "Investment Research Space" where users can save historical research outputs, trading notes, and pending verification questions, eliminating the need to start research from scratch each time. It supports scheduled market tracking: users can set weekly research tasks for gold ETFs, enabling the AI to regularly update data including international gold prices, U.S. dollar indices, ETF holdings, and central bank gold purchases, then generate dynamic analysis dashboards. To enhance the accuracy of financial research, Alibaba Cloud has procured professional financial databases and developed its proprietary financial Agent execution framework, integrating the processes of data access, analysis, and report generation. The company stated that in internal cross-evaluations using two financial benchmarks, FinFIRST and iRaB, Qovest outperformed peers in response quality, speed, and cost, though specific results and test configurations have not been made public. Currently, Qovest is open for invitation-only testing to individual users; registration grants points for free trials, with future subscription plans priced at 99 yuan and 199 yuan per month. An enterprise version for financial institutions is also scheduled to launch soon.
