Welcome back everyone!

In case you missed it, our 2Q26 State of AI in Finance Survey has been launched and will be released soon.

BUT - the access of this remains to a perk to contributing or paid members of the Buyside Hub community.

There’s a variety of mixed opinions and some tools are more favored than others. Whether you love leveraging AI, or are frustrated about by your tools, we’ve got the perfect survey for you:

We want to hear about the AI tools you use within the workplace, your use cases, where you’re finding success, what the shortcomings are, and how you’re viewing AI’s role in your industry.

We are primarily covering the Buyside (Private Equity, Credit, Asset Management) and Investment Banking in this report.

Why you should contribute:

  1. To ensure you get access to the final report

  2. To extend out or renew your access

Many of you are on 3-6 month access periods on Buyside Hub - if you want to ensure you can access the platform for longer, without having to convert to a paid plan, you should be racing to fill this out.

Guidance for filling out the survey:

  1. Fill it out on your computer so you type out responses faster and with ease

  2. Make sure you include the email address associated with your Buyside Hub account

If you want to get the Industry’s honest view on AI, then take a moment to fill out the survey!
