Kensho
Kensho is S&P Global's AI engine, built to structure, enrich, and retrieve financial and business data for enterprise workflows. Its public AI Toolkit at services.kensho.com gives teams a hands-on way to test core capabilities before committing to a broader deployment.
The toolkit bundles four products aimed at finance and research teams. Scribe handles speech-to-text for complex business audio. NERD identifies entities in text and links them to external databases. Link matches messy company records to S&P Global Company IDs. Extract pulls structured data from tables and text inside PDF documents.
Kensho positions these tools for analysts, data scientists, and research teams who need accurate transcription, entity resolution, company matching, and document extraction without building models from scratch. Free trials are available for each product with defined usage limits, and enterprise access runs through Kensho and S&P Global sales.
Scribe transcribes business audio with a reported 25-point accuracy gain over common transcription services
Scribe processes about two minutes of audio in under one second
NERD identifies companies, people, places, and events in text across roughly 100 million entities
NERD links entity output to Capital IQ or Wikimedia for deeper research context
Link matches company records to S&P Global Company IDs using as little as a company name
Extract pulls table and text data from complex PDFs and can standardize financial metrics and periods
Free trials include 150 minutes of Scribe transcripts, 500 NERD pages, 500 Link rows, and 500 Extract pages
Four specialized finance tools in one toolkit with clear free trial limits
Deep integration with S&P Global and Capital IQ company data
Scribe is tuned for difficult real-world business audio, not just clean recordings
Link can return matches from minimal input like a company name alone
Free trials are capped and enterprise pricing requires a sales conversation
Toolkit signup requires a work email, which limits casual testing
Individual product apps live on separate subdomains rather than one unified workspace
