We are excited to share an update on our AI-driven feature for news monitoring at scoutAsia. Users can now use our AI topics to monitor news about Product Development, Business Contraction, Debt Offering, Initial Public Offering and Financial Results.  

scoutAsia web app currently offers approx. 40 pre-trained topics including:  

  • Covid 19 related (Vaccines, Treatment, Testing etc. 
  • Market-related (Stocks, Currencies, Interest Rates etc.) 
  • Macroeconomy (Monetary Policy, Economy etc.) 
  • Business trends (Business expansion, Digitalisation, Upsizing & Layoffs, Digitalisation etc.) 
  • Financials (Earnings Upgrade/Downgrade, Financial Distress etc.) 
  • Corporate monitoring (Management Changes, Mergers & Acquisitions etc.)   

  

Users can let machines read thousands of news articles every day and pick up the right content for them. With AI technology, it empowers our users to follow important topics & various publications effortlessly.  

 

The five additional topics are:  

  • Product Development
    The development or launch of new products and services 
    • It covers company news on new products, tools and services in the region. You could leverage this ScoutAI by keeping an eye on the product development in the market. This topic is useful in monitoring your competitors too. 

 

  • Business Contraction 
    Business contraction plans, including production cuts and store count reductions. It also includes companies exiting from a particular country of business 
    • With additional filtering by company name/industry/county & region, you could potentially use this AI topic to monitor risks around your regional supply chain or the distribution network.  

 

  • Financial Results 
    Financial performance of companies 
    • This topic mainly covers news articles on financial results. It is useful if you use this topic and combine your search by sector filtering or company names.  

 

  • Debt Offering 
    Fundraising plans and activities using debt instruments  
    • We have been offering an AI topic on “Fund Raising” that covers news about IPOs, placements, rights issues, debt-based fund-raising (notes, bonds), and capital injections by venture capitalists and other investors. “Debt Offering” is a derived child of this “Fund Raising” family.
       
  • Initial Public Offering 
    Fundraising plans and activities via initial public offerings  
    • This is another child of “Fund Raising”. It focuses on IPO related news across Asia. If you also filter by country/region or sector, you could specifically receive updates around the area of your interest.
