ICIS Launches: Ask ICIS Generative AI Commodities Assistant

London-based global commodities intelligence provider ICIS is launching what is said to be the first-of-its-kind generative AI assistant, called Ask ICIS. This AI assistant is expected to enhance access to ICIS’ well-recognized intelligence and insights for the energy and chemicals markets. As commodity markets become more complex and dynamic, the need for both highly accurate and up-to-the-minute information has never been more important. Underpinned by unparalleled chemical and energy market datasets and decades of editorial expertise, Ask ICIS essentially combines ICIS’ vast market intelligence with the power of generative AI technology.

Currently in beta testing, Ask ICIS is available in multiple languages and supported with citations. Ask ICIS enables customers to delve deeper, supporting timely, confident strategic decision-making with comprehensive market intelligence. Sourced exclusively from ICIS’ expert data and insight, Ask ICIS connects users to content tailored directly to their needs based on their role, region and priorities. Source citations are built into every response, allowing users to delve deeper and enabling more confident, timely, strategic decision-making. In addition, Ask ICIS also provides bespoke suggested prompts and follow-up questions to enable users to uncover additional insights and “unknown unknowns” to gain an unprecedented view and understanding of market events.

Says ICIS CEO Jeff Skelton, “At ICIS, we are committed to delivering the best possible intelligence to our customers so that they can arrive at the best possible outcomes for the decisions they need to make. Through Ask ICIS, we are taking our ambition one step further by unlocking access to our trusted and actionable insights to provide immediate and personalized responses to complex customer inquiries in a fraction of the time. We are committed to helping our customers adopt and scale new technologies, enabling them to make better decisions and bring the maximum value possible to their organizations.”
