AllMind AI vs S&P Capital IQ
Both serve institutional investors, but they were built in different eras. AllMind AI is the AI-native research terminal analysts and PMs use to research a name and ship a cited model, memo, or deck. S&P Capital IQ is the legacy institutional data terminal (deep fundamentals, private-company and transactions data, and an Excel plugin) with AI added on top.
Reads and cites filings, earnings, broker research, and your own data room, then builds the models, memos, and decks in your firm's own templates.
A deep fundamentals, private-company, and transactions database with Excel-native workflows and AI now layered on top.
Need the deepest private-company and deal-comp database with Excel workflows? Capital IQ. Want AI-native, cited deliverables across your coverage? AllMind.

Answers the AI writes for you
AllMind reads and cites primary sources (filings, earnings calls, broker research, news, and your internal memos), then drafts the memo, model, or deck for you, every claim traceable to the line it came from. S&P Capital IQ is a data terminal: ChatIQ and Document Intelligence answer questions over S&P's corpus with citations, but analysts still build the model, memo, and deck by hand.
Your sources and your own data room, in one place
AllMind centralizes the research stack teams juggle today across AlphaSense, Capital IQ, FactSet, and Bloomberg: broker research is built in, and analysts can drop CIMs, models, notes, and deal files into a data room the AI reasons and cites over. It also connects directly to your own data warehouse or lakehouse (Snowflake, Databricks, and S3) through scoped, role-based IAM access that queries your tables in place, so internal data never leaves your environment and flows into workflows, reports, grids, and the data room beside AllMind's market data and broker research. Capital IQ has deep broker research too, but its AI runs only on S&P's curated corpus, so you can't upload your own documents or connect your warehouse for analysis.
Models in minutes, decks in about an hour
Generate a full equity model (comps, DCF, and cash flow) in minutes, a CIO-ready deck in about an hour, and outputs in your firm's own templates, across public equities, fixed income and credit, wealth, and private markets. Capital IQ's Office plugins refresh data inside slides and spreadsheets you've already built. That's powerful, but you still build the output yourself.
Where S&P Capital IQ is strong
S&P Capital IQ is a category leader for a reason. Its private-company and transactions data (60M+ private companies, 16M+ with financials, and 2M+ M&A and PE/VC deals) is the de facto standard for deal comps and precedent-transaction analysis. Decades of S&P data-scrubbing normalize non-GAAP metrics with click-through auditability that finance teams trust for deal work, and the Capital IQ Pro Office plugin is woven into investment-banking workflows from day one. With 40M+ broker reports and Visible Alpha consensus, its research breadth is real. If your work centers on private-company depth and Excel-native modeling, Capital IQ is hard to beat. AllMind focuses on AI-native synthesis, your own data room, and cited outputs across asset classes.
