The update allows the ‘Ava’ tool to handle more complex research tasks.

GlobalData launched the tool in 2024 as part of its AI Hub, to help clients to navigate the company’s data.

The new version applies agentic reasoning to plan and complete research workflows, gathering validated information from the company’s databases using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). It includes pre-built research questions created by GlobalData’s analysts.

Sudeep Shouche, director of product innovation, GlobalData, said: “Agentic systems represent the next frontier of applied AI. They do not just generate content; they understand goals, act, and deliver results that align with human intent.”
