Q4 to Unveil the Future of AI in IR at NIRI2025
Q4 to preview the first IRO Agent™ built to act like an extension of the IR team — delivering real-time answers, strategic insights and unmatched IR intelligence; Get a sneak peek at booth #413 TORONTO & BOSTON, May 28, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--(NIRI Annual Conference) — Q4 Inc., the leading provider of IR Ops software, will preview groundbreaking AI innovations at NIRI2025, the premier event for investor relations (IR) professionals, June 1-3, in Boston. As IR teams face mounting pressure to extract actionable insights from a growing volume of data, Q4 is unveiling a smarter, faster way to surface the signals that matter — so IR officers (IROs) can decode investor intent, anticipate market shifts, and respond with precision. With advanced technologies — such as generative AI and agentic AI — transforming workflows across industries, the field of investor relations is likewise ripe for change. Data shows three-quarters (74%) of IROs think AI will "definitely" or "probably" be a standard part of their toolkit within five years — though half (50%) admit they're unsure where it will add the most value. Q4's award-winning, AI-driven platform is bridging that gap and "redefining investor relations," according to the American Business Awards®. Already trusted for AI capabilities like earnings script assistance and peer event summaries, Q4 goes even further with its next wave of innovation: showcasing AI's — and, in particular, agentic AI's — potential to not only expedite work but also function as a strategic advisor to IR teams. Improving productivity and decision-making with AI Soon-to-launch features — which Q4 will demo at NIRI booth #413 — combine Q4 proprietary data, market intelligence and customer insights to: Provide instant answers to complex IR questions (e.g., "Which investors are likely to initiate a position in our stock within the next quarter, based on peer movement and engagement signals?" or "Where are we underperforming in our IR program execution compared to best-in-class peers?"), in seconds, instead of hours Visualize investor sentiment shifts as they unfold — tracking changes in tone, interest, and online activity in response to company news, earnings events, market developments and more Generate board-ready insights on-demand, with the ability to ask any question (e.g., "What should I include for our CEO on valuation gaps?") and get data-backed answers instantly Offer a daily view of what demands IROs' attention — from unusual stock movement to notable investor engagement to activist rumblings — helping IR pros act faster, mitigate risks and seize opportunities And much more "IR officers today face a variety of challenges, as they work to build trust, attract and retain the right investors, and protect their company's value — even, and especially, in volatile markets," said Q4 CEO Darrell Heaps. "We're committed to supporting them every step of the way, with AI that's purpose-built to help IR be more effective. We're excited to showcase how our new capabilities are helping companies drive efficiency, enhance investor engagement, and maximize their impact in the market."
