MSCI is now offering clients AI connectivity to access its proprietary data for analysis, performance measurement, and querying within existing workflows. Clients can use MSCI’s insights via the cloud-based MSCI ONE platform or through AI providers, including the MSCI app in OpenAI’s ChatGPT and the MSCI connector in Claude. The first tool on this framework is MSCI IndexAI Insights, a conversational AI interface that allows clients to interact with MSCI index data. Users can ask questions in plain language about index performance, exposures, constituents, and methodologies, receiving answers grounded in MSCI’s data. Alvise Munari “Today’s announcement marks a key step in our journey to scale AI capabilities across MSCI’s broader solutions set and reflects our commitment to AI-driven innovation that transforms how clients engage with our data and models,” said Alvise Munari, Chief Product Officer at MSCI. “By building secure connectivity into leading AI services, we are enabling clients to access MSCI insights wherever they work. The launch of IndexAI Insights is the first of a series of AI-enabled offerings that we will build on this foundation.” MSCI plans to extend AI connectivity to additional areas, including Private Assets, supporting insights across the investment lifecycle, from due diligence and underwriting to analytics and reporting. The firm will continue to introduce AI integrations and enhancements to provide clients with more flexibility in accessing and applying MSCI’s data and models.
