New AI-powered research experience debuts on American Banker and The Bond Buyer, with expanded product enhancements planned across Arizent’s brand portfolio
Arizent, the publisher of American Banker and The Bond Buyer, today announced the launch of AI Answers, a new AI-powered research experience built for paid subscribers and designed to accelerate how financial services and public finance professionals move from question to trusted insight.
AI Answers generates concise, source-linked responses drawn exclusively from each brand’s proprietary journalism and research archives. Every response includes clear attribution and direct links back to the underlying articles so subscribers can verify context, explore deeper reporting, and confidently reuse insights in their workflow.
“Our vision is to build the next generation market intelligence platform — where we create automated, personalized one-to-one experiences for our subscribers based on their role, their industry, their company, their past behavior, their preferences, and more,” said Whitney Parker Mitchell, Chief Marketing Officer, Arizent, who also leads the company’s AI Innovation Council. “AI Answers is an important first step in that transformation: it makes our research and data dramatically more usable, while setting a foundation for a broader roadmap of intelligence-driven personalized content across our portfolio.”
“Arizent is focused on adding enterprise value to our subscribers — tools that help teams move faster with confidence,” said Glenn Hall, EVP of Information Services. “By pairing trusted journalism with responsible AI, we’re increasing the day-to-day utility of our subscriptions and creating new ways for organizations to unlock ROI from our content.”
Built for enterprise-grade research inside trusted environments
AI Answers is powered by a private, publisher-controlled AI implementation created in partnership with Miso.ai, a provider of AI search technology for publishers. The experience is designed to support rigorous professional research standards, including transparent sourcing and on-site access controls.
