Whether you’re writing a business proposal or setting an expansion strategy, you know your industry research has to be in-depth and accurate. Using generative AI, Phil makes it easy to:

  • Make sense of the data you don’t understand

Get insights in the style you want

Sometimes you want to digest all the raw data and put it in your own words; other times, AI is the tool to get the job done efficiently. Tell Phil what you’re working on and he’ll help you:

  • Write emails or marketing materials that speak to your prospects’ biggest pain points
  • Draft a strategy for business success or expansion in a certain industry niche
  • Summarize risks, opportunities and trends that you can directly copy-paste into a brief or presentation

Get answers you can trust

Unlike other LLMs, Phil isn’t aggregating common answers from all corners of the internet. He’s trained on IBISWorld’s proprietary, in-house data and analysis, helping you:

  • Access proprietary risk models and analyst-driven calculations not publicly available through other sources
  • Dig deeper into the reference materials by clicking directly into the chapters and sections behind Phil’s answers
  • Reduce time spent chasing down methodologies to avoid misrepresenting data

Ask smarter questions, get better answers

The wrong questions can lead you to dead ends or research rabbit holes. That’s why Phil’s guided approach helps you dig deeper and explore questions from all angles, offering:

  • Suggested questions to get you started, or expand upon the previous line of thought
  • Quick links to the sources behind each reply, directing you to more background analysis and data visuals that strengthen your research
  • Informed answers, driven by deep knowledge and training on real business use cases

The AI is surprisingly good; Phil is the primary way that I’m researching industry information now.

Phil makes it actionable. It’s really easy for a consultant or somebody who's out there in a real fast paced field to dig in and get the information they need in a prompt timely manner, and get to doing what they need to do with the information.

If the data that I want takes eight clicks to get to, that's too many. And because there's loads of really good information in the IBISWorld platform, I’d rather ask Phil the question and get my answer in two or three clicks instead.
