1.1 What is AI Workflows
AI Workflows in Clade are an intelligent automation suite that helps investment teams generate structured work product from unstructured data. Users can create matrices, reports, and tear sheets powered by AI to analyze documents, synthesize insights, and produce outputs in seconds.
1.2 The problem AI Workflows addresses
Investment teams spend significant time managing fragmented documents and manual analysis.
- Research materials live across folders, drives, and emails.
- Converting raw data or notes into usable analytics and reports requires hours.
- Collaboration is slowed by outdated systems of record that store data but do not act on it.
- Limited AI readiness makes it hard to turn unstructured documents into structured insights.
1.3 How AI Workflows solves these problems
AI Workflows transform static data into actionable intelligence.
- Upload or connect documents, and Clade automatically structures them.
- Run matrix and report workflows to compare documents, extract signals, or generate summaries.
- Use chat-based automation to trigger workflows directly from context (Pitch Inbox, Meeting Intelligence, Opportunities, or Investments).
- All results are stored with provenance, confidence, and easy retrieval.
1.4 Key benefits
- Automate matrix and report creation.
- Reduce manual effort by more than 70 percent.
- Maintain consistent, auditable AI outputs.
- Search and act on all investment data in one workspace.
