For marketers and communication teams in finance, speed and clarity are everything. But when it comes to understanding financial reports—especially across borders—clarity is often hard to come by.
These documents are long, dense, and often riddled with industry-specific jargon and local regulatory nuances. Now add a second layer: language. If your team is reviewing a 40-page quarterly filing written in another language during a national holiday, good luck getting timely input. Your workflow stalls. Decisions are delayed. Opportunities slip.
It’s a familiar challenge—and not a small one.
Why this friction still exists
Despite years of digital transformation, many financial teams still struggle to quickly digest reports across geographies. The issue isn’t just language. It’s the sheer volume of data, the format of information, and the time it takes to translate, interpret, and extract key insights.
Some context:
- A Harvard Business Review study found that non-native English speakers in multinationals spend twice as long processing English-language reports as native speakers.
- McKinsey estimates that executives lose 20% of their time searching for internal information. Add a language gap, and that figure climbs.
This isn’t just a pain point. It’s a productivity drain.
Where AI tools come in
Artificial intelligence is beginning to turn this challenge on its head—transforming financial data into something far more accessible, in real-time.
1. From documents to decisions
Platforms like AiSK empower teams to transform unstructured content into structured knowledge bases and actionable insights.
AiSK tackles this head-on. It automatically ingests lengthy, multilingual documents—think earnings reports, board minutes, regulatory filings—and transforms them into a searchable knowledge base.
- Translates and summarizes dense materials in your team’s preferred language
- Tags and categorizes content for easy search and retrieval
- Highlights actionable insights, deadlines, and risks
- Syncs updates across teams so no one’s left behind
No more waiting for manual summaries or delayed input from regional teams. With AiSK, insights are instant—and decisions move at the speed of your ambition.
2. AI-Powered translation & dubbing
All of your financial reports in document or video formats in foreign languages can now be automatically translated and dubbed, bringing real-time understanding to global stakeholders without the need for human translators.
3. Smarter knowledge management
Unlike traditional knowledge management (KM) or learning management systems (LMS), tools like AiM leverage semantic search and summarization across various content formats. Instead of relying on simple keyword matching, they pinpoint the exact paragraph, timestamp, or phrase you’re searching for—even across different languages and media types, including documents and videos. Companies use these tools to enhance internal training and knowledge sharing, ultimately driving greater productivity.
From information to insight – faster
What sets AI-powered tools apart is not just automation—it’s contextual understanding.
With AI, these platforms do more than summarise. They interpret. They connect dots. They allow global teams to ask questions, receive relevant answers, and make data-informed decisions—without waiting on emails, translations, or workday overlaps.
What this means for financial marketers
For those leading content, communications, and martech in financial services, AI video and language tools aren’t just efficiency plays. They’re about speed-to-insight, localization at scale, and greater independence from siloed workflows.
No more waiting for post-holiday translations or deciphering complex documents on your own. With AI, you don’t just access information—you understand it instantly.
