RBC Capital Markets built Aiden, a proprietary GenAI platform designed to transform how analysts discover, validate, and synthesize financial intelligence. RBC partnered with RavenPack, using its Bigdata.com platform as a single, production-ready intelligence layer that expanded Aiden's reach beyond internal knowledge, without introducing licensing risk, operational drag, or years of engineering work.
The challenge: scaling trusted GenAI
Aiden was built to improve research turnaround time, answer quality, and analyst productivity. As adoption grew, so did expectations. To function as a true research copilot inside a Tier-1 bank, Aiden needed external financial intelligence that was:
Licensed and compliant for enterprise banking use
Clean, normalized, and AI-ready, not raw vendor feeds
Fast to integrate, without long internal build cycles
Continuously updated and searchable across multiple sources
The solution: a single, governed intelligence layer for Aiden
Bigdata.com became a trusted financial intelligence source. Through a single API platform, RBC integrated licensed, normalized external data directly into Aiden, replacing years of data engineering, vendor management, and enrichment work with a production-ready solution optimized for trusted research. Here's what Bigdata.com delivered:
Normalized content schemas enabling consistent mapping across vendors
Automated ingestion and enrichment, improving reliability and usability
Search and retrieval tooling purpose-built for LLM workflows
A secure, scalable API layer ready for enterprise deployment
This allowed Aiden to reason over external market information with the same confidence and governance as internal data.
Impact: faster research, better answers and broader coverage
Presented at NVIDIA GTC 2026 by Bobby Grubert, RBC's Head of AI & Digital Transformation, the results are concrete:
Earnings analysis reduced from 45–120 minutes to seconds
Complex client inquiries that took hours or weeks now answered in real time
Analysis across 1,000+ companies cut from 60 minutes per company to seconds
Up to $1 billion in projected AI-driven benefits
Together, RBC Capital Markets and RavenPack built a scalable foundation for GenAI-powered research, one that combines trusted data, governed access, and measurable productivity gains.
