Methodology - How we picked these tools and what to look for
(Up)Selection began with Brazil-specific guardrails: every candidate had to demonstrate paths to LGPD compliance, support for DPIAs and human‑in‑the‑loop controls aligned with the risk‑based approach in Bill No.
2,338/2023, and clear data‑provenance or contractual assurances to manage TDM and IP risks (legal and regulatory context summarized here: Brazil AI law and Bill No. 2,338/2023 - trends and developments).
Tools were then scored for finance fit (AML/transaction monitoring, credit‑scoring explainability and close automation), Portuguese language/local deployment options, vendor transparency (audit logs, model cards, vendor warranties) and commercial practicality - ease of piloting, training needs and procurement clauses that reflect Brazil's procurement risks.
Priority went to solutions built for regulated environments (financial‑grade security and contractual indemnities), those that simplified governance (automatic event recording, impact assessments) and offerings that reduced manual reconciliation without adding opaque automation.
Final weighting also reflected scale and sustainability: Brazil's PBIA commitment (BRL23 billion 2024–28) and rising central‑bank standards push preference toward vendors who can demonstrate enterprise governance and low operational carbon intensity.
The result: a short list of tools that balance compliance, explainability and real‑world finance productivity so teams can pilot quickly and govern confidently.
“The job of central banks as stewards of the economy will be directly affected as frontline users of AI tools,”
Bloomberg Terminal (including BloombergGPT) - real-time market data and trading analytics
(Up)For Brazil's finance teams, the Bloomberg Terminal remains the short‑list, enterprise‑grade workbench for real‑time market data, execution and deep analytics - a single pane that brings news, FX and bond desks, and portfolio tools together with the trademark black interface that feels like a trading cockpit; the platform's value is in turning streams of ticks and macro updates into actionable signals for monitoring central‑bank moves, currency shifts and sovereign‑debt spreads relevant to Brazilian issuers (see a concise Bloomberg Terminal overview for finance professionals).
Its integrated trading and charting toolset and mobile/Bloomberg Anywhere access make it practical for dealers and corporate treasuries, while the detailed function library (FX matrices, yield‑curve tools and fixed‑income pricing) is documented in guides to the TrendSpider guide to Bloomberg real-time data and trading tools and a library guide to Bloomberg FX and fixed‑income functions.
The premium comes with a premium price - expect institutional subscription costs - so pilot plans should aim to capture specific Brazil‑focused workflows (FX hedging, sovereign surveillance, and regulatory reporting) that justify the cost.
AlphaSense - enterprise research and secure knowledge search
(Up)For Brazil's finance teams needing fast, auditable intelligence, AlphaSense combines analyst‑grade search with secure enterprise controls to make research feel like a trading‑room superpower: one click can turn a single ticker into a full‑scale research engine and AlphaSense's Deep Research can compress weeks of diligence into minutes, surfacing citable insights and Smart Summaries that speed earnings prep, M&A diligence and competitive benchmarking (see the AlphaSense generative search platform and Deep Research for details: AlphaSense platform - generative search & Deep Research).
Enterprise Intelligence lets firms index internal memos, CIMs and slide decks alongside 10,000+ premium sources and snaps into SharePoint, Box and Google Drive with permissioning and the assurance that client documents aren't used to train vendor LLMs - features that make it practical for regulated Brazilian teams to centralize knowledge while keeping audit trails intact (AlphaSense Enterprise Intelligence integrations & security).
Feature | Why it matters for Brazil finance teams |
---|---|
Generative Search & Smart Summaries | Faster, citable answers for Portuguese/English research workflows |
Deep Research | Compresses multi‑week diligence into minutes for faster deal cycles |
Enterprise Integrations & Security | Index internal drives, enforce permissions and limit LLM training on client data |
Financial data + Excel integration | Pre‑built models and Table Explorer speed comps, valuation and reporting |
“It's super helpful that I can actually upload docs, and search through all of our library. Sometimes it takes a while to get up to speed on an industry. This speeds up that process a lot.”
Fiscal.ai (FinChat.io) - low-cost conversational finance AI for analysts and SMBs
(Up)Fiscal.ai (formerly FinChat.io) is a low-cost, conversational research terminal that pairs institutional-grade global financial data with an AI “Copilot” to shave hours off earnings‑call reviews and dense filings - useful for Brazil's time-pressed analysts and SMB treasuries who need fast, citable answers without a full terminal bill; the platform offers a free tier plus paid plans, SOC 2 Type II security, APIs and click‑thru auditability so numbers can be traced back to filings, and the team recently announced a growth round alongside the rebrand to Fiscal.ai (Fiscal.ai terminal features and pricing) that underpins continued product rollout and data expansion (rebrand and Series A details: FinChat rebrand to Fiscal.ai Series A announcement).
The conversational interface can compress an hour‑long earnings call into minute‑ready insights, dashboards and alerts - making it a pragmatic, budget-friendly option to pilot AI‑assisted fundamental research.
Feature | Why it matters |
---|---|
AI Copilot / Conversational Research | Fast, sourced summaries of calls and filings to speed decisions |
Institutional Global Financial Data & KPI coverage | Depth needed for rigorous fundamental analysis and comparables |
Free tier + Paid plans | Low-cost entry for analysts and SMBs to pilot workflows |
SOC 2 Type II & click‑thru auditability | Security and traceable sourcing for compliance and governance |
“Strongly endorse Fiscal.ai.” - Ernest Wong, Head of Research, Baskin Wealth
Rogo - generative-AI workflows for investment banking and PE teams
(Up)Rogo brings a secure, finance‑first generative‑AI workbench that speaks directly to Brazil's deal desks and PE teams by combining custom‑trained LLMs, single‑tenant deployment options and auditable sources so sensitive memos and valuation models never have to leave a controlled environment - see the platform's enterprise features on the Rogo enterprise AI product page.
Built to automate repetitive outputs bankers hate (slide decks, company profiles, market news runs and investment memos), Rogo promises to turn “days of prep” into minutes and fast‑track deal workflows while letting firms choose strict data isolation and SOC/ISO controls; AWS and Google Cloud integrations also underline its secure deployment choices for regulated customers (read the AWS Bedrock compliance case study for Rogo).
Feature | Why it matters for Brazil finance teams |
---|---|

"Our strategic integration of Rogo transforms how we deliver value to clients. Rogo enables our teams to analyze market data and identify opportunities with unprecedented speed and precision..." - Patrice Maffre, International Head of Investment Banking, Nomura
Datarails - FP&A Genius for Excel-centric reporting and variance analysis
(Up)For Brazil's Excel‑centric finance teams, Datarails reads like a practical upgrade: keep familiar spreadsheets while outsourcing consolidation, month‑end reporting and variance analysis to an AI layer that understands real company numbers.
Its FP&A Genius brings conversational AI over live, consolidated data so analysts and non‑finance execs can ask natural‑language questions and get instant, traceable answers; Storyboards turn dashboards into board‑ready slides in two clicks, and “fast finance requests” promise answers in about 60 seconds - useful when São Paulo‑based CFOs need last‑minute clarity before a board or regulator call.
Built to automate repetitive processes (consolidation, forecasts, scenario modeling and drill‑down variance work) without ripping out existing Excel models, Datarails often surfaces the “what, why and what's next” for KPIs and can free up days of manual reconciliation - a practical fit for Brazilian firms migrating toward governed, AI‑assisted FP&A (see the Datarails platform and the Datarails FP&A Genius overview for details).
“With Datarails, we save anywhere between two to five full working days per month. Amazing!” - Jens Stottmann, CFO
Workday Adaptive Planning - enterprise planning with embedded ML assistants
(Up)Workday Adaptive Planning brings enterprise-grade, continuous planning to Brazil's finance teams by embedding next‑gen AI (Illuminate) into everyday FP&A: predictive forecasting, anomaly detection and a conversational Workday Assistant surface contextually relevant insights and recommended actions so teams can model the impact of tariffs or run multiple what‑if scenarios across finance, workforce and operations without rebuilding spreadsheets; its driver‑based models and fast integrations with ERPs and HCMs make rolling forecasts practical for multi‑entity Brazilian groups, and Workday's published deployment cadence (average ~4.5 months) makes it a realistic candidate for medium and large pilots that need governance, scale and faster board-ready answers (see the Workday Adaptive Planning overview and the AI for FP&A - Illuminate page for details).
Capability | Why it matters for Brazil finance teams |
---|---|
Predictive forecasting (Illuminate) | Use internal and external signals to improve accuracy and plan ahead |
Scenario & tariff modeling | Quickly assess policy or trade shocks without manual rebuilds |
Workforce planning | Align headcount, hiring and costs across subsidiaries and regions |
Anomaly detection & Workday Assistant | Catch outliers and get recommended actions via conversational queries |
“Workday Adaptive Planning has allowed us to increase engagement and significantly reduce the time spent on the budget process. It's simpler, people are more involved, and it takes a lot less time.”
Anaplan PlanIQ and Fluence - model-driven forecasting and automated consolidations
(Up)Anaplan PlanIQ brings model‑driven forecasting to Brazil's finance teams by wrapping AutoML, multiple statistical engines (ARIMA, ETS, MVLR, Anaplan Prophet) and neural methods (DeepAR+, CNN‑QR) into the connected planning models teams already use - so forecasts are not a separate black‑box but a scheduled, auditable action that pushes results back into Anaplan for review and scenario work.
It ingests historicals plus related drivers (inflation, promotions, events and even country holiday calendars), automatically selects or ensembles the best algorithm, and surfaces quality metrics and explainability so planners can trust and compare forecasts rather than guess; typical model runs render in roughly 30–90 minutes and default quantiles (0.1 / 0.9) provide an 80% confidence band for risk‑aware decisions.
For Brazilian groups managing multi‑entity forecasting, tax or seasonal holidays, and tighter regulator scrutiny, PlanIQ's scheduleable predictions, data‑validation checks and cloud connectors (AWS/Azure/GCP) make it practical to scale AI forecasts without a full data‑science team - see the Anaplan PlanIQ overview (features) and the Anapedia guide to embedding intelligent forecasting into planning cycles.
Feature | Why it matters for Brazil finance teams |
---|---|
Anaplan PlanIQ AutoML and multiple algorithms | Improves accuracy across diverse BRL products and seasonal patterns without heavy data‑science effort |
Anapedia guide: scheduled forecasts and explainability | Repeatable, auditable runs that feed governance and regulatory reporting cycles |
Related drivers & holiday calendars | Allows local factors (inflation, promotions, holidays) to improve forecast signal for Brazilian demand |
Pigment and Cube - modern planning platforms for agentic AI or Excel continuity
(Up)For Brazil's finance teams that want agentic AI without burning down existing processes, Pigment delivers a practical bridge: a trio of AI agents - Analyst, Planner and Modeler - that proactively analyze trends, turn insights into scenario-ready plans and autonomously build or update the underlying models so spreadsheets stop breaking workflows.
The Analyst continuously surfaces drivers and variance explanations in dashboards, reports or even audio; the Planner runs scheduled forecasts and trade‑offs; and the Modeler fixes formulas and data‑quality gaps so consolidated plans stay board‑ready - imagine a demand planner who no longer spends Sunday nights reconciling numbers because the Planner and Modeler have already prepared an updated forecast.
Pigment also bundles AI Search, Predictions and API connectors to keep ERP/CRM feeds live and secure, and its agentic approach is designed to compress planning cycles from days to hours while preserving visibility and governance; see the Pigment AI agent overview and the Pigment company announcement and demo.
Agent | Primary role |
---|---|
Analyst | Detects trends, anomalies and creates multi‑format insights |
Planner | Translates insights into forecasts, scenarios and action plans |
Modeler | Autonomously builds/updates models and enforces data quality |
“AI is evolving and so is our ability to equip teams with innovative tools that empower extraordinary outcomes. As we enter this agentic era, we are transforming the dynamics of business operations by seamlessly integrating AI agents into traditional workforces.” - Eléonore Crespo, co‑CEO and co‑founder, Pigment
Databricks - lakehouse platform for data engineering, ML and custom LLMs
(Up)Databricks functions as a finance-grade lakehouse that lets Brazilian treasury and FP&A teams unify messy GL, ERP and market feeds into governed “gold” tables, run repeatable MLOps and serve certified models and forecasts to dashboards - all on a single platform that combines Delta Lake, MLflow and Unity Catalog for traceability and fine‑grained access control.
Its MLOps guidance shows how to move experiments through development, staging and production with MLflow tracking, scheduled or triggered retraining and automated validation so a cash‑forecast model can be re‑scored and deployed overnight rather than rebuilt every month (Databricks MLOps workflow documentation (MLflow)).
For data teams that need low‑latency feeds and reliable ETL, Lakeflow's declarative pipelines and Delta Live Tables simplify ingestion, lineage and medallion (bronze→silver→gold) processing so BI and regulatory reports run from a single source of truth (Databricks Lakehouse data engineering product page (Delta Live Tables)).
And because orchestration lives natively in the lakehouse, Databricks Workflows reduces brittle handoffs - meaning fewer late‑night firefights before board meetings and faster, auditable answers when regulators or auditors ask for model provenance (Databricks Workflows orchestration blog (lakehouse)).
Hebbia - advanced unstructured-document search and multi-document analysis
(Up)Hebbia is built for the exact kind of heavy, document‑driven work that Brazil's deal desks, legal teams and asset managers still do by hand: its Matrix/semantic‑indexing engine ingests terabytes of PDFs, DOCX and transcripts, keeps an “infinite” context window across millions of pages, and returns answers with precise, citable passages so auditors and regulators see the source (see Hebbia's engineering write‑up on “Goodbye RAG”).
That focus on multi‑document reasoning makes queries like “find all change‑of‑control clauses across 10,000 pages” or “flag litigation disclosures mentioning supplier concentration” practical in minutes rather than weeks, cutting diligence time and shrinking audit surface for LGPD‑sensitive uploads; product reviews note its strengths on dense filings, expert‑call transcripts and table extraction while emphasizing enterprise controls and encryption (read a concise platform overview and use cases at Dhiwise).
For Brazilian finance teams weighing tools, Hebbia's combination of traceable citations, multi‑agent workflows and enterprise security positions it as a specialist search engine for regulated, text‑heavy workflows where precision and provenance matter more than generic chatbots.
Feature | Benefit for Brazil finance teams |
---|---|
Matrix / infinite context indexing | Query across millions of pages for due diligence and regulatory reviews |
Multi‑format ingestion (PDF, DOCX, HTML, transcripts) | Centralizes SEC filings, CIMs and call transcripts for faster analysis |
Traceable citations & end‑to‑end encryption | Supports auditability and enterprise‑grade data protection for LGPD compliance |
Multi‑agent workflows & table extraction | Automates complex research tasks and pulls KPIs from unstructured tables |
Conclusion - How to choose, pilot and govern AI tools in Brazil's finance sector (next steps)
(Up)Choosing, piloting and governing AI in Brazil's finance sector starts with rules, not buzzwords: align pilots to LGPD principles, document model inventories and DPIAs, and design human‑in‑the‑loop controls so automated decisions meet Article 20 expectations and remain explainable.
Prioritize vendors that offer data isolation or single‑tenant options and clear contractual promises not to use client data for model training, run regular transparency and fairness checks, and treat the ANPD's findings on generative AI as a living checklist - especially around web‑scraping risks, minors' data and the chain of responsibility for prompts and outputs.
For regulated pilots, consider engaging ANPD's Regulatory Sandbox to test real workflows under supervision; pair technical controls with a governance cadence (inventory → DPIA → pilot → independent audit) and a skilling plan so finance teams can translate AI outputs into defensible decisions.
Practical training matters: teams can learn prompt design, governance and workplace AI skills through targeted courses like Nucamp AI Essentials for Work syllabus (15-week bootcamp) to turn pilot results into board‑ready, auditable practice.

Frequently Asked Questions
(Up)Which AI tools should finance professionals in Brazil prioritize in 2025?
Prioritize solutions that map to core finance workflows: Bloomberg Terminal (real‑time market data & BloombergGPT), AlphaSense (secure generative research), Fiscal.ai/FinChat.io (low‑cost conversational research), Rogo (deal‑desk/PE generative workbench), Datarails (Excel‑centric FP&A & variance analysis), Workday Adaptive Planning (enterprise planning with embedded ML), Anaplan PlanIQ (model‑driven forecasting), Pigment/Cube (agentic planning or Excel continuity), Databricks (lakehouse for data engineering, MLOps and custom LLMs) and Hebbia (advanced unstructured‑document search). Each tool targets specific needs - forecasting, anomaly detection, cash forecasting, close automation, spend auditing and on‑brand reporting - so pick based on the workflow you need to automate or accelerate.
How did you pick these tools and what compliance or technical features should Brazilian finance teams require?
Selection focused on Brazil‑specific guardrails and finance fit: LGPD compliance, support for DPIAs, human‑in‑the‑loop controls aligned with Bill No. 2,338/2023, clear data provenance, contractual assurances (no client data used for vendor model training), audit logs and model cards, Portuguese language or local deployment options, and financial‑grade security (single‑tenant/data‑isolation where needed). Also score tools for explainability (model metrics, quantiles), vendor transparency, ease of piloting/training, and commercial practicality (procurement clauses, enterprise warranties). Preference was given to vendors offering enterprise controls, traceable citations, scheduled auditable runs and low operational carbon intensity for scale and sustainability.
What is the recommended approach to pilot and govern AI tools in regulated Brazilian finance environments?
Follow a rules‑first governance cadence: (1) create a model inventory, (2) run a DPIA, (3) run a constrained pilot with human‑in‑the‑loop controls and traceability, and (4) conduct an independent audit before scaling. Align pilots to LGPD and ANPD guidance, consider ANPD's Regulatory Sandbox for supervised testing, require audit trails/impact assessments, contractual promises on data use, and scheduled transparency/fairness checks. Define pilot KPIs (accuracy, explainability, time saved, reconciliation reductions) and map escalation and remediation processes for anomalous outputs.
What training and team skills matter to turn AI pilots into production improvements?
Practical skills are critical: prompt design, prompt engineering for finance use cases, interpreting model outputs, DPIA literacy, and governance workflows for model inventories and audits. Combine vendor pilots with role‑based training so analysts trade formatting and reconciliation for decision‑ready minutes. Example: targeted courses (like Nucamp's AI Essentials for Work - 15 weeks, early‑bird cost listed in the article) that teach prompt‑writing and workplace AI use help teams operationalize assistants, preserve auditability and translate AI outputs into defensible board‑ready decisions.
