Captide redefines equity research with agentic workflows on LangGraph and LangSmith

The problem

Investment research analysts faced inefficiency extracting financial metrics from large volumes of regulatory filings and investor relations documents, constrained by the fixed-schema limitations of legacy platforms that could not accommodate customized or scalable analysis.

First attempt

Legacy platforms imposed fixed-schema constraints that prevented analysts from building customized datasets or adapting analysis to specific company metrics.
