What Fintool was

Fintool was an AI research platform for investors and finance teams. It combined citation-backed answers with SEC filings, earnings transcripts, financial documents, company timelines, structured extraction, and monitoring across roughly 8,000 US public companies.

Microsoft acquired Fintool on April 18, 2026. Founder Nicolas Bustamante said the team and intellectual property were moving to Microsoft to help bring financial intelligence into Office and Microsoft 365 workflows. The former Fintool website now redirects to Microsoft 365, and there is no current standalone signup or pricing page.

Past capabilities

What Fintool offered

Citation-backed financial chat

Answered questions across SEC filings, earnings transcripts, and other financial documents while linking claims to underlying sources.

Structured company research

Organized documents, sections, timelines, feeds, and company-level data for thousands of US public companies.

Data extraction

Extracted tables, metrics, and structured fields from financial documents for analysis and downstream workflows.

Research automation

The final product direction included creating or updating DCF models in Excel, earnings presentations in PowerPoint, and research memos in Word.

Availability

Why this listing is historical

Fintool no longer publishes standalone pricing or accepts new public signups. Its former domain redirects to Microsoft 365 after the acquisition.

  • Fintool is no longer available for standalone signup or purchase.
  • The former product website redirects to Microsoft 365 instead of documenting a current Fintool offering.
  • Public API documentation remains online, but that does not establish current service availability, support, or commercial access.
