Meadowbank Strategic Partners Inc., a Calgary-based investor relations and capital markets advisory firm, announced the launch of Answir, a new artificial intelligence platform designed to help public companies engage more effectively with investors, analysts, journalists, regulators, and other stakeholders. The platform enables users to ask natural-language questions and receive instant responses drawn exclusively from a company's verified public disclosures, including regulatory filings, press releases, investor presentations, websites, and stock data accessed through market-data APIs.
By replacing time-consuming document searches with a conversational interface, Answir aims to improve access to information while reducing the volume of routine inquiries handled by IR teams. A demo video and other explanatory videos are available on the Answir.ai website, helping issuers, investors, and stakeholders understand how the platform integrates into a company's website.
Nick Kuzyk, MBA, Principal & Owner of Meadowbank Strategic Partners Inc., stated, "Investors are increasingly turning to AI tools for information, but those tools often combine verified disclosures with rumours, outdated content, or scraped data from across the internet. Answir gives public companies a compliant way to engage with investors by delivering accurate responses sourced only from approved disclosures and stock data, directly on the company's own website."
Unlike general-purpose AI systems, Answir does not generate speculative or unverified content. The platform retrieves and structures information directly from issuer-supplied materials and connected stock-data feeds, ensuring responses remain grounded in publicly available facts. Companies can configure tone, disclosure boundaries, and escalation rules so that questions requiring judgment or non-public information are routed to human IR staff.
The platform addresses a long-standing challenge in IR: shareholders and analysts often struggle to locate specific information buried in lengthy filings, while IR professionals spend significant time responding to repetitive questions about financial performance, strategy, valuation, management compensation, or corporate transactions. By automating these routine interactions, Answir allows IR teams to focus on higher-value activities such as investor outreach, executive and board reporting, and quarterly disclosure preparation.
Beyond answering questions, Answir provides real-time analytics on investor engagement. The platform tracks key metrics such as question volume, topic frequency, timing patterns, and recurring themes across user queries and prompts. These insights help IR teams and company management better understand what current and prospective investors are focused on, how interest shifts around news releases or market movements, and where disclosures may be unclear or generating repeated follow-up questions. By identifying trends in investor inquiries, Answir can highlight emerging areas of concern or interest before they escalate into broader narrative risk. Meadowbank says this data can be used internally by IR personnel, executives, and boards to inform communications strategy, improve disclosure clarity, and support more data-driven engagement with the market.
Answir is offered through multiple subscription tiers, with pricing based primarily on market capitalization. While designed primarily for public issuers, the platform can also support private companies with large shareholder bases or those preparing for an initial public offering, providing a consistent and compliant way to manage investor communications.
As expectations for transparency and responsiveness continue to rise, often without corresponding increases in IR budgets, Meadowbank believes Answir provides a practical tool for companies seeking to modernize IR while maintaining regulatory discipline and control over their public narrative.
