Introducing Desia Agent Mode

We built Desia Agent Mode to extend beyond conversation and into end-to-end task execution, from understanding a user’s goal, to exploring data sources, to planning and carrying out the steps required to deliver a final output. Desia agents execute complex workflows by chaining together specialized tools built for modern finance, tackling challenges not as a single monolithic task, but as a sequence of precise, targeted actions.

One of the most immediate and powerful applications of this is in information retrieval. Where traditional approaches focus on text and semantic search, Desia agentic retrieval hones on the interaction.


Our agents interact with your data ecosystem as a human analyst would. They can browse folder structures, autocomplete file names, and learn organizational patterns; understanding, for example, that a specific folder likely holds the business logic for a query even if the file's name or content isn't an obvious keyword match.


Crucially, this solves one of the most persistent problems in knowledge management in finance: version control. Standard search engines often fail here, returning stale information because they can't distinguish between report_v2.docx, report_v10.docx, and report_vfinal.docx. As humans, we navigate this complexity easily, but traditional search can't. Agentic retrieval solves this by reflecting not only on the content but also on the context provided by filenames and folder structures.

  • Traditional Search: You search "Q2 model." You get 15 files, including Q2_model_draft.xlsx, Q2_model_v1.xlsx, and Q2_model_notes.docx. You waste time figuring out which is correct.
  • Desia Agentic Retrieval: You ask, "Find the latest approved Q2 model." The agent understands the concepts of "latest" and "approved." It browses the relevant folder, identifies Q2_model_final_v10.xlsx as having the highest version number and a "final" tag, and returns the single correct file.

This is the next frontier of search: an interactive, intelligent dialogue with your data.

From Prompt to Deliverable: Desia Agents at Work

Each new tool added to the Desia platform doesn't just add one new capability. It expands the agent's potential combinatorially, unlocking thousands of new, sophisticated workflows.

Ask a chatbot why a stock moved and you’ll get a paragraph. Ask Desia agents, and you get a plan, execution, and files you can audit.

We start with one prompt:

Analyze Cogent Biosciences (COGT) share-price movement post-Q3’25. Crawl the past week for analyst reactions, press releases, and clinical updates. Extract all quantitative metrics from the Q3 10-Q vs Q2, flag >10% moves. Package everything into an Excel with: Variance Analysis, External Reactions, Key Catalysts.

The agent’s first move isn’t to write, it’s to set a trail. It picks the source of record: research Q325 earnings and management commentary in our filings and transcripts database, while firing parallel pulls for analyst reactions and market data.

Before it stitches anything, it checks coverage: do we have ratings, price targets, and earnings data for the window? If something’s missing, the run stops here instead of papering over gaps. Only when the set is complete it drafts a report, with inline citations. That’s the first file: a clickable, source-anchored narrative you can review line by line.

Signals widen next. A finance search fetches fresh rating changes; a crawl gathers press releases, trial updates, and street notes. The agent waits for each research agent to finish, then merges drafts into a single report.

Now the numbers. Instead of re-typing tables, it pulls any metric with >10% quarter-over-quarter variance, cross-checking the cited 10-Q pages. If a subtotal doesn’t tie, it jumps back to the source page, retries a different parser, and re-calculates until the math is consistent.

Only then does it build what analysts actually use: an Excel workbook with three auto-generated tabs: variance analysis (Q3 vs Q2),external reactions and key catalysts.

What you get: a clear line from news to numbers to why-it-moved, plus the Excel you actually use. The point isn’t that the agent can write; it’s that it can decide. When to trust a filing over a blog. When to stop and fix a missing target. When to keep conflicting broker views instead of forcing one story.

We're at an inflection point. The leap from System 1 to System 2 AI isn't incremental, it's fundamental. When agents can think, reflect, and orchestrate tools like analysts, we move from AI that assists to AI that truly works for you.

The Unix philosophy taught us that elegance comes from composability. Now, that same principle is changing financial workflows. Every new tool we add doesn't just extend capabilities, it multiplies them. The platform you adopt today becomes exponentially more powerful tomorrow, without changing how you work.

In Q3 2023, Company XYZ faced a major data breach, exposing customer information. The incident led to a 30% churn rate among enterprise clients over the next two months. Consequently, annual recurring revenue dropped from $30M to $23M by year-end 2023.
