Jack Woodruff ran one of the largest books at Citadel and went on to found Candlestick Capital. Today he's the buyer every finance AI company wants to win, and in this fireside chat with Vinoo Ganesh, CEO of Kepler and former Head of Business Engineering at Citadel, he'll speak candidly about what AI is changing in fundamental investing and what it isn't.

A human financial analyst would never put a number in front of a client that they cannot verify. Kepler has built an AI analyst that follows the same rule. It can only cite a figure that it has retrieved from a verifiable source. That only works if search retrieves the right number.
