pTools Launches AI-Enabled Corporate Disclosures Solution for Stock Exchanges

pTools Software announces the launch of its AI-enabled Corporate Announcements & Disclosures processing solution, a purpose-built, secure, end-to-end platform designed specifically for exchanges and capital market participants. Built on pTools’ decades of experience delivering market information solutions, the new offering automates the lifecycle of corporate announcements from ingestion through validation, summarisation, and publication, helping exchanges reduce delivery time, minimise operational risk and strengthen regulatory compliance. Most importantly, pTools’ solution helps humans use AI to improve delivery while guaranteeing security and risk mitigation. The secret to effective AI solutions is keeping humans in the loop (HITL).

pTools AI for Corporate Announcements addresses familiar pain points; exchanges must publish accurate, timely disclosures while managing increasingly complex document formats, multiple languages and evolving regulatory structures. pTools’ AI-enabled Corporate Announcements & Disclosures Processing solution combines advanced natural language processing and machine learning with a security-first architecture to provide instant summarisation, real-time sentiment analysis, pattern recognition, and extraction of numerical and legal attributes from announcement documents. These capabilities turn unstructured filings into structured, publishable outputs that are faster to review and easier to distribute.

Key capabilities include:

  • Rapid summarisation and suggested headlines to accelerate publication review

  • Human-in-the-loop workflow with a built-in ‘four-eyes check’ for approvals and audit trails, preserving human oversight where it matters most

  • Real-time sentiment analysis and pattern identification to flag market-sensitive language and unusual disclosures

  • Ability to query extraction of numerical values and legal characteristics (financial statements, dates, clauses), enabling structured downstream workflows

  • Automated anomaly detection that surfaces inconsistencies or potential errors before publication

  • Real-time translation across multiple languages to support global market participants

  • Automated SWIFT messaging codes and integration of reference data (including LEI) to reduce manual coding and improve interoperability

  • Manual or individual news updates and multiple API source news services

Commenting on the solution, Suraj Pandey, Head of Business Development at pTools, says: ‘We’re very focused on delivering efficiency and value through AI that client staff can actually use in day-to-day data handling processes. Ironically, human-in-the-loop (HITL) functionality is key to our approach to AI and agentic success.’

Security, integrity and deployment
pTools has engineered the platform with a strong emphasis on AI integrity and data security. The solution uses a secure API layer that can operate across major AI platforms while controlling data consumption to mitigate the risk of hallucination and eliminate any risk of data leakage.

Exchanges can deploy the API-driven solution on-premise, in client-managed cloud environments, or as a service, giving organisations the flexibility to meet operational preferences and regulatory requirements. pTools Software is ISO 27001-certified and combines standard-aligned processes with enterprise controls to support resilient, auditable operations.

Regulatory and operational benefits
For exchanges, the solution shortens time to publication and materially reduces manual effort and error-prone tasks that traditionally accompany announcement handling. Structured extraction and automated validation improve consistency and support regulatory obligations such as SRD II reporting. Anomaly detection and sentiment analytics provide early warning of potentially market-moving disclosures, while LEI and reference data integrations help ensure published metadata meets market standards.

pTools has architected the platform with regulatory compliance built in from the ground up, not bolted on as an afterthought. The solution is designed to align with existing obligations such as SRD II and MAR, while remaining adaptable to emerging frameworks, including the EU AI Act. Every AI-assisted action is fully auditable, with human approval workflows ensuring exchanges can demonstrate to regulators not just what was published, but who reviewed and authorised it.

Built for markets, trusted by markets
Backed by pTools’ long track record in market information solutions and partnerships with major market participants, the new solution is explicitly tailored to exchange workflows and compliance needs. Drawing on pTools’ experience working with tier-one global clients, the solution is designed to integrate with existing market data and publication channels to avoid disruption while delivering rapid efficiency gains. Notable client relationships and sector experience underpin the product’s market focus, including long-term engagements with exchanges such as the London Stock Exchange Group and Qatar Central Bank, and other capital market participants.

Next steps
The solution is now available for demonstrations and pilot implementations. Exchanges interested in exploring how AI can make announcements processing faster, safer and more compliant can contact pTools for a tailored briefing and technical review.
