Nextyn expert call transcripts are available to mutual clients of Nextyn and Bloomberg through ASKB, Bloomberg's conversational AI interface on the Bloomberg Terminal. Investment teams ask a question in plain language and read the relevant passages from Nextyn transcripts next to the Terminal's data, news and research. ASKB is in beta.
What is Bloomberg ASKB?
ASKB is the conversational AI interface Bloomberg runs on the Bloomberg Terminal, and it is in beta. Terminal users type a question in plain language and read answers drawn from Bloomberg data, news and research, along with content from the partner providers their firm can access.
ASKB builds on the AI work Bloomberg has carried out in finance across machine learning, natural language processing and agentic AI. For an analyst, the practical result is that research starts with one sentence typed into the Terminal, and the answer brings together the sources the firm uses.
What does the partnership between Nextyn and Bloomberg involve?
Under the partnership, Nextyn expert call transcripts are part of the content ASKB draws on for mutual clients. When one of these clients asks ASKB about a company, a sector or a theme, the answer can include passages from Nextyn transcripts next to Bloomberg's own data, news and research.
The partnership puts two kinds of evidence in one place. Bloomberg gives investment teams the numbers: prices, filings, estimates and the news that moves them. Nextyn transcripts give them the people behind those numbers, as former executives, operators, customers and specialists describe how a business works from having done the work.
For Nextyn clients who work on the Bloomberg Terminal, expert views now sit inside the questions they ask every day.
"A lot of our clients currently do their research on the Bloomberg Terminal. Now when a question comes up in Bloomberg's ASKB, Nextyn's expert call transcripts provide a first hand view on a single unified platform. As AI changes how people do research, we believe the answers are only as good as what sits underneath them. For us, this is where Nextyn is heading: taking what experts know to wherever our clients are working."
What is in a Nextyn expert call transcript?
Each transcript records a Nextyn expert call: a one to one conversation between a client team and someone who has worked inside the market in question. The experts include:
- Former executives who ran a business or a function
- Operators who managed the work day to day, from plants and fleets to sales teams
- Customers who buy and use the product, and the distributors who sell it
- Specialists in a technology, a regulation or a field of science
The transcript keeps the conversation as it happened, with the questions asked and the expert's answers in their own words. Nextyn records and transcribes each call with the expert's consent.
Nextyn sources experts globally, across the sectors investment teams research. These include healthcare and life sciences, technology and semiconductors, energy and renewables, financial services, industrials, consumer and retail, and logistics and supply chain.
How does Nextyn screen the experts behind each transcript?
Every Nextyn call runs through the same compliance framework, wherever the expert is based. Before a call is booked, Nextyn checks each expert for relevance, independence and scope:
- Relevance: the expert's experience matches the question.
- Independence: Nextyn screens the expert against every company in scope.
- Scope: Nextyn establishes what the expert's employer and confidentiality position allow them to discuss.
Nextyn also confirms each expert's current employment, screens for material nonpublic information across every company in scope, and briefs the expert on what the conversation covers. Nextyn reviews every transcript before delivery and keeps the screening record, so a client's compliance team can see how each answer was obtained.
A compliance team can rely on the same checks for a transcript read in ASKB as for a call booked with Nextyn.
Why read expert views next to Bloomberg data?
Market data shows what a company reported and how the market priced it. Expert views explain the operations behind those figures, such as how customers choose a supplier and where pricing is moving in a channel.
Reading the two together lets a team test a thesis from both sides. An analyst reads a rise in reported sales with more context once former distributors have described how orders moved over the same months.
Public equity teams use this kind of evidence between earnings reports. Distributors, customers and operators see changes in demand, market share and supply as they happen, and those changes reach the reported figures later.
How does Nextyn in Bloomberg ASKB compare with other expert research tools?
For investment teams that work on the Bloomberg Terminal, Nextyn expert insights in ASKB put first hand expert views and Bloomberg data in the same answer. A standalone transcript library keeps expert content in its own tool, and a general purpose AI assistant answers from public sources.

Each tool has a place in a research process. Nextyn in ASKB is open to mutual clients of both firms, and ASKB is in beta. A transcript answers the questions asked on its original call, and Nextyn can set up a call with an expert in the same field when your team has a question of its own.
How can investment teams use Nextyn insights in ASKB?
The transcripts fit into the research a team runs on the Terminal. A few examples of the questions a team can put to ASKB:
| Research task | A question to ask ASKB | Whose view the transcripts carry |
|---|---|---|
| Earnings preparation | What have former distributors said about pricing in this sector over the last quarter? | Distributors and channel partners |
| Thematic research | How are hospitals changing the way they buy diagnostic equipment? | Former procurement heads and equipment suppliers |
| Sector work before a deal | How do mid sized logistics operators win and keep contracts? | Former operators and their customers |
| Testing a thesis | What do plant managers say about the cost of switching to a new material? | Plant and operations managers |
The questions above are illustrative examples.
Who can access Nextyn content on the Bloomberg Terminal?
Mutual clients of Nextyn and Bloomberg. These clients find Nextyn transcripts in ASKB through their Bloomberg Terminal access, and ASKB is in beta.
The content suits teams that use both the Terminal and expert research: hedge funds, private equity and venture capital firms, investment banks, corporate strategy and development teams, and consulting firms. Nextyn works with investment firms and consulting companies worldwide, and finds experts in whichever market a client's question covers.
Teams who want to set up access, or ask what the Nextyn content in ASKB covers, can write to the Nextyn team at info@nextyn.com.
How do transcripts and expert calls work together?
A transcript answers the questions asked on that call. When a transcript raises a question of your own, Nextyn can set up a call with an expert in the same field, so your team asks it directly.
Teams can use the two in sequence. The transcripts show the shape of a market and point to the right questions, and an expert call tests the specific point behind a decision. Our article on transcript libraries and commissioned research covers when each one fits.
To follow up on a transcript with Nextyn:
- Write to the Nextyn team with the transcript topic and your question.
- Review expert profiles screened against your brief, with rates confirmed in writing before any expert is approached.
- Pick the person you want to speak with.
- Speak with the expert on a call Nextyn schedules, and receive the transcript of your own call afterwards.
