For AI-native hedge funds
Nomais is primary research as a service for AI-native and systematic hedge funds.
No analysts to hire: we find the practitioners who know, run structured AI interviews to your framework, and deliver pipeline-ready transcripts — no annual contract.
The problem
Your team built systems to process satellite imagery, parse SEC filings, and extract sentiment from earnings calls. All public. All accessible to every fund running similar strategies.
But there's an entire layer of signal that doesn't exist online: what a supply chain director is seeing on the ground right now. What procurement decisions a manufacturer is about to make. What practitioners think will happen next quarter.
That's primary research. Fundamental funds get it by having analysts pick up the phone. You don't have that function — and the traditional process doesn't fit your workflow anyway.
The solution
You define a research angle — the questions you want answered, the type of practitioner who'd know.
We find that person. Across industries, across geographies. Not from a pre-existing pool — sourced specifically for your question.
AI conducts a 45–60 minute structured interview. It follows your framework, probes dynamically, and tracks whether your questions have been covered.
You receive a full transcript organized by your question structure, a coverage score, and the recording. No annual contract. No analysts to hire. No one on your team spent a minute on it.

How it works
Step 01
Chat with your associate agent — no form. Describe your research angle in plain language; we shape it into a structured brief.
Step 02
We actively seek out the practitioners who'd know — wherever they are — and reach out directly. Sourced specifically for your question, not matched from a pool.
Step 03
A 45–60 minute structured conversation, dynamically probing based on your framework and real-time coverage tracking. Multi-language capable.
Step 04
Full transcript organized by your question framework, a per-topic coverage score, and the complete recording. Pipeline-ready.
