Answer caller questions with live financial news from Finlight.

Connect Finlight to AgentCalls and your agent can search financial news, pull up a specific article by its link, and check which news sources are available on your account. Callers can ask for the latest coverage on a company, market or topic, and your agent reads back the headline, source and date. Searches run during the call, so the answer is current. Finlight covers a wide range of outlets across markets and languages, which lets your agent answer questions about the news without you checking it yourself.

What your agent can do with Finlight

  • Search financial news by company, market, topic, language or date range during a call
  • Retrieve a specific article by its link and read back the headline, source and publish date
  • List the news sources available on your Finlight account, including origin country and languages
  • Summarise the top results for a caller in plain language and offer to send the links by text

Finlight exposes 3 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Example calls

Inbound question about a company's latest news

  1. Caller

    Hi, I'm calling about Brightwater Logistics. Has there been any news about them this week?

  2. Agent

    Let me check. Yes, there are three recent articles. The most recent is from Reuters yesterday, about their new warehouse lease in Rotterdam. Would you like the other two headlines as well?

  3. Caller

    Yes, please, and can you send me the links?

  4. Agent

    Of course. The second is from the Financial Times on Tuesday about quarterly guidance, and the third is from Bloomberg on Monday. I'll text all three links to the number you're calling from.

Caller asks about a specific article

  1. Caller

    A colleague sent me a link to an article about the Gulf bond issue. Can you tell me what it says?

  2. Agent

    Sure, please read me the link or I can take the address from your text. I've found it. It's from Gulf Business, published on the 14th, and it covers a sovereign bond issue of 2 billion dollars.

  3. Caller

    Great. Which other sources cover Gulf markets?

  4. Agent

    Your account includes Arabian Business and The National among the sources that cover Gulf finance. I can run a search across them if you want more coverage.

Morning briefing call to a client

  1. Agent

    Good morning, Mr. Hughes. This is your Harbour Advisory briefing. Two stories matter for your portfolio today.

  2. Caller

    Go on.

  3. Agent

    The Bank of England held rates steady on Thursday, reported by the Financial Times and Reuters. Also, Vantage Energy shares moved up 4 percent after a contract win in the North Sea, reported by Bloomberg this morning.

  4. Caller

    Thanks. Send me the links after the call.

Does this work during a call or only after it?

Both. Your agent can run a search or pull an article while the caller is on the line, and it can send the links by text or email once the call ends.

What does my business need to connect Finlight?

You need a Finlight account and your own credentials from its settings. Enter them once in the AgentCalls dashboard under Tools, then choose which actions your agent can use.

Is Finlight included in my plan?

Tool integrations are included from the Growth plan. Some Finlight features, such as full article content and company entity details, depend on your Finlight plan and may not appear even when a search succeeds.
