New Platform Pairs its Proprietary Agentic Analyst in Dash with a Direct Connection to Claude, ChatGPT and Other AI Tools For Investors and Corporate Teams
NEW YORK, Oct. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumer Edge, the leading provider of global consumer data-driven insights, launched the proprietary Cosmos Intelligence Platform, which allows investors and corporate teams to ask questions about companies, customers, competitors and consumer trends in plain English and get data-grounded answers they can trust in minutes.
Clients can now access consumer behavior insights more easily through Cosmos Agent, a research assistant built into Dash, or via CE Cosmos Model Context Protocol (MCP), which brings Consumer Edge data into Claude and ChatGPT. Rather than functioning as a simple answer engine, the platform's agentic framework acts as a thought partner, helping users sharpen their questions as they surface insights and patterns that a dashboard might not reveal.
For investors, the platform helps analysts and portfolio managers benchmark a company against peers, check whether a slowdown is category-wide or specific to one ticker, and track share shifts using aggregate-level data in the window around earnings. For corporate teams, the platform makes it easier than ever to explore Consumer Edge's proprietary transaction-level data, uncover new insights into consumer spending behaviors, and answer critical business questions without relying on analyst teams or waiting days for custom analysis.
"Most AI tools give you an answer. Cosmos Intelligence Platform works more like an analyst, helping you sharpen the question, pressure-test a thesis or monitor competitive shifts and follow the thread wherever the data leads." said Bill Pecoriello, CEO, Consumer Edge. "And because every answer shows its work, clients can act on it with confidence."
Key capabilities of Cosmos Intelligence Platform include:
- Visible methodology: Every Cosmos Agent response shows the underlying SQL, data sources and methodology behind it, so clients can verify results and act on them with confidence.
- Answers in minutes: Clients ask in plain English and get data-grounded results in minutes, instead of writing SQL or waiting days for a custom analyst request. Teams can act within the windows that matter, from earnings season to planning cycles and competitive moves.
- Blending and context in CE Cosmos MCP: Teams can combine Consumer Edge data with internal data, other subscriptions, filings and news in the same session. Clients get a complete picture in the AI tools they already use. MCP answers draw on the same Consumer Edge data and can be cross-checked in Cosmos Agent.
- Question Builder: A guided, step-by-step prompt path for users who aren't sure what to ask. Built-in best practices help every user ask the questions an experienced analyst would, so the whole team gets full value from the agent from day one.
- One continuous session: Trends, retention, cross-shop and pricing can all be explored in a single back-and-forth, without switching tools or stitching together separate exports. Each follow-up builds on the last, so users can follow a thread wherever it leads and uncover insights they hadn't thought to look for.
Cosmos Intelligence Platform is available now to Consumer Edge's investor, private equity, venture capital and corporate clients through Dash and CE Cosmos MCP. For more information, click here.
