Revolutionizing Communication as We Know It, StressLens Pioneers the Future of Emotional Intelligence in AI

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Monday, April 22, 2024 - FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) ("FiscalNote"), a leading AI-driven enterprise SaaS technology provider of global policy and market intelligence, today announced the launch of StressLens, a groundbreaking AI agent that equips customers with the real-time ability to quantify the behavioral impact of leading decision makers and influencers across the financial, regulatory, and government domains. StressLens introduces an innovative AI agent capable of detecting changes in tone, cadence, and physical movements, deciphering the intricate language of human emotions and intentions with unparalleled accuracy and showcases a groundbreaking leap in technology that will revolutionize the way humans interact with machines.

The Company also announced it has secured its first, anchor customer of StressLens - a leading multi-billion dollar quantitative asset management firm.

"StressLens is a game-changing AI agent that redefines the landscape of human behavioral insights," said Josh Resnik, President and Chief Operating Officer, FiscalNote. "In today's market, finding new opportunities can be challenging when everyone is looking at the same 'alternative' data. StressLens offers novel insights based on FiscalNote's trove of data sources, uncovering untapped potential by using AI-powered audio and video 'fingerprinting' to examine more than what was said by the world's leading influencers, but how they said it. This new AI Agent will empower investors, risk managers, government relations executives, and others with a critical 'edge' in their decision-making process, and will keep our customers one step ahead in a competitive financial and risk management environment. It's an exciting new way of seeing, understanding, and navigating a volatile investment, business, policymaking, legal and regulatory system."

"StressLens offers a glimpse into the subconscious realm where intentions lie," said Tim Hwang, Founder and CEO of FiscalNote. "Leveraging advanced machine learning algorithms, StressLens interprets the subtle cues of nervousness, hidden intentions, and incomplete information, empowering users to navigate conversations with heightened awareness and clarity. AI Agents can now help us understand whether an executive on an earnings call is uncomfortable with their numbers, whether a policymaker is being untruthful, or whether there is a heightened level of discomfort or disagreement on a specific topic among a group conversation. Whether in business negotiations, interpersonal relationships, or public speaking engagements, StressLens serves as a trusted ally, providing real-time insights into the underlying emotions driving human interactions. As the world marches towards a future where human-AI collaboration becomes ubiquitous, StressLens stands at the forefront, spearheading a paradigm shift in how we perceive and interact with technology."

Developed by FiscalNote's team of leading experts in artificial intelligence, the launch of the patent-pending StressLens extends the Company's long standing AI leadership by bringing a new and unique approach to financial markets, business analysis, and risk management - analyzing remarks by key C-suite executives of public companies, the Chairman and other members of the U.S. Federal Reserve, global policymakers, and leading regulators in the U.S., E.U. and at other global institutions to identify moments of stress that would otherwise be undetectable.

Traditional AI systems have excelled in processing data and performing complex tasks, but they often fall short in understanding the subtleties of human communication. StressLens changes that paradigm by detecting changes in tone, cadence, and physical movements, providing real-time insights into the emotional state of the user. Whether it's a subtle shift in tone during a conversation or a slight change in facial expression during a video call, StressLens is always attuned to the emotional cues that define human interaction.

StressLens delivers value to customers through:

• Real-Time Emotion Detection: Instantaneous analysis of tone, cadence, and physical cues to unveil underlying emotions that signify nervousness, hidden intentions, or incomplete information.

• Advanced Benchmarking and Fact-Checking: Utilizes proprietary AI to benchmark against a speaker's historical and recent remarks.

• Intent Deciphering: Unravel hidden intentions and motivations behind verbal and non-verbal communication.

• Deep Analysis: Identifies subtle visual and vocal cues indicating stress, unease, or hidden intentions.

• Unique Insights: Provides actionable intelligence on potential market-critical events or opportunities based on leadership communication.

• Real-Time Data Delivery: Compliance-ready insights are integrated directly into users' research and trading tools shortly after a speech or testimony concludes.

• Continuous Learning: Enhances speaker profiles with each new piece of data, improving future analyses.

• Stress Forecasting: Generates predictive risk profiles by mapping latent stress markers across companies and industries.

• Visual Mapping: Illustrates connections between stressors, aiding in the identification of potential contagion events.

Existing natural language tools only focus on text and therefore lack the ability to decipher the nuanced humanity and distinct individuality of the speech patterns and vocal inflections of key business influencers, including policy makers, regulators, business executives, and other pivotal decision makers. This oversight leaves a gap in understanding the subtle yet significant ways these leaders shape market dynamics and business outcomes through their verbal remarks, earnings calls, testimony, and speeches in the regulatory, policy, and financial ecosystem.

StressLens, a pioneering AI Agent developed to bridge this knowledge gap, goes beyond traditional data analysis by intricately deciphering, decrypting, and decoding the human element behind business and government communications and decisions. It offers a deeper layer and greatly expanded set of unstructured data that enables sharpened insights into the motivations, sentiments, and intentions of those at the helm of business and government.

By integrating this human dimension into the calculus of financial investment, business analysis, and risk management strategies, StressLens vastly deepens and expands existing tool sets with a more holistic view of leading global influencers. Humans do this for people they know deeply-using subtle clues. StressLens acts as an AI Agent by extending this knowledge to influencers outside one's direct sphere. This enhancement not only augments analytical capabilities, but also empowers customers to make more informed, empathetic, and forward-thinking decisions that both mitigate risk and uncover opportunities in an increasingly complex market environment.

In the future, FiscalNote will not only be making the technology available for policymakers but also exploring opportunities to expand the use of StressLens in other AI markets where detecting human emotion is important including Customer Service, Healthcare, etc.
