Financial Times subscribers can use Ask FT to answer questions about recent events or broader topics covered by the Financial Times. It is trained on decades of FT articles and uses Claude under the hood.
“I don’t think you’d get to be a 135-year-old institution if you aren’t constantly evolving and meeting these moments,” @thoughtsoflj says. “But you have to be smart and not just get on the hype train ... otherwise people just play with it for novelty and then go about their lives.”
Ask FT is in private beta for now, as the FT continues to test and evaluate it.More at The Verge.
LOVE THIS. Personally a loyal FT reader and arguably the best finance journalism in the world. Lowkey surprised but also excited to see how fast they embraced AI. Will try it out for sure
Big congrats on the Ask FT launch! You guys have brilliantly tapped into the magic of Claude's long context window, turning decades of FT articles into a treasure trove of answers for subscribers. It's like having a financial guru in your pocket! Keep up the awesome work!
