Following an event live
When an event is in progress, Live Investor Relations becomes a real-time terminal for the call:- Live audio. The stream starts automatically (if your browser blocks autoplay, click the prompt to start it). You can scrub back to the very start of the call at any time — the full broadcast is kept, not just a short live window.
- Real-time transcript. Text appears as it’s spoken and refreshes every few seconds. Because it’s produced live, wording and speaker names are refined as the call goes on, and a cleaned-up version follows after the event ends.
- Follow Audio / Jump to Current. Keep the transcript locked to what’s being said, or jump back to the live edge after scrolling away. Scrolling or seeking backward turns following off so the view doesn’t snap around on you.
- Live & Starting soon panel. See every call currently live and everything about to begin, refreshed about once a minute.
Ask AI about an event
Every event has an Ask AI button that hands the call to the AI assistant as ready-made context:- From the event drawer, it sends the transcript.
- From the full event page, it also sends the press release and slides text.
What it can access & produce
It draws on:- A calendar of corporate IR events for US and Canadian listed companies — earnings calls and releases, presentations and investor days, investor and shareholder meetings, and special situations.
- Live audio and a real-time transcript for events in progress.
- Completed transcripts for past events, including archived earnings-call transcripts going back years (reachable by company and quarter through ticker search or the Company IR & Events tab).
- Event documents — the press release and the presentation slides for an event.
- Company and event details — company name and identifiers, fiscal year and quarter, scheduled date/time, and live status.
- A readable, searchable transcript you can navigate and sync to the audio.
- Downloads — the transcript (as a text file), the press release, and the slides.
- Event context for the AI assistant (via Ask AI) — the transcript and documents loaded into Chat.
- A bookmarked event you can return to.
Tips & best practices
- Use ticker search for one name’s full history — it’s the fastest way to line up several quarters of a company’s calls.
- Turn on Follow Audio while a call is live so the transcript keeps pace hands-free; use transcript search the moment you want to jump to a topic.
- Ask AI right after the print for an instant read on guidance, margins, or Q&A — then deepen it in Chat.
- Download the transcript when you need a clean record for your own files or to share.
- For recurring coverage, set an Automation (event trigger) so a report, grid, or chat runs and emails itself around every call — rather than checking the calendar manually.
- For consistent cross-company comparison, build a Grid that asks the same questions across a peer set; use the calendar to track the dates and follow the calls.
Limits & things to know
- Coverage is US and Canada. Companies outside those markets aren’t on the calendar.
- Future events appear once the company confirms them — often around three weeks ahead. If a date isn’t showing yet, the company likely hasn’t announced it.
- Custom calendar ranges span up to 7 days and can’t start more than 30 days in the future. For longer history, use ticker search or the Company IR & Events tab, whose year selector goes back to 2015 (up to a 5-year span at a time).
- Live transcripts are machine-generated in real time and refined afterward — treat in-call wording and speaker labels as provisional until the cleaned version lands.
- Older earnings without a live capture fall back to an archived quarterly transcript, so for some past calls you’ll see the archived version rather than a live-style transcript.
- Transcript availability varies — some events (especially non-earnings ones) may show “No transcript available.”
- Duplicate US/Canadian listings of the same event are merged so the calendar isn’t doubled.
- Refresh cadence: live status and the calendar update about once a minute; a live transcript updates every few seconds.

Example workflows
Cover a live earnings call end to end
- Spot it — the Live panel shows the call is in progress (or Starting soon counts it down).
- Open and follow — open the event, turn on Follow Audio, and read the real-time transcript.
- Probe as it happens — use transcript search to jump to “guidance” or “buyback”; click lines to replay the audio.
- Ask AI — once enough has been said, hit Ask AI and ask for the guidance changes and the key Q&A takeaways, grounded in the transcript and slides.
- Write it up — generate an Earnings Review Report for the formatted post-print analysis (or run Pre-Earnings Analysis beforehand to set up your expectations).
Compare a quarter across a peer group
- Track the dates — filter the calendar to your sector or tickers to see when each name reports.
- Follow or read — open each call live, or read the transcripts afterward.
- Standardize the analysis — build a Grid that asks the same questions (revenue beat/miss, margin trajectory, guidance tone) across the whole peer set; auto-fill pulls from the earnings-call transcripts for you.
- Synthesize — turn the grid and your notes into a Report.
Never miss your names’ results (hands-off)
- Pick the companies — start from a Watchlist.
- Automate around the event — create an Automation with an Earnings Events (or IR Events) trigger on those companies.
- Choose the output and timing — have it run a Report, a Grid, or an AI Chat at an offset like 1 hour after each call, and email you the result. The calendar remains your live view; the automation does the routine coverage.
