LONDON, 07 April 2026 – GlobalData Plc, the trusted intelligence platform, today announced the launch of specialized artificial intelligence (AI) agents embedded directly within its premium databases, giving users a faster, more intuitive way to interrogate complex datasets and extract trusted insights.
Designed specifically to unlock value from deep, complex datasets built on advanced entity resolution and semantic layer, each agent understands the structure, relationships, and meaning within its specific dataset, enabling accurate, explainable analysis at speed.
At the center of this launch is Ava, GlobalData’s purpose-built AI research analyst, able to execute complex, multi-step analytical tasks. Ava is no longer a single research analyst. It is a system of multiple specialized database agents, designed specifically for individual data environments, embedded directly within database pages on the GlobalData platform.
Agentic AI that lets you talk to trusted data
Sudeep Shouche, Director of Product Innovation at GlobalData, says: “GlobalData’s database agents work like specialized analysts who understand where the connections are and what the relationships mean. It is agentic AI at the source of the intelligence, not just at the top layer. Customers do not need more noise; they need signal.”
On each database page with a specialized Ava, users can:
- Ask complex data questions in natural language
- Have the specialized Ava determine the necessary analytical steps
- Automatically query the data and apply the right filters
- Receive a cited answer grounded in proprietary intelligence
- Continue with follow-up questions in a multi-step, contextual workflow
Users can also open the underlying dataset with the Ava conversation filters automatically applied, making it easier to validate results and explore further.
The result is a shorter path from question to insight, with transparency, security, and explainability built in.
Unlocking the value of deep datasets
Working across multiple complex datasets creates unique challenges: inconsistent naming, overlapping hierarchies, and relationships that span entities, geographies, assets, and time. Generic AI tools are often tuned to summarize unstructured text and can struggle to reason over these environments.
GlobalData’s specialized agents are built to handle this complexity. They leverage:
- Advanced entity resolution to accurately connect companies, assets, people, and other entities across disparate records
- A purpose-built semantic layer that maps how the dataset is structured and how concepts relate, so the agent can interpret questions correctly and execute the right query strategy
The result is an AI experience designed not just to “read” content, but to reliably reason over complex datasets the way professionals need.
Grounded in a trusted, AI-ready data foundation
Each specialized Ava operates within GlobalData’s verified data ecosystem, with responses grounded in proprietary intelligence rather than open web content. The data foundation has been structured and prepared for AI use, with continuous human expert feedback loops supporting accuracy. Outputs are secure, explainable, and traceable to source data.
A new path to measurable returns from AI
By deploying specialized database agents, GlobalData enables organizations to:
- Improve decision quality with domain-aware, data-grounded insights
- Increase efficiency by automating routine and time-consuming data querying
- Expand access to advanced data capabilities beyond technical specialists
- Unlock stronger returns by accelerating trusted decision-making
The rollout of specialized Ava agents across GlobalData databases begins today. For more information on GlobalData visit: https://www.globaldata.com/
