ALC - Q4

As IR teams adopt AI-powered tools, the conversation is shifting from capability to collaboration. This is part 3 of our agentic AI series, following What Agentic AI Really Means and Why It Changes the Game for IR and Real-World Applications of Agentic AI in IR. In this final piece, we explore what a confident, high-performing human-AI partnership looks like in practice, with insights from Q4’s Christopher Allen, VP of Product Marketing, and Alexandru Corotchi, VP of Engineering.

At Q4’s recent IR Masterclass: Leveraging AI & Tech for Success, IR professionals gathered at the Toronto office to explore how AI is reshaping capital markets communications. Led by Q4 Founder and CEO Darrell Heaps alongside guest speaker Alyssa Barry, President of Alliance Advisors IR, the session delivered live demonstrations and real-world insights with a clear message: purpose-built AI isn’t just changing how IR teams work. It’s elevating their strategic impact.

Shareholder activism rarely starts with a splash. It brews quietly through subtle trading patterns, shifting sentiment, or new attention to overlooked corners of your website. By the time a campaign goes public, the signs have often been there for months. In the first half of 2025 alone, there were 129 activist campaigns, highlighting just how active and persistent the risk has become. With activist playbooks evolving rapidly, early detection has become critical.
