How LinqAlpha Used Multi-agent AI to Extract Key Themes from 60+ BofA Presentations – In Minutes

BofA 2025 Takeaways

The 2025 Bank of America Global Technology Conference (SF, Jun 3–5) brought together over 60 public companies across semiconductors, enterprise infrastructure, and software. It offered a clear read on how the GenAI stack is scaling, how firms are managing macro and tariff exposure, and which companies are prioritizing operating leverage and near-term product catalysts.

Using LinqAlpha’s multi-agent research stack, we processed the full set of BofA presentations in hours—not days. Our autonomous agents summarized company-level updates, identified recurring themes, and flagged signals relevant to equity analysts and portfolio managers.
