We believe finance can leverage AI-powered technology to spend less time chasing numbers and more time shaping the business's future.
As covered by CFO Dive, last week we launched Cube's AI-powered Collaboration Suite—the most ambitious release in our history and a huge leap toward the future of FP&A. Our goal is to enhance the expertise finance teams bring to the table.
In this edition, we're exploring how Cube's AI-powered collaboration helps teams work smarter, move faster, and drive greater impact across the business.
Happy planning,

What is AI-powered collaboration?
|
AI-powered collaboration means connecting AI, finance professionals, and their business team members to form a true partnership.
- AI accelerates manual analysis, surfaces insights instantly, and keeps information flowing across teams.
- People bring critical thinking, strategic judgment, and business context to decision-making.
When these elements come together, finance can spend less time wrestling spreadsheets and chasing down data, and more time leading the business forward.

What does this look like in Cube? |
Here's how Cube empowers finance teams to collaborate with their teammates using AI every day.
🔎 Context matters
Cube's AI Analyst is embedded directly into the tools finance already knows, like Slack and Teams. This lets users chat within familiar, contextual workflows blended with the team's own data, financial models, and scenarios. No need to switch systems or sacrifice nuance.
🎯 Accuracy comes first
Cube's AI Analyst is designed for real financial work, not generic analysis. Whether it's Smart Variance analysis or conversational insights, Cube ensures finance teams can trust the data they're acting on.
💪 Control stays with you
Cube's AI Analyst and user permissions aren't hidden in a black box. Finance teams have full visibility into how insights are generated, who has access to them, and when, all with human oversight at every step.
