# AI Investor Relations Platform — White-Label for IR Agencies - Tool: AI Implementations - Last updated: June 2026 ## TL;DR Three paths: subscribe to Q4 Inc or Notified IR (enterprise quote, no white-label), hire RapidDev ($60K–$120K, 16–24 weeks, includes Reg FD supervisory workflow + SOX audit trail), or DIY (not recommended — Reg FD + SOX disqualify any weekend prototype with real MNPI). Research strongly recommends hire-agency: the IR text-content cost is ~$0.014/Q&A draft but the Reg FD disclosure-control layer and SOX §404 audit trail consume 60% of the build. ## Frequently asked questions ### How much does it cost to build a white-label AI investor relations platform? RapidDev builds this for $60,000–$120,000 over 16–24 weeks. The range reflects the compliance scaffolding: lower end covers core Q&A drafting with Sonnet 4.6 ZDR, RAG over SEC filing corpus, mandatory approval gate, and immutable audit log. Upper end adds: SOX §404 documentation support, multi-company filing ingestion with automated EDGAR monitoring, investor-facing portal with async Q&A delivery, and ElevenLabs voiceover for IR video narrations. Securities counsel fees ($10K–$30K) for system prompt review and Reg FD workflow design are separate from the development cost. ### How long does it take to ship an AI IR platform? 16–24 weeks. A UI demo with mock Q&A can be built in a Lovable weekend. The 16-week production build adds: SEC EDGAR automated filing ingestion, text-embedding-3-large RAG corpus, Claude Sonnet 4.6 ZDR Q&A drafting, immutable audit log (Supabase append-only + S3 Object Lock), and supervisory approval workflow. The 24-week version adds multi-company filing monitoring, investor-facing async Q&A portal, and ElevenLabs IR video voiceover generation. ### Can RapidDev build this for my IR agency? Yes. RapidDev has built compliance-grade financial platforms with immutable audit trails, ZDR routing, and supervisory approval workflows. For IR specifically, we engage securities counsel as a project partner during the architecture phase — the Reg FD compliance design is a legal project, not just a code project.

Regulation Fair Disclosure (SEC 17 CFR §243.100) requires public companies to simultaneously disclose any material non-public information (MNPI) to all investors when they disclose it to securities professionals (analysts, institutional investors). If an AI system generates a response containing MNPI and it's sent to one analyst before a public filing, the company has violated Reg FD. The AI platform doesn't create the Reg FD obligation — the company already has it. The platform's obligation is to ensure that no AI-generated content reaches an external party before a licensed IR professional reviews it for MNPI. The approval gate is the technical implementation of that obligation. ### Can the AI answer questions from retail investors in real time? Not safely in real time — the mandatory human review requirement means investor Q&A must be async. A retail investor submits a question, it enters the review queue, a licensed IR professional reviews the AI draft (typically within 24 hours for routine questions), approves it, and the investor receives the approved response. Real-time AI responses to investor questions without human review would create a Reg FD violation risk if any response inadvertently contains MNPI. The async workflow with approval gate is the only Reg FD-compliant architecture. ### Does 5-year AI input/output retention really apply to Q&A drafts? Yes. 17 CFR §275.204-2(a)(7) requires investment advisers to retain 'written communications sent and received in the conduct of the adviser's business.' An AI-drafted Q&A response that an IR adviser reviews and sends to an investor is a written communication in the adviser's business. Both the AI input (the question + RAG context that generated the draft) and the AI output (the draft response) must be retained for 5 years, with the first 2 years in an easily accessible format. The immutable Supabase audit log satisfies the first-2-years requirement; S3 Object Lock satisfies the 5-year WORM (Write Once Read Many) requirement. --- Source: https://www.rapidevelopers.com/ai-implementation/ai-enhanced-investor-relations-platform-ai-white-label © RapidDev — https://www.rapidevelopers.com/ai-implementation/ai-enhanced-investor-relations-platform-ai-white-label
