FutureHouse co-founder and CEO Sam Rodriques likened Finch's capabilities to those of a first-year graduate student, noting its ability to quickly reproduce key findings from existing research while also identifying novel insights. Despite its potential, Finch is still in the early stages and prone to errors, which FutureHouse aims to address through further development and testing.
