AI for Target / Buyers Lists?

Hi all - I originally built an AI software for PE investors for M&A sourcing. But am finding it start to resonate with IB folks lately. Use case is like ChatGPT, but for generating a comprehensive target / buyer list in niche industries. 

I'm many years removed from my IB days, so wanted to ask: How relevant is this for junior bankers? How much of your time is spent generating these lists? 

I'd assume there's a lot of precedent decks within most banks? Would love to get more feedback
