What it does
FinRobot is a framework of AI agents for financial work, such as equity research (studying companies' shares), trading research and risk analysis.
Its makers say the financial numbers, such as company valuations, are calculated by regular software, while the AI model explains and writes up the results. Several agents work together, including ones that argue for and against a view.
There are three parts: a desktop research app, a self-hosted web app that turns a stock ticker into a report, and an original teaching library behind the research paper.
Who it's for
Financial analysts, researchers and developers exploring AI for financial research.
