AI agent for investment analysts
Coverage Watchlist News Triage Agent
A short, checked digest of material news on covered companies
What it does
Analysts covering many companies cannot read every headline, and acting on a rumor can be costly. Through the day, this agent watches news, filings and press releases for the coverage list. It removes duplicates and minor items, then scores each remaining item by likely effect on the thesis or model. Guidance changes come first, then management changes, deals and legal events. It checks each material item against the primary source, such as the company filing, so rumors are not treated as fact. When a story cannot be confirmed, it labels it unconfirmed and checks again later. It sends a short digest with the top items and links. The analyst decides what to act on. Edge case: a headline says a deal is done but the filing says talks only, so the agent uses the filing wording.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
