Our Technology Stack: How AI Creates Financial Content

Welcome to the engine room of Deep Analyst! Ever wondered how we churn out those sarcastic yet insightful financial analyses faster than a day trader can lose money? Let’s pull back the curtain on our sophisticated AI-powered content generation pipeline.

The Big Picture: From Ticker to Article

Our content creation process is a carefully orchestrated symphony of artificial intelligence, financial APIs, and good old-fashioned automation. The pipeline flows from stock ticker input through our SP500 Batch Processor, into the Deep Analyst Agent’s multi-stage analysis, and finally to publication through our Hugo-based website system.

Core Components

1. Entry Point: SP500 Batch Processor

File: sp500_batch_processor.py

Our content pipeline starts with the SP500 Batch Processor, a flexible script that can analyze stocks in various ways:

• Random Selection: Pick random stocks for variety
• Sorted Analysis: Systematic alphabetical processing
• Custom Tickers: Analyze specific stocks on demand
• Batch Processing: Handle multiple stocks efficiently

2. The Brain: Deep Analyst Agent

This is where the magic happens. Our Deep Analyst Agent is a sophisticated multi-stage AI system built using PydanticAI that creates financial content through several specialized agents:

Our Deep Analyst Agent coordinates five specialized AI agents working in sequence:

1. Content Planning - Research and section planning
2. Research Analysis - Deep dive into each section
3. Content Writing - Creating the actual content
4. Editorial Review - Quality control and refinement
5. Final Assembly - Publication-ready formatting

For detailed information about how each stage works and what decisions are made, see our Methodology page.

3. Data Sources and APIs

Our AI agents tap into multiple data sources to ensure comprehensive analysis:

Financial Data

• Market Data APIs: Real-time stock prices, historical data, financial statements
• Web Search APIs: Current news and market sentiment
• Multiple Provider Support: Dynamic pricing and model selection

Fact Checking Pipeline

• Multi-source Verification: Cross-references data across multiple APIs
• Automated Validation: Programmatic verification of financial claims
• Fallback Systems: Backup data sources for reliability

4. Publication System: Hugo Integration
