Run scheduled AI deep research on stock watchlists
A reply describes daily and weekly cron jobs running AI deep research on watchlists and monitoring company events and insider activity.
Done with a custom-built or unnamed agent
- What they did
- In a comment, the person said they wanted daily and weekly cron jobs to trigger a script that runs AI deep research across their watchlists, plus a few tools to pull quick baseline information on any stock. They were buying “skills” from a Substack and planned to adapt them for local AI on a MacBook, but described the setup as still a work in progress rather than a finished system.
- How it went
- They did not report results, performance numbers, or a completed workflow. The main limitation they named was lack of time, and the implementation was still unfinished.
- Worth knowing
- The only concrete cost mentioned was roughly $300 per year for the “Compound with AI” Substack, apparently after some discount.
