The problem it solves

You want to stay on top of news for the stocks you follow, but checking each ticker one by one every day eats into your morning. By the time you catch up, your team has already asked about it in Slack.

Who it fits

Investors or trading teams who track a specific list of stock tickers.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule kicks off the check
  2. The system looks up the latest news for each ticker on your list
  3. Each story is formatted into a readable message
  4. The message is posted to your Slack channel
What you get

Watchlist headlines delivered to your team channel

You get the latest news on your stock watchlist posted to Slack every day so your team stays current.

What you get

A daily Slack post with the latest news for every stock on your watchlist.

What you need

A FinnHub API key and a Slack account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
