Finsight 📈

Your AI finance bro, Finn

About

Finsight is a RAG (retrieval augmented generation) AI app that helps new investors understand financial markets through experiential learning. With market data streamed from Yahoo Finance, state-of-the-art LLMs (large language models) process that data and deliver high-quality, unbiased market briefings to users through a friendly user interface.

Our Process

We were motivated by the difficulty of learning more about the stock and financial markets, as they are taking a bigger role in our day-to-day wealth management lives. So, we determined a need for an educational platform to help new investors understand what the financial market looks like daily and provide critical insights on investments. As a result, Finsense came to be. We spent the first few hours planning our idea, including developing our unique “RAG” pipeline from data sources like Yahoo Finance to LLMs to the user interface with LangChain wrappers. We also sketched our idea on a whiteboard while researching similar designs: Yahoo Finance, Robinhood, Motley Fools, etc.

Current Features

  • Top company stock listings dashboard for users to explore and add to their "favorites"
  • In-depth RAG-generated stock briefings for day, month, quarter, and year
  • User login for saving favorites
  • Tutorial and definitions to help users learn about financial terms

Future Work

  • Deploy to a permanent cloud location and custom domain
  • Experiment with different LLMs and Prompt Templates to improve response quality
  • Streaming tokens for cleaner chat UI
