Who This Is For
Finance professionals, students, and retail investors who want to understand โ and actually use โ AI tools in equity research, without needing a data science background. No prior coding experience required for Modules 1โ2; a laptop with Python is needed from Module 3 onward (setup guide provided in advance).

Full Agenda
Welcome & The AI Landscape in Finance
Where AI genuinely helps in stock analysis today โ and where it doesn't. Setting expectations before touching any tool.
Module 1 โ No-Code AI Screening & ResearchBeginner
Live walkthrough of AI-driven screeners and how to read an AI stock score without over-trusting it.
Module 2 โ Sentiment & Fundamental AI ToolsIntermediate
Using LLMs to summarize earnings calls and news sentiment; Perplexity for cited, up-to-date company research; NotebookLM for synthesizing annual reports and transcripts into a Q&A-ready notebook.
Module 3 โ Python + AI Coding LabAdvanced
Hands-on: pull live price data, compute technical indicators, and pass the output to an LLM for a plain-English interpretation.
Module 4 โ Guided Walkthrough: A Working AI Stock AnalyzerAdvanced
Walk through a pre-built, tested script line by line: fetch data โ compute signals โ generate an AI-written summary report. You leave with the working code, not a live-coding risk.
Module 5 โ Risks, Limitations & Responsible Use
Hallucinated citations, backtest overfitting, no live data in most LLMs, and why AI scores are not investment advice.
Q&A, Resources & Certificate
Open floor, tool cheat-sheet handout, and next-steps for continued practice.
