How Agents boost your research.

Use one-time agents when you need a specific answer after an event, at a defined time, or for a single decision. Use recurring agents when you want the same logic applied automatically every hour, day, week, month, quarter, or year.

Best prompt structure for Agents.

If an agent workflow feels vague, it usually needs one of these upgrades: a better timing instruction, a narrower research universe, clearer change detection, or a stronger required output.

1. Be explicit about timing

  • Run this Agent once after [Company] reports earnings on [date].
  • Run this Agent once on [date] at [time and timezone].
  • Every Friday after the US market closes, review [watchlist].

2. Define the research universe

  • Review my portfolio for important developments since the previous run.
  • Manage my [Watchlist Name] watchlist focused on [theme].
  • Reassess [Company] from first principles.

3. Ask the Agent to examine change

  • Focus only on developments that occurred since the previous review.
  • Explain what genuinely changed for the investment case.
  • Separate meaningful shifts from normal noise or volatility.

4. Force a useful output

  • Rank developments by portfolio impact.
  • Add stronger candidates and remove weaker ones.
  • Conclude whether the stock is more attractive, less attractive, or unchanged.

Static / One-Time Agents

Use these when the agent should run only once: after an event, at a specific time, or to answer a single research decision.

Run Once After Earnings

Run this Agent once after [Company] reports earnings on [date]. Analyze the earnings release, management commentary, investor reaction, estimate changes, and subsequent stock-price movement. Explain what genuinely changed for the investment case, what appears temporary, and whether the stock has become more or less attractive.
Best for post-event thesis updates.

Event Debrief

Run this Agent once on [date] at [time and timezone], after [conference / investor day / product launch / regulatory decision] has finished. Summarize the most important announcements, compare them with previous expectations, review investor sentiment and the market reaction, and explain whether the event materially changed the outlook for [Company / Sector / Theme].
Best for investor days, launches, and decisions.

Pre-Event Research Briefing

Run this Agent once on the morning of [event or date]. Prepare a concise investor briefing for [Company / Event]. Explain what the market expects, which announcements or metrics matter most, where expectations may be too high or too low, and what investors should watch during the event.
Best for preparing before earnings or macro events.

One-Off Comparison Decision

Compare [Company A] and [Company B] today as investment opportunities. Explain which one currently has the stronger business quality, valuation support, and risk-reward profile. Conclude with the clearest reason to prefer one over the other, and include a comparison table of the most important differences.
Best for choosing where to spend research time now.

Single Thesis Challenge

Build a one-time challenge memo for my thesis on [Company]. Identify the strongest arguments against the position, what the market may be seeing that I am underweighting, the evidence that would invalidate the thesis, and whether the position still deserves deeper work now.
Best for reducing confirmation bias.

Post-Event Watchlist Reassessment

Run this Agent once after [event]. Analyze the announcements, market reaction, and changes in expectations. Update my [Watchlist Name] watchlist by adding newly relevant companies and removing entries whose original rationale was weakened. Explain all changes.
Best when a single catalyst changes the list.

Scheduled / Recurring Agents

Use these when you want the same logic repeated automatically on a cadence, with emphasis on new developments since the previous run.

Hourly Portfolio Risk Monitor

Every hour on weekdays, review my portfolio for material company news, regulatory developments, unusual market movements, analyst actions, or changes in investor sentiment. Focus only on developments that occurred since the previous review. Rank them by potential portfolio impact and explain whether any position requires closer attention.
Best for concentrated portfolios or catalyst-heavy periods.

Daily Market-Close Review

Every weekday after the market closes, review today's performance across my portfolio. Identify the positions that contributed most positively and negatively, explain the important company-specific or market-wide drivers, and distinguish meaningful developments from normal daily volatility. End with the issues that should be monitored during the next trading session.
Best for daily portfolio discipline.

Weekly Watchlist Conviction Review

Every Saturday, review all stocks in my [Watchlist Name]. Rank the companies by current investment attractiveness. Explain what changed during the week, which investment cases remain convincing, and which names no longer deserve a place on the watchlist. Add compelling new candidates when appropriate and remove existing stocks whose original rationale has weakened.
Best for keeping a serious research funnel fresh.

Monday Market Preparation

Every Monday morning, prepare a market briefing for the coming week. Cover the most important earnings releases, economic data, central-bank events, political or regulatory developments, and company-specific catalysts relevant to my portfolio and watchlists. Rank the events by likely importance and explain what could create the biggest surprises.
Best for setting the week's attention map.

Monthly Portfolio Health Check

On the first day of every month, conduct a complete health check of my portfolio. Review performance, concentration, valuation, financial quality, risk exposures, and important changes to each investment case. Identify emerging portfolio risks, positions that require further research, and areas where several holdings depend on the same underlying assumption.
Best for avoiding slow portfolio drift.

Quarterly Investment-Case Refresh

Every quarter, update the complete investment case for [Company]. Incorporate the latest financial results, management guidance, analyst estimates, valuation, competitive developments, and stock-price performance. Compare the new findings with the previous quarter and conclude whether the bull case, base case, and bear case have strengthened or weakened.
Best for maintaining an owned thesis over time.

Recurring Watchlist Management

These agent workflows keep thematic lists curated instead of becoming passive collections of stale names.

Weekly Thematic Watchlist Curator

Every Saturday, manage my [Watchlist Name] watchlist focused on [theme or strategy]. Review existing entries, remove stocks or ETFs that no longer fit, and add stronger candidates. Keep the list focused and explain all additions and removals.
Best for preserving the purpose of a thematic list.

AI Infrastructure Watchlist

Every week, manage my "AI Infrastructure" watchlist. Find companies and ETFs with meaningful exposure to semiconductors, data centers, networking, power, cooling, cloud infrastructure, and related AI investment. Remove weak or indirect exposures and add stronger candidates. Explain each company's role in the value chain.
Best for high-noise themes with changing beneficiaries.

Most-Discussed Stocks

Every day after the US market closes, manage my "Most Discussed Stocks" watchlist. Identify stocks with the strongest or fastest-growing attention on X and Reddit. Evaluate discussion volume, sentiment, key narratives, catalysts, and market reaction. Add meaningful new candidates, remove stocks whose attention has faded, and keep the list limited to [20] entries.
Best for spotting genuine social momentum versus noise.

Upcoming Catalysts

Every Monday, manage my "Upcoming Catalysts" watchlist. Find stocks with important events during the next four weeks, such as earnings, investor days, product launches, regulatory decisions, or clinical results. Add relevant stocks and remove them after the catalyst has been analyzed. Include the event date, expectations, and key upside and downside scenarios.
Best for event pipelines and preparation.
