Investment research is tedious and non-sequential, which makes it costly and difficult to automate. The engine I built aims to enable a powerful and cost-efficient way of conducting financial research. It combines AI and external data services through an agent-based operating model. As an avid reader of publications from Hindenburg Research, and following its closure, along with the founder’s promise to share information about their internal processes, I decided to try setting up my own research team....

I don’t play Minecraft anymore so I opted for another theme, a service I was working on and wanted to promote through a funny Tiktok on the same basis as the Minecraft Shorts....
