# FinSight Research Guide

## Overview

FinSight is a deep research agent designed specifically for financial analysis. Developed by RUC-NLPIR, it combines multi-source data retrieval, financial reasoning, and report generation to produce publication-ready financial research. It handles market analysis, company fundamentals, sector comparisons, and macroeconomic assessment through specialized agents.

## Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/RUC-NLPIR/FinSight.git
cd FinSight && pip install -e .
```

## Core Capabilities

### Research Query to Report

```python
from finsight import FinSightAgent

agent = FinSightAgent(llm_provider="anthropic")

# Generate comprehensive financial analysis
report = agent.research(
    "Analyze the competitive landscape of the global EV battery "
    "market. Compare CATL, LG Energy, and Panasonic on market "
    "share, technology, margins, and growth outlook."
)

print(report.summary)
report.save("ev_battery_analysis.pdf")
```

### Agent Architecture

| Agent | Role |
|-------|------|
| **Retrieval Agent** | Fetches data from SEC filings, financial APIs, news |
| **Data Agent** | Processes financial statements, ratios, time series |
| **Analysis Agent** | Performs fundamental, technical, and comparative analysis |
| **Reasoning Agent** | Synthesizes findings, identifies trends and risks |
| **Report Agent** | Generates structured research reports with citations |

### Financial Data Sources

```python
# FinSight integrates with multiple data sources
config = {
    "sec_edgar": True,        # SEC filings (free)
    "fred": True,             # Federal Reserve economic data

    "and competitive moat assessment."
)

# Sector analysis
report = agent.research(
    "Compare the top 5 cloud computing companies by revenue "

    "Analyze the impact of rising interest rates on US "
    "commercial real estate valuations since 2022."
)
```
