AI for earnings analysis
Claude Sonnet is particularly strong at earnings calls and financial filings. Paste a full 10-K or earnings transcript and ask specific questions: 'What were the key revenue drivers?', 'What risks did management highlight?', 'How does guidance compare to analyst consensus?' The 200K context handles most SEC filings in full.
Excel and financial modelling
GPT-4o via Microsoft Copilot is the best AI for Excel workflows — writing formulas, building models, and explaining spreadsheet logic in plain English. For Python-based financial modelling (NumPy, pandas, QuantLib), DeepSeek V3 and Claude both write clean, accurate financial code.
Important disclaimer
AI models can make numerical errors and don't have real-time access to market data unless connected to tools. Never use AI output as the sole basis for investment decisions. Verify figures against primary sources and consult qualified financial advisors for regulated activities.
