Welcome to episode one of Investing with AI Podcast for Financial Analysts. We’ve spent years in investing, and over the past couple years, we’ve been deep in the weeds with AI. Testing tools. Working with firms. Trying to understand what matters versus what’s just noise. For a while, most of it didn’t feel that useful but that’s starting to change rapidly. In this episode, we talk through what’s shifted, from basic chatbots to more agent-based workflows, and why that’s starting to matt...

As AI becomes more deeply integrated into fundamental investing, where does human judgment still provide an edge? In this episode of Invest with AI, Brett Caughran and Alistair Smallwood, Head of Applied AI at Primer, discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping equity research, alpha generation, and the future of fundamental investing. "And I think there'll be a real opportunity for the sharpest people in fundamental investing that really understand AI systems to identify over and unde...
It was never worth an associate's time to strip every KPI out of every CIM that crosses the desk. At $20 of tokens, it is. No guest this week. Brett Caughran and Khe Hy on the work that just became economic, and why the hard part is no longer the technology. The Mac Minis people bought to run OpenClaw mostly run Codex now, and the reason is reach: sessions on your machine are reachable from your phone. No MCP for DealCloud? The agent drives your logged-in Chrome instead. Which moves the cons...
Doug Clinton started with one question in late 2022: can ChatGPT beat the S&P 500? The early results were promising enough that he built a company around it. Today he runs Intelligent Alpha, where frontier models do the investment analysis and the portfolio management and he's still a partner at Deepwater, making the same calls as a human. He, Brett, and Khe get into where the models are already good enough, why he grades them a B+ analyst and not an A, and the contrarian call on which m...
Former Point72 TMT analyst Thomas Li left the buyside to build Daloopa in 2019 with the goal of capturing market share from the data oligopoly of Bloomberg, FactSet and Cap IQ. Last year data consumption on the platform grew over 100x, and it wasn't the models that did it. He, Brett, and Khe get into what separates a reliable MCP from a brittle one, why Claude in Excel still can't handle a real buyside model, and the one layer of the analyst job he thinks is already collapsing. ------------...
Kris Bennatti and Hudson Labs are now giving a no-hallucination guarantee, something she says no other financial AI offers. The reason it's rare is the uncomfortable part: her team found state-of-the-art models return the wrong financial number about 30% of the time once you go past a few reporting periods. Kris, Brett and Khe get into why precision is still a difficult problem, how a forensic risk score turns fraud signals into a hard number, and why she thinks 2026 is "integrate or die." ...
