  • 1.  Agentic AI - Financial analysis of annual report workflow

    Posted 11 days ago

    Good morning everyone,

    As part of recent work at Aston University on financial‑analysis AI agents, I’ve been experimenting with Google’s Gemini to build a fully functional analysis agent capable of processing annual reports end‑to‑end.

    I wanted to share with the community a short summary of the workflow I used while developing it. It also covers prompt‑engineering structure, ratio‑analysis reliability, and how to critically evaluate LLM‑generated financial insights using both academic and professional literature: A practical guide to building your first financial AI Agent with Gemini | LinkedIn

    If you’ve been experimenting with agentic AI in a financial setting yourself, I’d be very interested to hear about your approach, especially concerning how you handled ratio accuracy and output interpretation.

    Thank you in advance,

    Best regards,

    Excellent article Guillaume. 

    From my experience, I do believe a multi-agent approach will work best to separate the business strategy (PESTEL, SWOT) from the financial analysis part. I also like to use a metaprompting approach combines with a mixture of experts command that research has proved to minimize hallucination and improve scores in many cognitive tasks. In this way, two years ago I was involved in a project to conduct PESTEL and SWOT analysis and the prompt was lacking this mix of experts approach. Last year, I upgraded the model to factor the aforementioned approach and the results improved significantly. 

    You can see below an example for PESTEL:

    "Act as a strategic advisory board to conduct a comprehensive PESTEL analysis for [INSERT COMPANY/INDUSTRY].
    Assign one specialist to each category:
    • Political: A Policy Analyst/Lobbyist.
    • Economic: A Macroeconomist.
    • Social: A Sociologist/Trend Forecaster.
    • Technological: A CTO/Innovation Specialist.
    • Environmental: An ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Consultant.
    • Legal: A Corporate General Counsel.
    The Process:
    1. Specialist Reports: Each expert identifies the top 2-3 high-impact factors within their domain.
    2. Cross-Impact Analysis: The experts must discuss how their domains overlap (e.g., how Environmental regulations are driving Technological shifts).
    3. Risk & Opportunity Matrix: Based on the discussion, provide a final table of the most critical threats and strategic opportunities for the organization."
