Introduction
I recently started a new company called Hamlet. I’m not (yet) disclosing what we do, but for those of you who know me well I care a lot about writing and technology.
I believe every stodgy old part of the Internet will be reinvented by AI. And as my ‘sandbox’ project, I decided to create TiredBanker — which summarizes every earnings report and trasncript for the past 10 years of every S&P 500 company.
In 2008, as an M&A analyst for a Fortune 500 company (yes, I did that once), I found myself spending countless hours listening to earnings calls and taking notes on competitor activity. This experience exposed me to the tedious nature of this task, and as a personal investor, I recognized the need for a more efficient solution.
Introducing Tiredbanker
Tiredbanker is a platform that provides summarized earnings reports for every S&P 500 company for the past decade, along with insights into the track records of CEOs and CFOs. This is a huge time saver — you don’t have to listen to earnings calls anymore unless you need extreme detail and nuance (which, most average investors do not need).
Development Process
The development of Tiredbanker was fast. All off the content is produced by GPT 3.5/4.
CMS Selection: Webflow was chosen as the content management system due to its ease of use and flexibility.
API Integration: The Finnhub API was implemented to automate data collection from 10Qs and transcripts, eliminating manual downloads.
Prompt Testing: Multiple prompts were tested for both transcripts and 10Qs to ensure optimal summarization.
Data Service Creation: A data service was developed to allow Webflow to pull and display the correct information for each company.
Automation and Updates: The platform updates automatically with every new earnings release.
Calendar Functionality: Users can add upcoming earnings reports to their Apple or Google Calendar.
Design Inspiration: The design was influenced by the 1990s post-modern internet, drawing from Geocities and the Yellow Sony Walkman for a nostalgic touch.
Email Subscription: The email subscribe list is powered by BeeHiiv.
SEO Generation: GPT-4 was employed to generate all SEO tags for the platform.
Future Expansion
Tiredbanker plans to expand its services to include all public companies in America and offer email updates with transcript summaries sent out weekly. Additionally, it will generate podcasts of transcripts and summaries for on-the-go consumption.
A Glimpse into the Future of Content
Tiredbanker is a part of a larger project at Hamlet and offers a brief glimpse into what’s possible with AI. Most content on the Internet does not need to be longform. It should be easy for people to understand and not cloaked in techincal jargon. I plan on solving that at scale.
