Gather market news for investing with an agent
A commenter is setting up an AI agent with access to a news API to collect market news for investing decisions. · Jun 1, 2026
- What They Did
- The commenter is setting up an agent on a VPS and plans to feed it data weekly by hand: scans on leading growth companies and industries plus an Excel sheet ranking about 200 sub-industries by performance versus the S&P 500. The agent also gets access to SEC EDGAR and a cheaper, slightly delayed news API so it can connect unusual relative-strength shifts with the prior week’s news; the person is using it to surface themes, not make final decisions.
- How It Went
- The intended result is to spot major industry shifts within a few days and catch most of the move, with CPU names like Intel, AMD, and Marvell given as examples. They describe it as a growth-investing workflow and say they are only now trying it agentically, so no performance numbers are reported.
- Worth Knowing
- You still have to supply the core inputs manually each week, and the commenter specifically calls out VPS setup and ongoing API bills as the main catches.

Build me a workflow that runs every morning at [time], pulls market news from [news API name] for these tickers and topics: [list], and uses an AI step to filter out noise and summarize the top 5 items with links. It should email the digest to [my email address]. Done means a test run delivers one correctly formatted digest, and the workflow only reads news and sends me the email, nothing else.
