AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemShip It

Local-first stock watchlist agent with memory—but nanobot framework is unproven.

Strengths

•Investment thesis tracking is genuinely clever—AI remembers your thesis and flags contradictions
•Multi-channel alerting (Telegram, Discord, Slack, CLI) lowers friction to adoption
•No vendor lock-in: yfinance + LiteLLM + pluggable LLM means real portability

Weaknesses

•Nanobot framework is custom and nascent—no ecosystem, likely maintenance burden
•Conviction scoring not validated against real trading outcomes or benchmarks
•Competes with Seeking Alpha, TradingView, and dozens of robo-advisor APIs already doing this

Post Description

Hey HN,I built Finclaw because I got tired of staring at charts and news tickers all day.

It's a lightweight, local-first AI agent that:

Monitors your personal watchlist with memory of your investment thesis

Checks prices at open/close + scans news every 30 min

Gives its own Bullish / Neutral / Bearish opinion with conviction level and reasoning

Alerts you proactively when price moves, earnings hit, M&A rumors drop, or your thesis gets confirmed/challenged

Does deep fundamental + technical analysis, DCF modeling, AI-exposure scoring, and even suggests related tickers on demand

Everything runs on free yfinance data (no API keys for market data), LiteLLM (swap Claude / GPT / Grok / whatever), and a tiny framework called nanobot. No vendor lock-in, no subscriptions.
