FinChat

FinChat is purpose-built for financial document analysis with structured access to earnings transcripts, financial statements, and analyst-grade insights. It handles the specific format of earnings reports (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow, MD&A) better than general-purpose AI tools, and surfaces relevant metrics like guidance changes, segment performance, and notable surprises that matter to investors.

Prompt template
Provide a structured analysis of [COMPANY]'s latest earnings report:

Before vs. after using this prompt

Before — without the prompt

An investor opens [COMPANY]'s 60-page Q3 earnings report, scrolls through dense financial tables, tries to find the segment breakdown, gets lost in MD&A jargon, and walks away unsure whether the quarter was actually good or bad.

After — with the prompt

Same investor pastes the report into FinChat, asks for a structured summary, and within 60 seconds knows: revenue grew 12% vs expected 9%, services segment is now 40% of total, management raised full-year guidance, and the only concern is hardware margins compressing.

Runner-up

Claude

Best for very long documents (full 10-K filings can run 200+ pages) where FinChat's interface becomes harder to navigate. Claude's 200K context window handles entire annual reports in one pass. Use Claude when you need to analyze multiple filings together or when FinChat doesn't yet cover a specific company.

Frequently asked

  • Is FinChat free to use?

    FinChat has a free tier with limited queries per day. The Pro tier is needed for serious investors who analyze multiple companies regularly.

  • Can FinChat replace reading the actual report?

    For quick decisions and routine analysis, yes. For high-conviction positions or due diligence on a new investment, you should still read the original — AI summaries can miss nuance in management's tone or footnotes.

  • Does FinChat cover international stocks?

    FinChat covers most US-listed stocks and major international companies. Less liquid international stocks may have incomplete data.
