A specialized agent for SEC filings analysis

• "Extract quarterly revenue growth rates for Microsoft over the past 2 years"

How to Create Effective Prompts

When working with AI tools to extract information from SEC filings, you can use these fields as a guide to create effective prompts. Here are some strategies:

1. Be specific about the filing type: Specify which filing (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, etc.) you want to analyze.

   • Example: "Extract the revenue and net income figures from Apple's latest 10-K filing."

2. Request multiple related fields: Group related fields to get comprehensive insights.

   • Example: "Analyze Microsoft's business segments, providing segment revenue, operating income, and year-over-year growth rates."

3. Compare across time periods: Ask for trend analysis using the same fields across multiple filings.

   • Example: "Compare Tesla's gross margin, operating margin, and net margin for the past 4 quarters."

4. Contextualize with ratios: Request calculated metrics based on raw financial data.

   • Example: "Calculate Amazon's debt-to-equity ratio, current ratio, and return on equity from its most recent 10-K."

5. Focus on narrative sections: Extract insights from textual discussions.

   • Example: "Summarize the key risk factors related to supply chain issues mentioned in Nvidia's latest annual report."

6. Cross-company comparisons: Request the same fields across competitors.

   • Example: "Compare the R&D expenses as a percentage of revenue for Google, Meta, and Amazon from their latest annual filings."

7. Layer quantitative and qualitative data: Combine financial metrics with management commentary.

   • Example: "Extract Intel's capital expenditure figures for the last fiscal year, and summarize management's discussion about their future investment plans."

8. Identify changes: Look for significant changes in reporting or circumstances.

   • Example: "Identify any changes in accounting policies or estimates in Disney's latest 10-K compared to the previous year."
