Bigwig – an Agentic News Site for financial markets
Hey HN, For the last couple of months, we have been building an AI agent for continuous statistical analysis, and we're looking for feedback while it's still early in development. We call it BIGWIG - an autonomous agent that is specialised, and very good at, performing advanced statistical analysis, through long traces of iteration and reasoning. As it builds statistical models it also "emits" outputs back to the user that you can then interact with, iterate on and schedule for follow up analysis. While we're still in BETA, we've launched a public analysis site that showcases some of the…

FactIQ – a realtime econ+finance database for AI agentsJul 2026 · github.com · ▲7Hey HN, we built an Econ+Finance database to let AI agents do investment research. We spend a lot of tokens to organize macro releases and SEC filings into a clean format, so that your agents have more context to do actual analysis. The problem AI agents are great at data analysis. But they become ineffective if most of their context window is spent on gathering and cleaning data, instead of validating hypotheses. Data in the wild is messy and rarely standardized. Definitions and measurements change over time. This problem is compounded by a fragmented data universe. Point solutions exist…

fn2.aiJan 2026 · fn2.ai · ▲5Hi HN, I've been using LLMs for one-off market questions against a database of earnings transcripts since ~2025. In tech years that's a long time so as a Solo dev I built a platform around it and have been adding miscellaneous other financial tools and integrations. Backend infrastructure is super boring! PostgreSQL & ElasticSearch, with the data appropriately sharded and replicated across two regions. Some example requests: "What did NVIDIA say about data-center demand on its last call?" "Brief me on NVDA, AMD and AVGO before each market open" "Notify me when AAPL moves more than 5% in a…

I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024. It's sold…

i wanted to change the habit of reaching for my phone in the morning and doomscrolling away an hour so i built an app to help me. now i have to literally touch grass before accessing my most distracting apps the app is built in swiftui, uses the screen time apis provided by apple and google vision to recognise grass or not i'd love to get your thoughts on the concept.
