Proactive task agents
Introducing Triggers From Finster
Each quarter, the same pressure builds across trading floors and research desks. An earnings call concludes, and the clock starts ticking.
Analysts move quickly to review the transcript, reconcile the reported numbers with their models, interpret management’s tone and guidance, and distill it all into a clear, defensible view. It’s meticulous work and it has to happen fast. If you wait for the perfectly polished note, the market will have already moved.
What if that entire workflow kicked off automatically, the moment the data landed? Without you ever telling the AI agent to do something. This is the sort of proactive work that banks and asset managers can expect from modern AI agents.
And that's exactly what our newest feature release, “Triggers”, does.
AI Agents Move From Reactive to Proactive
Until now, Finster's task automation let you schedule repeatable research workflows on a timed basis: daily, weekly, however you needed it. Triggers in Finster take a fundamentally different approach. Instead of running on a clock, your workflows now run based on external events. The agents monitor the outside world and take action on your behalf.
To use, just set up an earnings call analysis once and then add a trigger. The next time that company reports, Finster detects the transcript within minutes of the call concluding — and your entire workflow begins automatically, acting on the freshest data available. Skipping that manual kick-off takes the onus off the analyst and places it on the agent.
How It Works
Run a task once — build your workflow exactly how you want it (earnings analysis, peer comparison, risk screening — whatever your process demands).
Add a trigger — open the scheduling panel and select a trigger-based event, like a new earnings transcript hitting the system.
Take the task off your list and let it run. The next time that event occurs, Finster executes the full workflow proactively and delivers your output, sending you an email notification when it’s ready for review.
It's that simple. One click to set up and no maintenance thereafter.
What this means for analysts
Triggers automates one of the most routine and time-consuming parts of the research process, freeing up your attention and mental bandwidth. Instead of spending time monitoring developments manually, you can focus on what actually requires judgment: interpreting the signal and making informed investment decisions based on the insights surfaced by AI.
Analysts who leverage AI in the right way will have their work done and shipped before anyone else even starts.
Try it for yourself and cross some tasks off your list.
