How This Course Works

AI Equity Research Program

This is an online, guided early access program running from October 13 to November 13, 2025, with structured weekly releases. The total time to complete the course is approximately 5 hours, and all materials are designed for immediate application in real-world equity research workflows.

Launch Week (October 13)

The program launches with 2 Foundational Modules:

  • AI Foundations for Equity Research
  • Prompting for Modern AI Systems

These modules establish the foundation for understanding generative AI, structuring effective prompts, and applying best practices for accuracy and reliability in analyst workflows.

Applications Module (Oct 13 – Nov 13)

The Applications Module features 10 practical, AI-augmented workflows that mirror real-world equity research — with a focus on time-intensive tasks common during earnings season.

Each workflow includes:

  • Video walkthroughs demonstrating workflow execution inside ChatGPT
  • Step-by-step guidance with clear inputs, process, and outputs
  • Prompt templates for reuse and adaptation
  • Implementation notes on evaluation, refinement, and maintaining research integrity
  • Best-practice commentary highlighting where AI adds the most value — and what to watch for

Release Schedule:

  • Oct 13: 2 workflows released at launch
  • Oct 20, Oct 27, Nov 3: 2 new workflows released each Monday

Each workflow takes approximately 30 minutes to complete and can be applied immediately to active earnings work.

Iterative Development

All workflows and prompt templates will be tested, refined, and improved throughout earnings season. Updates and enhancements will be released weekly to all members, ensuring you always benefit from the latest insights, refinements, and best practices observed in the field.
