Slack + Perplexity SEC Agent

Opportunity

Finance and strategy teams jump between multiple websites and PDFs to interpret dense SEC filings, and answers often get lost in private DMs or one‑off documents.​There is no central, conversational space where everyone in the workspace can ask and see the same, verified questions and answers about recent 10‑K, 10‑Q, and 8‑K filings.

Solution

Implemented a Slack app that routes channel questions to the Perplexity API configured to focus on the latest public SEC filings, returning structured summaries and specific data points.​Configured the agent to reply in a shared Slack channel (or thread), so all teammates can view, search, and reuse prior Q&A about filings instead of repeating the same research.

Impact

Reduced time spent digging through filings by turning SEC research into a single, collaborative Slack conversation, improving the speed and consistency of financial insights across the team.​Improved transparency and knowledge sharing: everyone can see how questions were answered, follow links back to the original documents, and build on previous analyses instead of working in silos.
