I stopped paying for research tools , here's the free setup I use instead

Hi everyone, wanted to share a tool I've been using for fundamental analysis -- I call it my "Pocket Analyst." Basically a little AI analyst you carry around, ask it whatever comes to mind.

Like when these questions randomly pop into my head:

* How did AMD do last quarter?
* Which is more expensive on P/S ratio, Nvidia or AMD?
* Did Qualcomm management actually follow through on the guidance they gave over the last 5 earnings calls?
* What's AMD's price action been like this week, any fundamental news?
* Is Qualcomm's ROIC actually beating its WACC --- is it creating value?
* .............

Before, I'd have to dig through Yahoo Finance or Seeking Alpha, pull the data, piece it together. Easy 20+ minutes for something that just randomly crossed my mind.

The best part --- it's completely free.

Setup is straightforward, just three things:

1. [defeatbeta-api](https://github.com/defeat-beta/defeatbeta-api) : provides accurate financial data
2. [defeatbeta-mcp](https://github.com/defeat-beta/defeatbeta-api/tree/main/mcp) : lets Claude directly access that data
3. [defeatbeta-skills](https://github.com/defeat-beta/defeatbeta-api/tree/main/skills) : helps Claude better understand and analyze the data

For a step-by-step setup guide, these two links are all you need:
