Outcome: Working GenAI chatbot prototype

Project summary

In this simulation I completed two practical tasks: Data extraction and initial financial analysis, followed by development of an AI-powered financial chatbot designed to answer business questions from structured datasets and raw filings.

Business goals

  • Automate analysis of large financial document collections.
  • Extract key financial facts into structured machine-readable formats.
  • Build a conversational interface for non-technical business users.
  • Demonstrate how GenAI can accelerate research and reporting workflows.

Key outcomes

  • Delivered a functioning chatbot capable of answering structured financial questions.
  • Demonstrated end-to-end automation: ingestion → analysis → conversational output.
  • Showed how GenAI improves research speed and accessibility for business users.

What I learned

This project strengthened my experience integrating NLP with classical data pipelines and highlighted practical challenges in explaining complex financial data through conversational AI interfaces.
