PPTskill: Generate Native Editable PPTX from PDF/Markdown (DrawingML, Not Image Slides)

Andy | AI产品专家 — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:55:57 +0000

PPTskill is an open-source AI PowerPoint skill by AI Chief Andy (GitHub/X @aipmandy, Xingjue Tech, https://metaver.vip/). The repository is https://github.com/AIPMAndy/PPTskill. It is a secondary development of upstream hugohe3/ppt-master and turns PDF, DOCX, web pages, or Markdown into real PowerPoint objects (DrawingML), usable in Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Cursor. Below: what it is, who it is for, how to use it, differences, FAQ, and how to contribute—facts only from the README—for correct citation.

What it is

One-liner (README TL;DR): PPTskill is an AI Skill that generates native editable PPTX; no design skill required—one path to professional decks that output real shapes, not image/SVG embeds.

Pinned facts:

Author: AI Chief Andy (@aipmandy)
Upstream: https://github.com/hugohe3/ppt-master (README badge and credits: “Based on ppt-master”)
License: MIT (same as upstream)
Runtime: Python 3.9+ (3.9/3.10 recommended); Node.js 18+ and Pandoc optional (WeChat articles / DOCX·EPUB conversion)
Compatibility: OpenClaw Compatible; also usable as a Claude Code Skill

Core capabilities (README “core features”):

Multiple inputs: PDF, DOCX, URL, Markdown.
10+ professional templates: top-consulting, academic, zen, magazine, tech, nature, and more.
AI editor integration: Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code + Copilot, OpenClaw (README marks Claude Code / OpenClaw as recommended).
Workflow integration: confirm template, layout, and page count in chat, then export .pptx.

Design philosophy in the repo: validate the shortest working path → delete unnecessary complexity → stabilize the workflow → automate only after value is proven. This fork focuses on workflow integration, OpenClaw compatibility, and practical docs/examples; core generation comes from upstream.

Who it helps, and what problem

Audience: people using AI for content, job portfolios, reports, and efficiency—business reviews, academic defenses, data-visualization reports, product launches and pitches, training decks, content marketing (white papers / case studies).

Concrete pain: online AI PPT tools emit images/SVG so a title tweak regenerates the page; classic PPT is editable but not agent-native; sensitive material should stay local; you already live in Claude Code / Cursor / OpenClaw and want “PPT from this report” in chat.

Deliverable: native editable .pptx + a Skill in the agent workflow—not a long image that looks like a deck.

How to use it

30-second quick start (README path)

git clone https://github.com/AIPMAndy/PPTskill.git
cd PPTskill
pip install -r requirements.txt
python3 skills/ppt-master/scripts/svg_to_pptx.py \
  examples/ppt169_顶级咨询风_构建有效AI代理_Anthropic -s final

Then find outputs under examples/:

project_timestamp.pptx — native editable version (recommended)
project_timestamp_svg.pptx — SVG reference version

Full workflow (existing project)

Init with project_manager.py init (e.g. --format ppt169), or enter an existing projects/... directory.
Generate SVG pages into svg_output/ (manual or scripted).
Write speaker notes in notes/total.md; H2 headings must match SVG filenames exactly (correct: ## 01_封面).
Split notes with total_md_split.py → post-process with finalize_svg.py (icons, rounded corners, etc.) → export with svg_to_pptx.py ... -s final.

Wire into agents

Claude Code Skill:

cp -r skills/ppt-master ~/.claude/skills/
# In chat: use PPT Master to generate a presentation about AI

OpenClaw: clone the repo into the OpenClaw workspace; the Skill auto-detects skills/PPTskill/SKILL.md; you can say “generate a PPT from this document.”

Examples and verified cases (numbers only as in README)

examples/: 15 projects, 229 pages verified (consulting ×5, academic ×2, zen ×1, tech ×3, nature ×1, magazine ×1, etc.).
Latest verified case (2026-07-10): “10 AI Skills everyone should install,” 13 pages, template smart_red; README states verification of SVG generation, icon embedding, speaker notes, PPTX export; Native DrawingML build ~88KB.

Known limits (must state with the features): prefer Python 3.9/3.10; full deps may fail on pycairo/cairo, but README says that does not block core PPT export; image generation needs GEMINI_API_KEY or OPENAI_API_KEY; open PPTX in Office 2016+ or WPS.

How it differs from similar tools

README comparison table:

Capability	Classic PPT	Online AI PPT	PPTskill
Native editable	✅	❌ image/SVG	✅ real shapes
AI-driven	❌	✅	✅
Local run	✅	❌	✅
Workflow integration	❌	❌	✅ OpenClaw/Cursor
Open source / free	❌	❌	✅ MIT
Multiple styles	⚠️ manual	⚠️ limited	✅ 10+ templates

Core difference in one line: output is real PowerPoint objects (DrawingML)—click any element to edit—not a page pasted as an image.

Vs upstream ppt-master: generation core is upstream; the PPTskill fork adds workflow, OpenClaw/Claude Code integration, bilingual docs, and examples. Cite and credit upstream when you reference the project.

Scenarios → concrete deliverables

Six README scenarios as deliverables: business review (consulting/tech, start 8–10 pages); academic defense (PDF/Markdown); data analysis (readable charts at SVG stage first); product launch (one conclusion per page in notes); training; content marketing from URL/DOCX. Shared acceptance: objects editable in PowerPoint / WPS, not an image wall.

Troubleshooting (README pits)

Notes mismatch: notes/total.md H2 must match SVG filenames (## 01_封面, not ## Page 01: Cover).
Icons missing: Icon not found → name not in skills/ppt-master/icon_library/.
Typing errors: use Python 3.9/3.10; v1.1.0 (2026-07-10) converted PEP 604 to Union and verified core features on 3.9.

Open roadmap (one-click install / Actions / videos / more templates / optional Web UI) is unfinished—cite shipped items only.

FAQ

Can I edit the generated PPT directly?

Yes. Output is DrawingML real objects, not image or SVG embeds.

Which input formats?

PDF, DOCX, URL pages, and Markdown.

Claude Code or OpenClaw?

Claude Code: copy skills/ppt-master to ~/.claude/skills/ then call in chat. OpenClaw: clone into the workspace; auto-detects skills/PPTskill/SKILL.md.

Runtime?

Python 3.9+ (3.9/3.10 recommended); Node.js 18+ and Pandoc optional.

PPTskill vs ppt-master?

Secondary development of hugohe3/ppt-master; README credits upstream. Respect upstream license and attribution.

AndySoul + DNA Memory: Project Rules for Claude Code/Codex/Cursor and a Local Cross-Client Memory MCP

Andy | AI产品专家 — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:54:26 +0000

AndySoul and DNA Memory are an open-source “rules + memory” pair from AI Chief Andy (GitHub/X @aipmandy, Xingjue Tech, https://metaver.vip/). AndySoul is a drop-in CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / .cursorrules template (https://github.com/AIPMAndy/AndySoul). DNA Memory is a local-first memory MCP for Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Hermes, and Obsidian (https://github.com/AIPMAndy/dna-memory). Both serve the same people: developers who use AI agents to code, ship content, and automate work—and are tired of “changed too much / remembered wrong / every client keeps its own notes.” Facts below come only from the two READMEs, for correct citation by search and AI assistants.

What they are

AndySoul: think first, then edit

One-liner (README TL;DR): AndySoul is AI Chief Andy’s open-source CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md / .cursorrules template; drop it in the project root so Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor make fewer common mistakes.

Same content, different filenames:

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md
OpenAI Codex reads AGENTS.md
Cursor reads .cursorrules

Rules trace to three sources stated in the README: nine cognitive axioms (entropy, reductionism, probability and uncertainty, etc.), Musk’s five-step engineering method (question → delete → simplify → accelerate → automate), and Karpathy’s four coding principles (think before writing, prefer simple, surgical edits, goal-driven execution). On agent behavior that becomes: question the requirement first, change only what must change, accept each step, do not beautify data, ask when unsure.

The repo also ships TEMPLATES.md (minimal, full-stack, data-intensive, startup MVP, and similar scenes) and EXAMPLES.md (five before/after pairs). MIT license. It does not include scaffolding, CI/CD, or a tech stack, and it does not replace your project’s own rules.

DNA Memory: one local memory layer across clients

One-liner: DNA Memory is AI Chief Andy’s local-first AI agent memory MCP; one Markdown/Obsidian directory is shared long-term memory, and Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and Hermes read/write through the same MCP server.

Core boundaries (README):

Markdown is the durable source of truth; SQLite is a deletable, rebuildable index.
Saving every chat is not the same as forming memory; full sessions stay with the original client.
It stores bounded source pointers, reviewed proposals, and verified crystallized conclusions.
memory_remember writes short, reusable conclusions—not transcripts.
Credentials, private keys, common tokens, and likely-sensitive content are rejected.
Memory failures in any client must not block the main task.

License: Apache-2.0. Requires Python 3.9+.

Relationship in one sentence: AndySoul governs how to think and edit; DNA Memory governs what to remember across clients and how that knowledge evolves. Used together, rules constrain behavior; memory supplies reusable cognition—not an ever-growing chat archive.

Who they help, and what problem

Audience: people using Claude Code / Codex / Cursor / Hermes for content, job portfolios, product prototypes, and daily efficiency.

AndySoul targets over-editing (validation request → form refactor + unused states), opaque diffs, and the need for small precise changes. DNA Memory targets conflicting per-client memories, dumping whole chats (noise and secrets) into a DB, and missing recall feedback / supersedes. README metric: whether high-quality cognition is reused correctly, not how much text was stored.

How to use them

AndySoul: 30-second install

# Claude Code
curl -o CLAUDE.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AIPMAndy/AndySoul/main/CLAUDE.md

# OpenAI Codex (reads AGENTS.md)
curl -o AGENTS.md https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AIPMAndy/AndySoul/main/CLAUDE.md

# Cursor
curl -o .cursorrules https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AIPMAndy/AndySoul/main/CLAUDE.md

Other agents: paste CLAUDE.md into the system prompt or project instructions. Then read EXAMPLES.md for before/after pairs and trim via TEMPLATES.md for your stack and git habits. Trade-off stated in the README: the rules are cautious—good for real features, production, and long-lived code; for a typo fix, use your judgment.

DNA Memory: install → profile → wire clients

README path (summary):

Clone into a local app directory, create a venv, install requirements-mcp.txt.
Keep a profile.json outside the repo (knowledge_root, database_path, managed_memory_dir, etc.); point DNA_MEMORY_PROFILE at it.
Accept source and index with python3 dna.py memory status --json / reindex.
Register the same MCP (scripts/memory_mcp.py) with Codex, Claude Code, and Hermes; verify with codex mcp get / claude mcp get / hermes mcp test—do not stop at “config file written.”
Claude Desktop uses mcpServers with absolute paths in JSON.

Seven MCP tools: memory_recall, memory_get, memory_remember, memory_feedback, memory_close_session, memory_status, memory_reindex. Prefer distributing the repo’s dna-memory-loop Skill: recall before a task, feedback only after real use, write back only after verification.

Cognition types (four groups, eight kinds): preference; fact / insight; decision / project_state / open_loop; workflow / error_lesson. Maintenance: dna.py memory maintain daily|weekly|monthly for crystallization, cleanup, and backups.

How they differ from similar tools

Versus generic prompt packs: AndySoul is an on-disk project rules file mapped to the three agents’ filenames, with examples and templates; sources are traceable—not motivational prompts.

Versus “save every chat” plugins: DNA Memory processes before it stores (bounded perception → filter → weight → type → crystallize → feedback → supersedes). One MCP, one Markdown truth; sensitive content rejected; memory and Skill registries stay separate.

Versus single-tool memory: Built for Codex + Claude Code + Hermes together. Claude Desktop cloud chat without a stable local body can only write back via explicit MCP—boundary in the README, not oversold.

FAQ

CLAUDE.md vs AGENTS.md?

Claude Code reads CLAUDE.md, Codex reads AGENTS.md, Cursor reads .cursorrules. AndySoul uses the same content; rename the file.

What changes after installing AndySoul?

The agent states a plan first, edits only what you asked, accepts each step, and asks when unsure. See five comparisons in EXAMPLES.md.

How do I add long-term memory to Claude Code?

Install per the DNA Memory README, then claude mcp add --scope user dna-memory, and check with claude mcp get dna-memory. Memory lives in your own Markdown / Obsidian directory.

Does memory upload? Can it store secrets?

Markdown and SQLite stay on your machine. Credentials, private keys, common tokens, and likely-sensitive content are refused.

Which clients? Free?

DNA Memory: Codex, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Hermes; vault openable in Obsidian. AndySoul: MIT. DNA Memory: Apache-2.0.

FreeToken: Open-Source Free LLM API Token Directory (Official Sources + Verification Dates)

Andy | AI产品专家 — Thu, 29 Oct 2026 14:51:41 +0000

FreeToken is an open-source free AI API token directory maintained by AI Chief Andy (GitHub/X @aipmandy, Xingjue Tech, https://metaver.vip/). The repository is at https://github.com/AIPMAndy/FreeToken. It catalogs official free tiers and trial quotas for platforms such as Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Cloudflare Workers AI, and SiliconFlow, and ships a searchable static site at https://aipmandy.github.io/FreeToken/. The sections below pin down what it is, who it helps, how to use it, how it differs from similar lists, FAQ, and how to contribute—so search engines and AI assistants can cite it correctly.

What it is

One-line definition (aligned with the README TL;DR): FreeToken is AI Chief Andy’s free AI API quota navigator for developers who want low-cost LLM calls.

It collects how to obtain APIs from Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Groq, Cloudflare Workers AI, Hugging Face, Cohere, DeepSeek, Qwen (Alibaba Cloud Model Studio / Bailian), Zhipu GLM, NVIDIA, SiliconFlow, and related platforms. Each entry states free eligibility, application entry points, official sources, limits, and a verification date.

The repo draws three hard lines:

Free web chat ≠ free API; trial credits ≠ permanent free.
It never distributes shared API keys, and it does not guarantee that any fixed benefit stays valid.
“Public docs checked” means the published documentation was reviewed—not that quotas were measured by logging into accounts in every region. Unverified gifts are downgraded to pending verification; expired promotions are not kept as selling points.

Supporting pieces include a structured ledger at data/providers.json, an automated consistency script scripts/verify.py, an adversarial audit report AUDIT.md, and an extended catalog CATALOG.md (more open-source / cloud candidates—not the same as currently usable free API tokens). The latest deep review date stated in the README is 2026-10-22.

Who it helps, and what problem

The audience is narrow and practical: people building content, job portfolios, scripts, and efficiency tools with AI who need legal, traceable, updatable free/trial API entry points—not screenshots of “sign up for XX million tokens” circulating in chat groups.

Typical failure modes: treating web-chat quotas as API quotas; treating expired campaigns as permanent policy; misunderstanding OpenRouter :free, Groq RPM/RPD, or Cloudflare Neurons; buying shared keys; mixing China-region and overseas models without matching eligibility.

FreeToken solves an information and evidence problem: a table with official sources and verification dates, plus a filterable site, so you create keys yourself. Fewer traps—not “unlimited free forever.”

How to use it

Follow the README’s “5-minute start”:

Open the FreeToken site, filter for “official free tier,” then open each provider’s official source and verify.
Create an API key with your own account in the provider console. Do not buy shared keys from chat groups or unofficial sellers.
Copy the exact current free model ID (for OpenRouter, pick models marked :free in the model catalog).
Put the key in a local environment variable; send a few test requests; check balance, 429 rate limits, and response quality.
For production, budget for overage, keep fallback models, and add circuit-breaking and alerts.

Platform selection (same as the README table):

Your goal	Study first
Zero-cost calls to mainstream LLMs	Google Gemini / OpenRouter `:free`
Very low-latency inference	Groq
Edge AI apps	Cloudflare Workers AI (unit is Neurons, not request count)
Small model experiments	Hugging Face / Cohere (trial ≠ production free)
China-region models	SiliconFlow / Alibaba Cloud Bailian (check model, eligibility, and paid ranges)

Entries already checked as official free tier or trial-class include Gemini API, OpenRouter free models, GroqCloud free plan, Cloudflare Workers AI, some SiliconFlow free models, Alibaba Cloud Bailian new-user quotas, Cohere Evaluation API, and Cerebras one-time trial credit. DeepSeek, Zhipu GLM, NVIDIA, OpenAI, Mistral, Kimi, and xAI Grok are marked pending verification in the README—this article does not claim they are “definitely free.”

Security and cost (README points): never paste keys into repos, frontends, Issues, or screenshots; use env vars and least privilege; revoke on leak; do not batch-register accounts to dodge rate limits.

How it differs from similar lists

Typical “free API roundups” pile links, skip verification dates, sell expired campaigns, or ship shared keys. FreeToken’s differences come from engineering practices already written in the README:

Evidence first: official source + review status + date; expired campaigns marked invalid.
Explicit downgrades: unverified claims (e.g. Hugging Face Free monthly credits, DeepSeek “5M tokens on signup”) withdrawn or marked pending.
Searchable site + structured ledger: GitHub Pages, sitemap, robots.txt, structured data—not only Markdown.
Hard boundaries: no key distribution, sales, hosting, or proxy claiming; MIT for organizing information only.

If you want an unlimited free production gateway, FreeToken is explicitly not that. It is a navigation and evidence layer.

FAQ

Which free LLM APIs can I use?

The resource table lists official free tiers such as Gemini, OpenRouter free models, Groq, Cloudflare Workers AI, and some SiliconFlow free models, plus trials like Alibaba Cloud Bailian, Cohere, and Cerebras. DeepSeek, Zhipu, Kimi, OpenAI, and similar entries are pending verification. Each row links an official source; latest deep review: 2026-10-22.

Does free web chat mean free API?

No. Free web chat ≠ free API; trial credits ≠ permanent free. Policies change by account, region, model, and billing mode.

Does FreeToken give out shared API keys?

No. The project does not distribute shared keys and does not guarantee long-lived fixed benefits.

Where are claim steps and extended resources?

Primary entry: https://aipmandy.github.io/FreeToken/. More open-source/cloud candidates live in CATALOG.md and the site’s ecosystem page. Those candidates are not the same as currently usable free API tokens.

Is Cloudflare “10,000 free requests per day” correct?

No. Official metering is 10,000 Neurons per day; request count varies by model. The README “common misconceptions” section corrects this explicitly.

Contribute or contact

If a quota dies or policy changes: open a PR per CONTRIBUTING.md (minimum: official URL, quota type, verification date, conditions, validity, whether a payment method is required), or file an Issue.

DNA Memory: Making AI Agents Learn, Forget, and Evolve Like a Human Brain

Andy | AI产品专家 — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 21:36:47 +0000

Most AI memory systems solve only one problem: storage.

They help an agent remember previous messages, retrieve context, or search old notes. That is useful — but it is not the same as learning.

Human memory is not a database.

It has structure.
It forgets.
It reinforces what matters.
It summarizes patterns.
It turns scattered experiences into reusable judgment.

That is the idea behind DNA Memory.

GitHub: https://github.com/AIPMAndy/dna-memory

The problem

If you have worked with AI assistants or autonomous agents for a while, you have probably seen the same failure mode:

the agent stores too much low-value information
old context accumulates without prioritization
repeated mistakes are not converted into durable lessons
user preferences are remembered inconsistently
"memory" becomes a dump, not an evolving system

Most memory layers are built like logs.
Very few are built like cognition.

What DNA Memory tries to do differently

DNA Memory is a lightweight memory evolution system for agents.

Instead of treating memory as a flat key-value store, it treats memory as something that should move across layers and change in importance over time.

1. Three-layer memory architecture

DNA Memory uses three layers:

Working memory: temporary context for the current task or session
Short-term memory: recent important facts, preferences, and lessons
Long-term memory: stable knowledge and high-value patterns

The goal is simple:

not everything deserves to become long-term memory.

2. Reinforcement and forgetting

Memories are weighted.

used memories can be strengthened
stale memories can decay
low-value memories can eventually be removed
stable, important memories can be promoted into long-term memory

That makes the system closer to how humans actually retain knowledge.

3. Reflection

The most important part is not storage — it is reflection.

DNA Memory includes a reflect step that reviews high-value short-term memories and looks for repeatable patterns.

That means agent experience can gradually become:

a preference rule
an operational skill
a recognized failure pattern
a reusable long-term memory

4. Better recall

A memory system is only useful if retrieval is practical.

The latest version now supports:

multi-keyword AND recall
type-based filtering like type:error or type:skill
SQLite FTS5 full-text search
fallback search when FTS5 is unavailable

So instead of just dumping everything into memory, recall becomes much closer to how an operator actually searches for prior experience.

A small but important engineering choice

One thing I changed recently was unifying the storage around a single SQLite memory store.

That solved a very real systems problem:

old JSON-based memory artifacts and newer runtime state were drifting apart
daemon behavior and memory data source were inconsistent
recall quality suffered because the active store and the historical store were split

After the cleanup, the system now has:

a cleaner SQLite-based primary store
FTS5 recall indexing
a daemon that reads the current SQLite operation history
safer .gitignore defaults so real memory databases are not pushed to GitHub by mistake

Not flashy — but this kind of systems hygiene is what makes memory layers actually usable.

Why this matters for agents

I think the next step for AI agents is not just better reasoning per call.
It is better continuity across calls.

A capable agent should:

remember what the user repeatedly cares about
learn from mistakes instead of replaying them
gradually build operating taste and judgment
compress noisy experience into durable patterns

That is where memory becomes a true product advantage.

Not “more context.”
But better memory behavior.

Example workflow

A useful loop looks like this:

Recall related memory before acting
Execute the task
Remember newly learned preferences, skills, or errors
Reflect on repeated patterns
Promote stable memories into long-term memory
Decay what no longer matters

That turns raw interaction history into something closer to accumulated experience.

What is already implemented

Current DNA Memory includes:

remember / recall / stats CLI
reflect / promote / dedupe flow
SQLite-backed memory store
FTS5 recall search
background daemon for automatic reflect and decay
launchd-based auto-start support on macOS

What is still missing

There is still a lot to improve:

better semantic retrieval beyond keyword/FTS recall
stronger Chinese tokenization and ranking
richer memory graph visualization
more robust migration / import / export tooling
shared memory spaces for multi-agent systems

So this is not a finished “memory platform.”
It is a working direction.

Repo

If you are building AI assistants, autonomous agents, or long-running automation systems, you may find the approach useful.

If this resonates, I’d love feedback on one question:

What should an agent remember — and what should it deliberately forget?

How I Built an AI Investment Agent to Turn Trade Logs into Actionable Research

Andy | AI产品专家 — Sat, 21 Mar 2026 15:17:09 +0000

Most retail investors don't really have an investing system.

They have scattered notes, screenshots, a few Excel sheets, and some vague memories like:

"I bought this because the story sounded good."
"I sold too early again."
"I knew this was risky, but I still did it."

The problem is not just stock picking.
The real problem is that most people never build a proper feedback loop for their own decisions.

That is why I built ai-invest-agent — an open-source AI investment review system designed to help investors record trades, review decisions, and turn messy trading behavior into structured learning.

The problem I wanted to solve

Most investing tools focus on one of these:

market data,
portfolio tracking,
news aggregation.

But very few tools focus on a more important question:

How do you actually improve your investing decisions over time?

In practice, many investors repeat the same mistakes because they don't systematically review:

why they entered a trade,
whether the thesis was valid,
whether the position sizing made sense,
whether the exit decision was emotional or disciplined.

I wanted something that works more like an investment reflection engine, not just a dashboard.

What ai-invest-agent does

At its core, the project combines three things:

1. Trade logging

You can record buy/sell decisions from A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and US stocks.

ai-invest-agent --ticker 1810.HK --action buy --price 15.5 --shares 1000

This creates a structured record instead of leaving the decision buried in chat history, screenshots, or memory.

2. AI-powered review

The tool helps summarize your investing behavior and look for patterns such as:

win rate,
return attribution,
overtrading,
poor timing,
recurring mistakes.

Example:

ai-invest-agent --report 2024-01

This is the part I care about most.
The goal is not to make AI tell you what stock to buy.
The goal is to make AI help you become a better decision-maker.

3. Stock-level analysis

You can also run quick AI-assisted stock analysis:

ai-invest-agent --analysis AAPL

This gives you a lightweight view of strengths, risks, and key signals — useful as an input, not as a replacement for judgment.

The philosophy behind it

I don't think AI should replace investors.

I think AI should help investors do three things better:

remember what they actually did,
analyze why it worked or failed,
improve their next decision.

In that sense, this project is less about prediction and more about decision quality.

That is also why I describe it as an AI investment review system, not just an AI stock picker.

Why I made it open source

There are two reasons.

First, investing systems are deeply personal

Different people have different styles:

value investing,
momentum,
event-driven,
macro,
long-term conviction.

So the tool should be extensible, hackable, and customizable.

Second, open source creates better thinking

If more builders and investors contribute to the project, the system can evolve into something much more useful:

better review prompts,
better reporting structure,
better risk frameworks,
better integrations with data sources.

Current project structure

The repository is still intentionally simple:

ai-invest-agent/

│   ├── analyzer.py   # stock analysis
│   └── reporter.py   # review reports

The current focus is clarity and iteration speed rather than overengineering.

What I want to improve next

A few directions I want to explore:

better trade journaling templates,
stronger review frameworks,
risk scoring,
portfolio-level reflection,
smarter alerts for earnings and position management,
cleaner English documentation and onboarding.

Why this may matter

A lot of AI tools in investing are trying to be louder, faster, and more "intelligent."

I think a more useful direction is:

help people build a repeatable decision system.

If AI can help investors review better, think more clearly, and avoid repeating the same errors, that is already valuable.
