dexter: An autonomous agent for deep financial research that plans, executes, and validates multi-step analysis.
What problem it solves
Complex financial questions require researchers to break them into manageable tasks, gather current market information, and evaluate the resulting analysis. The project addresses this by automating research planning, tool-driven data collection, and iterative self-validation.
Key features
Intelligent task planning — Complex queries are automatically decomposed into structured research steps before execution.
Source: README
Autonomous tool execution — The agent selects and executes tools to gather the financial data required by each research task.
Source: README
Self-validation and refinement — The agent checks its work, iterates on incomplete tasks, and refines results during the research process.
Source: README
Real-time financial data — Research can access income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements through live market data.
Source: README
Execution safeguards and inspection — Loop detection and step limits guard against runaway execution, while scratchpad files record tool calls, results, and reasoning for inspection.

Quick start
Copied verbatim from the project's README.
git clone https://github.com/virattt/dexter.git
cd dexterbun installbun startWho it may suit
This project may suit developers and financial researchers who want to explore autonomous, multi-step financial research workflows. It is also intended for educational, entertainment, and informational use rather than real trading or investment.
Topics to discuss
How can financial research tasks be decomposed into reliable agent workflows?
Which self-validation techniques are most effective for financial data analysis?
How should agent research histories be evaluated for correctness and completeness?
