Alpha-Pulse: Intelligent SEC 8-K Parser for Financial Modeling

Alpha-Pulse is an LLM-powered agent system that automatically connects to the SEC EDGAR database, extracts and parses 8-K filings, and returns structured, context-aware outputs designed for seamless integration into financial models and investment analysis workflows.

---

Overview

Manually parsing SEC filings is time-consuming and error-prone. Alpha-Pulse automates this process using Large Language Models (LLMs) that understand the nuances of financial disclosures. Given any publicly traded company, the agent fetches the latest 8-K filing, interprets the content using domain-specific reasoning, and structures the output for downstream processing.

Key Features

• Automatic EDGAR Integration: Fetches the latest 8-K filings using EDGAR's API or RSS feeds.
• LLM-Powered Understanding: Uses custom LLM agents trained for financial disclosure analysis.
• Structured Output: Parses item numbers, materiality, sentiment, and expectations into JSON for easy integration.
• Model-Ready Data: Designed for use in financial models, dashboards, or automated alert systems.
• Multi-Company Context: Identifies and includes related companies referenced in the filing.
