HOW IT WORKS

01

EDGAR INGESTION

SEC EDGAR is polled every 60 seconds for new 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, S-1, and Form 4 filings. All public domain — no licensing required.

02

AI SUMMARIZATION

Each filing is processed by Claude Haiku to produce a factual headline, 2-sentence summary, ticker tags, category classification, and sentiment score (-1.0 to +1.0).

03

YOUR APP

Query the REST API or subscribe to the WebSocket stream. Filter by ticker, category, or sentiment. Power your trading bot, dashboard, or alert system.
