Agents

Create durable AI agents that automate investment research tasks on a schedule or on-demand

Open in App

Overview

AIIME Agents are durable, autonomous AI workflows that run investment research tasks on your behalf — either on a schedule or on-demand. Each agent combines natural-language instructions with the platform's full suite of 80+ financial data tools to execute multi-step research processes without manual intervention. Agents are powered by Temporal for reliable, fault-tolerant execution, so even long-running tasks complete successfully.

Core Concepts

ConceptDescription
AgentA saved configuration with a title, instructions, selected tools, trigger type, and notification preferences
RunA single execution of an agent — records output, steps taken, tools called, duration, and status
MemoryA persistent scratchpad unique to each agent — the agent can read and write to this across runs to build context over time
ToolAny of the 80+ data tools available on the platform (FMP, Neptune rankings, technical analysis, options flow, web search, etc.)
TriggerHow the agent starts: manually (on-demand) or on a cron schedule

Creating an Agent

Navigate to AIIME Agents from the sidebar and click “New Agent.” Fill in the following fields:

  • Title — a short name to identify the agent (e.g., "Morning Market Brief" or "Weekly Sector Rotation Scan")
  • Instructions — natural-language directions telling the agent what to do. Use the / key to auto-suggest tools inline. Be specific: describe the analysis, output format, and any tickers or criteria.
  • Tools — select the data tools the agent can use. Tools are grouped by category (Market Data, Technical Analysis, Fundamentals, etc.). You can also let the / shortcut auto-select tools from your instructions.
  • Trigger Type — choose Manual (run on-demand) or Scheduled. Scheduled agents use cron expressions with built-in presets like "Every weekday at market open" or "Every Monday at 8 AM ET."
  • Notifications — choose whether to be notified on success, failure, or both. Notifications can be sent via email, AIIME chat, or both.

Tip

Write instructions as if briefing a research analyst. For example: “Every morning, pull the top 10 stocks by composite score, check their RSI and MACD signals, flag any that are overbought, and summarize the findings with bull/bear thesis for each.”

Trigger Types

TriggerWhen It RunsBest For
ManualWhen you click "Run Now" on the agent cardAd-hoc research, testing new instructions, one-off deep dives
ScheduledAutomatically at the configured cron timeDaily market briefs, weekly scans, recurring reports

Schedule Presets

  • Every weekday at 8 AM ET — morning prep before market open
  • Every weekday at market open (9:30 AM ET) — real-time open analysis
  • Every weekday at market close (4 PM ET) — end-of-day summary
  • Every Monday at 8 AM ET — weekly kickoff scan
  • Every hour during market hours — intraday monitoring
  • Daily at 7 AM ET — early morning brief including pre-market data

Note

You can also enter a custom cron expression for any schedule not covered by the presets. All schedules use Eastern Time (America/New_York) by default.

Agent Memory

Each agent has its own persistent memory — a scratchpad that carries context between runs. The agent can read its memory at the start of each run and write updates at the end. This allows agents to track evolving situations, build watch lists over time, or refine their analysis across multiple executions.

  • Memory is stored per-agent and persists across all runs
  • The agent automatically reads its memory at the start of each execution
  • To write to memory, the agent outputs a ```memory block in its response
  • You can also manually view and edit an agent's memory from the Memory tab on its detail page
  • Memory is versioned so you can track changes over time

Tip

Include a line in your instructions like “Update your memory with any new findings or changes to your watch list” to encourage the agent to maintain useful state.

Run History & Auditability

Every agent run is recorded with full auditability. Click an agent to see its run history, then drill into any run for step-by-step details.

FieldWhat It Shows
StatusWhether the run completed successfully, failed, is running, or was cancelled
DurationTotal wall-clock time for the run
OutputThe full text output produced by the agent
SummaryA brief auto-generated summary of findings
StepsEvery tool call made, reasoning step, and memory write — with inputs, outputs, and timing for each
ErrorIf the run failed, the error message explaining what went wrong

Notifications

Agents can notify you when they finish a run. Configure notifications when creating or editing an agent:

ChannelHow It Works
EmailSends the agent output as a formatted email to your account email address
AIIME ChatDelivers the agent output as a new message in a dedicated AIIME chat session
BothSends via both email and AIIME chat simultaneously

Note

You can also use the Agent Selector icon in the AIIME chat input to surface any agent's latest output directly in your conversation.

How to Use

  • Navigate to AIIME Agents from the sidebar
  • Click "New Agent" to create your first agent
  • Write clear instructions describing the research task
  • Select the tools your agent will need (or use / in instructions to auto-select)
  • Choose manual or scheduled trigger and set a cron schedule if needed
  • Configure notification preferences
  • Save the agent and click "Run Now" to test it immediately
  • Review the run output and steps to verify the agent works as expected
  • Adjust instructions, tools, or memory as needed and re-run
  • Once satisfied, set the trigger to scheduled for automated execution

  • Use agent memory to build evolving watch lists that feed into your Screener analysis
  • Reference ALEEP Signals in your agent instructions for systematic signal confirmation
