Daily Stock Analysis is an open-source system that uses LLMs to generate comprehensive stock decision dashboards and deliver them to your messaging app of choice — automatically, every day at 6 PM Beijing time, with zero server infrastructure required. The entire system runs on GitHub Actions, triggered by a cron job from your own fork. Each daily run aggregates technical analysis, real-time price data, chip distribution, news sentiment, capital flow tracking, and fundamental data across A-shares, Hong Kong, and US markets. The output is a "decision dashboard" — a structured report with conclusions, risk alerts, buy/sell levels, and an action checklist — pushed via webhook to WeChat Work, Feishu, Telegram, Discord, Slack, or email. The project supports a wide range of LLM backends (DeepSeek, Qwen, Gemini, Claude, OpenAI-compatible APIs, local Ollama) and data sources (Tushare, AkShare, TickFlow). With 32,000+ GitHub stars and climbing, it's clearly scratching an itch for retail investors who want institutional-grade analysis without paying for Bloomberg.

Reviewer scorecard
“Using GitHub Actions as a cron-based LLM pipeline is genuinely clever — no server, no containers, no maintenance. Fork, add secrets, enable Actions, done. The multi-LLM backend support means you can run the whole thing on DeepSeek for almost nothing.”
“The standard for bank account connectivity. Plaid Link drop-in UI handles the complexity of bank auth.”
“LLMs hallucinate stock data. Without rigorous validation against ground truth prices and alerts, 'AI-generated buy/sell levels' are at best noise and at worst a way to lose money with extra steps. Use this for learning, not trading.”
“Expensive per connection but there's no real alternative at the same scale and reliability. Network effects matter here.”
“Democratizing systematic multi-market analysis that previously required either a quant team or a Bloomberg terminal is a big deal. The GitHub Actions architecture is a template for a whole class of personal AI automation.”
“Open banking regulations will make financial data more accessible, but Plaid's aggregation and normalization remain valuable.”
“The notification to Telegram or Feishu is a nice touch — your daily market brief lands in the same app as your messages. It's the kind of ambient intelligence that makes you feel like you have a well-informed analyst on call.”
