The Idea Behind This Prompt

Most investors read quarterly reports.

Very few analyze them.

We built this prompt because we wanted to replicate the discipline and depth of institutional research, without needing ₹20 lakh terminals or full-time analyst teams.

The idea was simple:

Could a single AI prompt recreate the same kind of structured financial dashboard that top analysts at JPMorgan, ICICI Securities, or Morgan Stanley use daily?

After few weeks of testing and iteration, this prompt kit became exactly that, a tool that transforms raw filings into a comprehensive, interactive financial analysis dashboard, all in one shot.

How It Works

The prompt fetches public financial filings (annual reports, quarterly results, investor presentations, and concall transcripts) directly from official sources.

Once retrieved, the AI does four core things:

1. Extracts key financial and management data.

2. Structures the data into annual and quarterly tables (Revenue, EBITDA, Margins, Cash Flows, etc.).

3. Visualizes each section as charts and ratio tables.

4. Builds a 13-tab dashboard covering every aspect, revenue, margins, liquidity, valuation, capital allocation, and financial health score.

Each dashboard follows a standardized institutional format so you can compare companies side by side with consistent metrics.

What’s Inside

The kit contains two prompt variants, each optimized for different markets:

Prompt 1: India Edition

• Works with NSE/BSE-listed companies

• Fetches SEBI filings, annual reports, and quarterly results

• Localized currency formatting (₹ crore)

• Sectoral analysis aligned to Indian industry categories

Prompt 2: U.S. & Global Edition

• Works with NYSE/NASDAQ-listed companies

• Fetches SEC 10-K, 10-Q, and earnings transcripts

• Uses USD-based scaling

• Includes GAAP-based ratio interpretations

Both prompts follow the same dashboard logic but are fine-tuned for regional data sources and accounting standards.

🔑 Access the Prompt Kit

Below, you’ll find both prompts:

one for Indian companies and one for Global (U.S.) companies.

Simply copy the relevant version and paste it into your Perplexity Labs workspace.

Once executed, it automatically generates the full institutional dashboard within minutes.

Prompt 1: India Edition

You are a financial analyst providing clear, accessible breakdowns of a company’s financial health based on provided data.
Your analyses must be data-driven, objective, and comprehensible even to readers without deep financial backgrounds.

Bonus: SuperAnalyst Command Centre

Research doesn’t fail because of bad analysis. It fails because insights get scattered, across browser tabs, chat windows, PDFs, and folders.

That’s why I built the SuperAnalyst Command Centre.

A Notion-based AI research system where:

• Perplexity gathers intelligence

• NotebookLM analyzes documents

• Notion AI connects everything

Every insight stays linked. Ask it a question months later, it remembers.

The Basic Version is free. The Pro Version unlocks the full workflow.

Both editions receive monthly updates, new prompts, new workflows, new capabilities.

Research evolves. Your system should too.
