I got tired of piecing together my portfolio every morning so I built a small “agent” pipeline instead (Upstox + NSE + news + digest)
I trade/invest on the Indian market and use a broker app daily. The annoying part wasn’t placing orders but it was staying on top of context: what moved overnight, whether there was real news vs random chart posts, FII/DII flow, corporate filings, and whether anything outside my watchlist was worth a look. I was opening five tabs, losing half an hour, and still missing things.
So I automated the boring layer: a Python job pulls holdings (when my token is fully authorized), a watchlist I save in a tiny web UI, NSE-style data, FII/DII aggregates, and headlines (with filters so I don’t get TradingView-style chart spam masquerading as news). Two “agents” run in sequence — one does per-symbol summaries and alerts, the other runs a scanner for ideas outside my book — then everything lands in one plain-text digest on a schedule (IST) or on demand.
It’s not financial advice and it doesn’t trade; it’s just a consistent briefing so I start the session informed instead of frazzled.
