Observed format: Single static "listicle" image: bold number-driven hook headline, a tight list of named tools each with one credibility stat plus "replaces X," a "the part nobody's talking about" reframe, then a comment-keyword CTA.

Observed hook: "10 GitHub repos kill $50 billion in corporate revenue. All open source. All free. All with millions of real users." (CTA mechanic: "Comment STACK and we'll DM you the full setup guide.")

Adaptation: Kept the winning skeleton: number-driven hook, named items each with one concrete function, the "the part nobody says" reframe, and a comment-keyword + follow CTA. Changed everything else. Topic moved from generic open-source SaaS replacements to AI tools mapped to real analyst workflows (EDGAR, local LLM, Whisper transcription, comps in a sheet, backlinked notes, diff tool, IR scraper). Swapped the source's revenue-kill / anti-big-tech angle for a WSP-appropriate framing: free tools that handle work people pay junior analysts for, with the explicit anti-hype twist that they accelerate grunt work but do not replace reading the 10-K or making the judgment call. Replaced keyword STACK with WORKFLOW. Added required educational-only disclaimer (no tickers, no buy/sell/hold, no targets). No source text, stats, tool names, or visuals reused.

Slides

One idea per slide

Slide 1

7 FREE AI TOOLS THAT DO REAL ANALYST WORK. No expensive terminal. No subscription. Just the workflow. (swipe)

Slide 2

1. SEC EDGAR full-text search. Free, official, complete. Pull any 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K straight from the source. This replaces paying for a filings database you barely use.

Slide 3

2. A local LLM (open weights). Summarize a 200-page 10-K risk section without sending data to a vendor. Private, auditable, runs on your machine.

Slide 4

3. Open transcription (Whisper-class). Turn a 60-minute earnings call into searchable text in minutes, then grep for guidance, margin, demand. Free.

Slide 5

4. A spreadsheet plus open data APIs. Build your own comps table from filed financials. No black box, every cell traces back to a filing.

Slide 6

5. A note tool with backlinks. Track thesis, disconfirming evidence and what would change your mind. The judgment lives here, not in the model.

Slide 7

6. A diff tool. Compare this quarter's risk factors to last quarter's. Quietly changed language is often the real signal.

Slide 8

7. A simple scraper for IR pages. Watch for new filings and press releases automatically instead of refreshing tabs.

Slide 9

THE PART NOBODY SAYS: these do not replace the analysis. They kill the copy-paste so your time goes to judgment. The 10-K still gets read. Educational only, no buy/sell/hold.

Slide 10

Comment WORKFLOW and we will DM you the full checklist with prompts and where each tool fits in an earnings-season routine. Follow for finance-grounded AI, not hype.

7 free tools that handle work people still pay junior analysts to do. No terminal seat. No subscription.

Most "AI for investing" content sells you a black box that spits out a price. That is not analysis. Here is the boring version that actually maps to how the work gets done.

The reframe nobody mentions: these are not shortcuts around the work. They speed up the grunt parts of the work so you spend your time on judgment instead of copy-paste. The 10-K still has to be read. The numbers still have to tie out.

This is educational only. No tickers, no buy/sell/hold, no targets. Just the workflow.

Layout

10-slide carousel, 1080x1350. Slide 1 is the cover: huge stacked headline (Montserrat ExtraBold, all caps) on near-black with the green accent on "7 FREE" and the parenthetical sub-line in muted gray, plus a small "swipe" chevron bottom-right. Slides 2 to 8 each follow one template: large green numeral top-left, tool name in bold white, one-line "what it does" in regular weight, and a short green "replaces / no vendor" tag at the bottom. Slide 9 is the reframe slide: "THE PART NOBODY SAYS" as a green kicker, statement in large white, disclaimer line in small gray. Slide 10 is the CTA: the keyword WORKFLOW boxed in green, follow line below. Consistent left-aligned text, generous margins, thin green underline rule separating headline from body on each slide.

Design notes

WSP palette: near-black background (#0B0F0E / #0E1311), off-white text (#F4F6F5), single green accent (#19E27A-ish) used only for numerals, the keyword box, kickers and one or two emphasized words. Typography: Montserrat ExtraBold for headlines and numerals, Montserrat Medium/Regular for body. No gradients, no stock photos, no emojis, no em dashes. High contrast, lots of negative space, one accent color only so it reads as a clean system across all 10 frames. Footer watermark "Wall Street Prompt" small and low-contrast bottom-left on each slide. Numerals oversized to carry the listicle rhythm.

Why this works

The source works because of a number-anchored listicle ("10 repos... $50B"), per-item proof stats, a "the part nobody's talking about" reframe that flips the items from cheap-alternatives to genuinely-better, and a low-friction comment-keyword CTA that farms comments and seeds DMs. That structure travels perfectly to a finance/AI audience: investors love concrete tool lists, the reframe lets WSP add risk-aware nuance (tools speed grunt work, they do not replace judgment), and the keyword CTA drives the same engagement loop. I moved it to a carousel because each "tool + what it does + what it replaces" beat earns its own frame, which raises swipe-through and time-on-post versus cramming seven items onto one static.

CTA

Comment-keyword mechanic adapted from the source's "Comment STACK": ask viewers to comment WORKFLOW to receive a DM with the full 7-tool checklist, prompts, and earnings-season placement. Pairs with a soft "Follow for finance-grounded AI, not hype" follow ask.
