what AI can build

Fetch end-of-day prices, SEC filings, and selected RSS news for a watchlist, score each stock with transparent rules, and notify the owner when a price or earnings condition changes.

A personal stock-research cockpit is very buildable, but StocksBrew's useful current calls depend on continuously maintained market, filings, news, and alert pipelines. A DIY version can make its evidence and rules explicit; it will not inherit the service's coverage, refresh reliability, or editorial judgment.

the prompt

Curated prompt
Build me a personal US-stock research cockpit to replace StocksBrew. Requirements:

- Node 22 + Express + better-sqlite3 + node-cron, server-rendered pages on
  localhost:8090, no frontend framework.
- watchlist.json holds my tickers; npm run refresh and a daily 7am cron pull
  end-of-day prices from Alpha Vantage (key in .env), filings from SEC EDGAR
  (no key needed), and items from a curated RSS list in sources.json.
- Score each stock with transparent rules in one rules.js file (price vs 50/200-day
  average, new 10-K/10-Q/8-K filings, earnings-date proximity) and show an
  add/hold/trim stance with the exact rule hits that produced it.
- Every summary line cites the filing or article URL and its timestamp; nothing
  uncited, nothing invented.
- Alerts: per-ticker price threshold and earnings-date reminder, sent by email over
  SMTP creds in .env.
- Rate-limit and cache all external calls (Alpha Vantage's free tier is 25
  requests/day, plan the refresh around it), dedupe news items, and mark stale
  data visibly.
- Dashboard: one watchlist table with price, stance, last-filing link, and next
  earnings date; one detail page per ticker with score history.
- SQLite tables: tickers, price_snapshots, filings, news_items, scores, alerts.
  One file I can back up by copying it.
- No accounts, no telemetry, everything local except the documented API calls.
- Out of scope: intraday data, brokerage connections, trading, and editorial stock
  calls. Put a clear not-investment-advice notice in the README along with setup,
  API limits, and the cron line.

questions

Can AI replace StocksBrew?

Possibly for a narrower core workflow, but this catalog judgment is not a verified build. Expected gaps include: maintained stock coverage and editorial calls, intraday data quality and provider reliability. Validate the prompt against your own acceptance criteria before committing.

How much does StocksBrew cost?

StocksBrew is listed at about $9/month (Pro, checked 2026-08-02), or $108 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing StocksBrew?

Honestly: maintained stock coverage and editorial calls; intraday data quality and provider reliability; managed earnings and price alert delivery; the product's target-price methodology; AI-agent API access. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to StocksBrew?

Yes — OpenBB Platform (Open-source financial research platform with market-data integrations.). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
