🚩 Problem: Need to automate stock report creation from multiple sources into a modular, cross-platform PDF.
📦 Existing: [Stack], [APIs], [Web Scraping], [Excel Sheets]

Specifications:

[Stack] Python (Pandas, Matplotlib, ReportLab)
[Method] Automated Data Collection and Reporting

Workflow:

1. Define data sources: APIs, web scraping URLs, Excel files.
2. Develop a script for real-time data fetching using Python libraries like Pandas and requests.
3. Implement web scraping for news headlines from selected financial sites using BeautifulSoup or Scrapy.
4. Integrate an AI summarizer (e.g., GPT-3) to condense scraped news, keeping it editable in the final file.
5. Create modular PDF generation with ReportLab, allowing sections like price data and technical indicators to be toggled on/off.
6. Develop a lightweight toolchain for running the entire process: fetch data -> build charts -> compile PDF.
7. Ensure clean, well-commented code for easy extension or source swapping.
8. Provide clear instructions for adding new data feeds or changing chart parameters.
