In this session of Zero to Agent in 30 Minutes, Jayeeta Putatunda, forward-deployed AI engineering lead at Turing, builds a four-agent workflow that turns a daily flood of financial news into a focused analyst briefing, helping analysts find what actually deserves their attention without manually sifting through every headline. A coverage planner breaks the research question into sections, a news researcher agent searches multiple sources in parallel, and a validation agent checks each link's date and status, removes duplicate stories, and filters out paywalled content. A briefing writer agent then assembles the results into an executive summary, key takeaways, and a section-by-section breakdown of what each development means.

Watch as Jayeeta runs the full workflow live using open source models, so viewers can reproduce it without an API key, then walks through the resulting briefing, covering major index moves and the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole meeting. She also shows a feedback agent that saves formatting and terminology preferences to memory, so later briefings apply them automatically.
