What is Dexter?
Dexter is an autonomous financial research agent designed to handle complex financial problems. The tool breaks down complex queries into clear, step-by-step research plans and analyzes real-time market data. Dexter uses a multi-agent architecture, including a planning agent (decomposes tasks), an execution agent (acquires data), a verification agent (checks results), and an answering agent (integrates answers). Dexter supports intelligent task planning, autonomous execution, and self-verification, with built-in security mechanisms to prevent infinite loops. Dexter provides data-driven answers and continuously learns and optimizes, making it a powerful tool for financial research.
