This is a DataCamp course: <h2>Harness AI for Finance</h2>
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how finance professionals analyze data, prepare reports, and communicate insights. Instead of spending hours combing through spreadsheets and lengthy filings, you can now generate first-draft analyses, extract key messages, and identify trends in minutes. This course gives you the practical skills to make AI a trusted partner in your finance work.<br><br>
<h2>Master Prompting Fundamentals</h2>
The journey begins with prompting techniques tailored for finance. You'll learn how to design prompts that consistently deliver accurate and relevant results, distinguish between augmentation and automation, and understand the risks and limitations of using AI in professional contexts. Early exercises help you practice classifying tools, identifying risks, and drafting simple prompts that enhance everyday financial tasks.<br><br>
<h2>Apply AI to Financial Analysis and Research</h2>
Once you understand the basics, you'll explore how to use AI to combine structured data with narrative insights. Practice analyzing earnings call transcripts, running tone analysis, and integrating commentary with stock data to create investment notes or executive summaries. From there, the focus shifts to research skills—breaking down macroeconomic trends, comparing company filings, and keeping up with regulatory changes—to turn AI into a powerful research assistant.<br><br>
<h2>Achieve AI Confidence in Finance</h2>
By the end of this course, you'll be able to design reusable prompts, analyze and summarize financial documents, and build simple workflows.
