Hydrograph Agent Analysis Example
$HG has sparked the imagination of speculative investors and innovators lately. This is a working use case of the AI Agent deployment I have been working on lately.
First disclaimer is, this is an AI research experiment. This was version 1. You should consider the investment of my time of this particular topic to be 15 minutes or so. I have spent a few hours getting familiar with the story prior to this experiment. All the agents are roughly “out of the box form”. The agents need plenty of development and I plan to do that. I do not currently own this stock. DYODD.
