AI-Driven Financial Advisory Platform on the Cloud (by -visheshn7wu) Team Members: Vishesh pratap singh (visheshn7wu) (OK, so i tried finding a team but no one got ready because they were lack in confidence as they thought it will be tough) Abstract:The AI-Driven Financial Advisory Platform is a cloud-based solution offering personalized investment advice using artificial intelligence and machine learning. The platform supports both investors and financial advisors, enabling users to manage portfolios and receive real-time recommendations based on market data. It processes financial information, such as stock prices, to generate tailored advice on whether to buy, sell, or hold assets. The backend is developed in Python, using Flask to create APIs that serve user requests. An AI-powered recommendation engine analyzes portfolios and market trends to provide strategic insights. Cloud integration via AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure ensures scalability, reliability, and real-time processing for multiple users. The platform aims to simplify financial decision-making by offering automated, data-driven investment recommendations. With features like user management, AI/ML-based advisory, and cloud deployment, the solution is designed to support individual investors, financial advisors, and investment firms in optimizing their financial strategies and providing value-added services to clients. Problem the project aims to solve: The project aims to solve the problem of limited access to personalized, data-driven financial advice by using AI and machine learning to provide affordable, real-time investment recommendations, making expert-level financial guidance accessible to a wider audience. The solution, including key features and functionalities:The solution is a cloud-based AI-driven financial advisory platform that provides personalized, real-time investment recommendations. It leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to analyze user portfolios and financial market data, offering tailored advice on asset management. Key Features and Functionalities:
- User Management: ○ Supports different user roles, including investors and financial advisors. ○ Allows investors to create and manage their portfolios while advisors provide expert insights.
- AI-Powered Recommendation Engine: ○ Uses machine learning models to analyze user portfolios and market trends. ○ Offers customized advice such as "buy," "sell," or "hold" for stocks and other assets. ○ Continuously improves through learning from data and user behavior.
- Real-Time Financial Data Processing: ○ Integrates with external APIs (e.g., Alpha Vantage, Yahoo Finance) to fetch live market data. ○ Processes data to generate relevant investment insights and market trend analysis.
- Cloud Deployment: ○ Hosted on cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure for scalability, real-time access, and high availability. ○ Ensures the platform can handle multiple users and process requests efficiently. This solution democratizes financial advisory services, providing affordable and accessible AI-driven investment recommendations for users of all experience levels. how Vultr’s cloud services will be used in the project.Vultr's cloud services will play a key role in deploying, scaling, and maintaining the AI-driven financial advisory platform. Here's how different aspects of Vultr’s cloud infrastructure can be utilized:
- Compute Instances (Virtual Private Servers - VPS): ● Deployment: The backend of the platform, built using Python (Flask), will be hosted on Vultr's compute instances. These instances provide scalable virtual machines (VMs) that handle the application logic, process requests, and run the AI recommendation engine. ● Scaling: Vultr allows easy scaling of compute resources, enabling the platform to accommodate an increasing number of users without compromising performance.
- Block Storage: ● Data Storage: Financial data, user information, and portfolio details can be stored using Vultr’s Block Storage. This will ensure fast access to the data required for AI-driven recommendations and portfolio management. ● Backups: Vultr’s automated snapshots feature can be used to create backups of data, ensuring reliability and disaster recovery.
- Object Storage: ● Data Archiving: For logs, user documents, or large historical datasets (e.g., market data), Vultr’s Object Storage can be used to store and retrieve data securely and cost-effectively. ● APIs: The storage is accessible via APIs, allowing seamless integration with the platform's backend for fetching and processing market data or user portfolios.
- Networking and Security: ● Firewalls: Vultr offers cloud firewalls to protect the platform from cyber threats, ensuring secure communication between users and the backend. ● Private Networking: Enables secure internal communication between different services (compute instances, databases) without exposing them to the public internet.
- Kubernetes Engine (VKE): ● Containerized Deployment: If the platform is containerized (e.g., using Docker), Vultr’s Kubernetes Engine can manage and scale containerized microservices, allowing the application to run more efficiently with isolated components for the AI engine, API, and data processing.
- Cloud Integration: ● Vultr's API can be used to automate server provisioning, resource scaling, and backups, simplifying platform management and improving operational efficiency. Summary: Vultr’s cloud services will host the platform, provide scalable compute and storage resources, ensure security, and enhance performance through load balancing and global networking. This setup enables the AI-driven financial advisory platform to offer reliable, real-time recommendations with the flexibility to grow as the user base expands. The team aims to achieve with this project:
- Enhanced Accessibility to Financial Advice
- Personalized Investment Strategies
- Integration of AI and Machine Learning
- Scalability and Reliability
- User-Friendly Interface
