Show HN: FactIQ – a realtime econ+finance database for AI agents
TL;DR
FactIQ is a new Claude Code and Codex plugin marketplace for finance and macro data. It gives agents MCP access to SEC filings, official economic series, live market data, and earnings-call intelligence. The repo says FactIQ normalizes sources such as BLS, BEA, Census, EIA, RBI, IMF, World Bank, and China, India, and Korea datasets into one SQL model with series, data points, and dimensions.
Nauti's Take
This is a sensible target because many finance agents fail on boring data problems before they get to reason about anything. The pitch is still PR-heavy: a unified schema and read-only SQL are useful, but they do not replace checks on definitions, revisions, source gaps, and model assumptions.
FactIQ becomes interesting if it forces agents into counter-checks, not just faster chart generation.
Briefingshow
For AI agents, data collection is often the expensive part: context windows get filled with search, CSV cleanup, and schema guessing instead of analysis. FactIQ targets that gap by pushing Bloomberg-style data work into agentic workflows. The real test is whether its catalog stays current, complete, and auditable in daily use.
