I've started doing stock research this way. We will see if it pans out.
What I've had success with in the last 4 months (not heavily using AI) is looking at "over sold" industries. UPS, TGT, NVO, LULU, and a bunch of others were trading at pretty historically low p/e values of 10-14. I went through their earnings with AI to understand why they had been devalued. The risk on a lot of these were downsides of maybe 10% at most unless something catastrophic happened. They were also defensive in nature.
In the last few weeks I rotated out of a few of the retail names after 30% gains into a different "over sold" industry being SaaS. Currently up 10-15% on a few of the positions and looking to complete a few more rotations into the sector. I think the SaaS AI fear is extremely overstated. Anyone in software knows how long it takes corporations to adjust policies and adapt to change. 90% of my friends in software still don't develop using claude, cline or AI. I try to get them to do it but they won't do it. By the time competitors enter the space they will get bought out by companies printing billions of dollars a quarter or they will adapt.
My fear and thesis is that I don't want to chase the AI investment thesis. One bad earnings or slowdown signaled by any of these tech giants or trade wars is going to cause the AI investments to correct incredibly quickly. There is room to grow on the AI front, I have no doubts on that. The risk however is 20-30% drops which I don't want to take. I have a lot of money in broad index funds in my retirement accounts so the other money I invest, I don't want to be heavily weighted in AI.
If an opportunity presents itself, I will enter the AI space because I believe it is the future, however I'm not going to jump into 40 - 80 p/e growth companies that can drop 20% due to "meeting expectations" or some random tweet.
I've been using AI for about a week to dig through the metals/industrials sector to better understand it and the affects of the Trump administrations policies. I've slowly identified a few possible investments, but unsurprisingly a lot of the companies are already priced in. I think what it's really taught me though, is how informed and intelligent institutional investors are. A lot of these moves/rotations happen over 2-6 months. You have early adoption phase, which is speculative based on the early policy drafts, and then increased adoption as company earnings roll in confirming how an industry plays out and the adjustment happens pretty quickly from their.
