Example prompts

Once installed, Claude can answer things like:

"What's the news sentiment on NVDA right now?" → Calls get_sentiment("NVDA"), returns aggregated score + the 3 articles driving it.

"Compare English vs Chinese sentiment on TSMC — is there divergence?" → Calls compare_languages("TSM"), returns side-by-side plus divergence score. If |divergence| > 0.3, that's a notable cross-market signal.

"Sentiment on my watchlist: NVDA, AMD, AVGO, TSM, ASML, INTC, MU." → Calls get_sentiment_batch(["NVDA","AMD",...]), returns all at once.

"Why is NVDA down today? Pull sentiment + latest articles." → Calls get_sentiment("NVDA") and Claude summarises the rationales.

Pricing
