Example Prompts

Once configured, you can ask Claude things like:

• "What are the key financial ratios for Reliance Industries?"

• "Show me the quarterly results for TCS"

• "Compare HDFC Bank with its peers"

• "Get the balance sheet for Infosys for the last 5 years"

• "Search for companies with the name 'Tata'"

• Results depend on screener.in's availability and HTML structure

• Financial data is sourced from BSE/NSE filings as aggregated by screener.in
