Startup to replace investment banking analyst with machine learning.

I currently work in investment banking as an analyst, I've been in this position for a year already. To be honest, I've always been kind of a lazy individual and I hate doing menial work like research, formatting, inputting numbers into excel, taking notes for calls etc. I feel like its a waste of my talent and creativity. So instead of biting the bullet and toughing it out, I was thinking of ways I can automate the menial aspects of my job. I got pretty interested in learning how to program in my spare time, I've taken a few programming courses in college, but by no means am I an expert. I've been working a program using tensorflow to automate the most common tasks of an analyst............

 

Honestly no need of machine learning to do that, you just need a very reliable data source (let's say, you make a deal with Bloomberg to setup an API) and a computer can do pretty much all the modelling work and generate automatically comps/DCF/etc. You'd just need human operators to control and "sensitize" the output, i.e. adapt the assumptions for instance.
