# How to Monitor Annual Reports with ChatGPT

ChatGPT transforms dense annual report data into clear trend narratives. It locates 10-K filings, extracts key financial metrics, and explains year-over-year changes in accessible language -- highlighting red flags, growth inflections, and management execution patterns that matter for investment decisions.

## Setup

{"mcpServers":{"toolrouter":{"command":"npx","args":["-y","toolrouter-mcp"]}}}

## Steps

1. Configure ToolRouter in ChatGPT
2. Ask: "Find Apple's 10-K filings for the past 3 years"
3. ChatGPT retrieves the annual report filings
4. Request: "Extract key financial metrics and show year-over-year changes"
5. Get a narrative summary of the financial trends

## Example Prompt

```
Monitor Apple's annual reports: find the last 3 years of 10-K filings and compare revenue, profit margins, and cash position.
```

## Tips

- ChatGPT can explain what changes in annual report metrics mean for investors
