About this Event
Most researchers today are experimenting with AI tools like ChatGPT and Google Gemini. But the bigger shift isn’t chat - it’s using AI to automate parts of the research process.
We’re bringing together a small group of quant researchers in Chicago to explore what this shift actually looks like in practice. Tim Bock will run a hands-on workshop showing how tools like Claude Code can automate common research tasks, and we’ll discuss how research tools themselves are evolving to support this new way of working.
The session is intentionally small to allow practical discussion with peers. Afterwards we’ll head to SPIN for drinks and ping pong.
