Financial Chatbot README

Overview

This chatbot reads financial data from a CSV file and calculates year-over-year growth for key metrics. It responds to predefined financial queries using the processed data.

Predefined Queries

The chatbot can respond to the following queries:

1. Total Revenue for 2023:

   • Query: "What is the total revenue for 2023?"

2. Net Income Change Over the Last Year:

   • Query: "How has net income changed over the last year?"

3. Total Assets for 2023:

   • Query: "What are the total assets for 2023?"

4. Cash Flow Change Over the Last Year:

   • Query: "How has cash flow from operating activities changed over the last year?"

5. Revenue Growth Percentage from 2022 to 2023:

   • Query: "What is the revenue growth percentage from 2022 to 2023?"

How It Works

1. Data Processing:

   • Reads and processes the CSV file to calculate growth metrics.

2. Query Handling:

Limitations

  • Requires a correctly formatted CSV file in the same directory.

• Scope:

  • Limited to the companies and years present in the CSV file.
