Description

Kelly Shue, Professor of Finance at Yale and coauthor of Corporate Finance by Ross, Westerfield, Jaffe, Jordan, and Shue, shares how AI agents can make teaching finance easier and more effective. The transition toward autonomous agents that can take actions and maintain consistent memory has become the most talked-about AI development this year. OpenClaw, the open-source framework at the center of this shift, has redefined the AI frontier in the most significant way since DeepSeek. In this session, Kelly walks through how she built “Romeo,” her AI agent that scans financial news each morning, drafts social media commentaries tied to her current syllabus, creates finance case studies and Excel models using live data, and develops teaching supplements for her students. She will explain what AI agents are, how to set one up, and how to manage one safely, with no technical background required. Beyond the classroom, the session will also touch on how agents can support finance research and general productivity. Whether you're curious about OpenClaw specifically or AI agents more broadly, this is a practical look at what's possible right now for finance educators.
