# Frankie: AI analyst you can email to get work done > Source: > Published: 2026-07-13 21:50:06+00:00 [Back to Blog](/blog) # Introducing Frankie: your AI coworker, in your inbox by Compound Team · April 20, 2026 · 2 min read Most analyst work already starts as an email: a request, a few attachments, and an expectation that the finished files come back in the same thread. The tools that do the work, though, live somewhere else — you leave your inbox, open an app, and carry the context over yourself. Today, we’re introducing Frankie — your AI coworker for analyst work. Email Frankie a task and it handles the analysis in Compound — pulling the data, building the models, writing the memo — then replies to your inbox with the results. Frankie remembers your context across requests, so every task builds on the last. ## A coworker, not another app Working with Frankie looks like working with a colleague. Send an email to [frankie@getcompound.ai](mailto:frankie@getcompound.ai) describing what you need in plain English. You can attach files — Excel, PDF, Word, and more — for Frankie to upload to your Compound drive and analyze. Frankie acknowledges your request and begins working immediately. When done, it replies with the results, any created files attached — spreadsheets, documents, presentations — and a link to the Compound chat where the work was done. Reply to the email thread to ask follow-up questions or request changes. ## What Frankie can do Frankie handles analyst work inside Compound. You can ask it to: - Analyze documents and data in your drives - Create Excel workbooks, Word documents, and PowerPoint presentations - Research public companies using SEC filings, earnings transcripts, and web data - Build financial models, comps, and other analytical outputs - Run complex multi-step analyses across multiple files Frankie can also search across your Compound drives — finding files by name, searching past chat messages, or locating prior analyses. ## Work that runs on a schedule Not every task needs to wait for you to ask. Frankie can schedule one-time tasks to run at a specific date and time, or set up recurring analysis on a cron schedule — daily market updates, weekly portfolio reviews. Either way, Frankie emails you the results as soon as each scheduled run finishes. ## It remembers Frankie remembers context across conversations — your preferences, prior decisions, and important details — so you don’t have to repeat yourself. Ask it to research a company this week, and next week’s follow-up doesn’t start from zero. ## Get started Create a Compound account if you don’t have one, then email [frankie@getcompound.ai](mailto:frankie@getcompound.ai) with a request — for example, “Analyze the Q4 earnings for AAPL and create a summary spreadsheet and memo. Send them to me as a zip file.”
