StocksTalk: A Voice-Enabled Conversational Agent for Structured Query Generation over Web Data

Researchers introduced StocksTalk, a voice-enabled conversational system that converts spoken financial screening requests into executable SQL queries over real-world market data, combining streaming speech recognition, retrieval-augmented constraint extraction, schema-grounded LLM-based SQL generation, rule-based validation, and human-in-the-loop verification. In a benchmark of 150 spoken financial prompts, StocksTalk improved constraint extraction accuracy, SQL executability, logical consistency, and multi-turn stability compared to baseline LLM-based approaches, demonstrating the value of transparent, voice-driven interfaces for financial analysis.

arXiv:2608.18105v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: StocksTalk is a voice-enabled conversational system for transforming spoken financial screening requests into executable and validated structured queries over real-world market data. The system combines streaming speech recognition, retrieval-augmented constraint extraction, schema-grounded LLM-based SQL generation, rule-based validation, and human-in-the-loop verification within an interactive dashboard. Unlike traditional template-driven financial assistants, StocksTalk exposes intermediate reasoning artifacts, including extracted constraints, normalized financial metrics, operator grounding, and generated queries, allowing users to inspect and refine each stage before execution. To evaluate the system, we curate a benchmark of 150 spoken financial prompts spanning multiple investment strategies and input noise conditions. Experimental results show that retrieval grounding, constrained query generation, and interactive verification substantially improve constraint extraction accuracy, SQL executability, logical consistency, and multi-turn stability compared to baseline LLM-based approaches. StocksTalk demonstrates how transparent, voice-driven interfaces can bridge natural language interaction and structured financial analysis, providing an effective framework for conversational stock screening and decision support.
