1
00:00:01,079 --> 00:00:04,640
Alright, welcome to the Neuvottelija channel.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,000
This is a bit of a glimpse into Neuvottelija Sisäpiiri.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:16,199
Neuvottelija Sisäpiiri is this kind of exclusive, or

4
00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:21,680
extra content, and it has several tiers. You get access to it when you go

5
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:27,439
over to YouTube and subscribe to the Insider content.

6
00:00:27,439 --> 00:00:31,679
There's typically an extra discussion of about 10 minutes

7
00:00:31,679 --> 00:00:37,559
with the guests, which only you get to see. And on top of that there's

8
00:00:37,559 --> 00:00:42,399
a useful feature, that when you contact me after that, say

9
00:00:42,399 --> 00:00:48,520
on WhatsApp, we check on LinkedIn, say, that you're a real person, then

10
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,719
then you can get into Neuvottelija Sisäpiiri, where there are now

11
00:00:52,719 --> 00:01:00,039
around 170 people and several of my guests. And there we then discuss

12
00:01:00,039 --> 00:01:05,119
these things properly, like adults. I'm one of the moderators there.

13
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:11,000
There are only real people there. Messages disappear in seven days and no one

14
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,439
represents their organization, unless they specifically want to.

15
00:01:16,439 --> 00:01:21,280
And then there's an extra feature that you can't really find elsewhere in Finland. So

16
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,880
I'm actually a pretty good AI user. Throughout the year I've

17
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:32,119
specifically been developing an AI called Samantha. It's OpenClaw-based, running on its own

18
00:01:32,119 --> 00:01:36,920
computer, an AI agent. It has its own kind of Hermes research

19
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:42,640
agent, a Hermes agent system. It has the best language model available, and

20
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:48,000
for example these helper models then for this Hermes agent

21
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,159
through. It has a very well-developed memory, three-tiered

22
00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:59,119
and then you can ask it whatever you want. And in my opinion it answers very well

23
00:01:59,119 --> 00:02:05,200
for example about investing, politics, in general

24
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,039
science, armchair economists,

25
00:02:09,039 --> 00:02:13,520
about basically anything, and people have fun there, and I'm trying to train it

26
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:19,560
like an actual employee. Uh, I'm going to demo it now. I was

27
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:24,599
in Tampere for the second time within a week. The first time, of course, I went to celebrate, or

28
00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:30,280
to watch Tappara win another championship. I bought this kind of

29
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,680
nice gold pin here for my jacket lapel, but now I went again

30
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,720
to the Tampere investment fair. Tampere-talo was completely full of people who

31
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,000
wanted to discuss investing and look at these Finnish listed companies

32
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,400
and I was there as an invited panelist for the investment club panel

33
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,879
on using AI in investing. It was moderated by Aleksi Kopponen.

34
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:04,879
Also there were Iida Hyynnilä and Timo Heikkilä and me. And now I'll show

35
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:09,959
here the demo that I showed there too, in the hall. So here

36
00:03:09,959 --> 00:03:15,360
Samantha, my main agent, uh, gets a challenge, that first

37
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,120
I talk with Ville Skogberg, the founder of Nebula, about whether we

38
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:25,120
have both held Alphabet for years and whether it's been a good investment. So

39
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,640
then first we discuss that, well, the results were really good, so is this

40
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:34,239
still a good investment, and then we concluded that it's not worth selling at this point.

41
00:03:34,239 --> 00:03:40,120
especially since you can't even own Anthropic or OpenAI through the stock exchange. But

42
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:43,000
then we start thinking about the fact that there's a bit of

43
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,640
bubble-like characteristics to this AI boom. The Americans are putting in hundreds

44
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,879
of billions of dollars into this AI race, so what, which are the

45
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:57,560
stocks that could benefit from it. And Samantha then discusses with other

46
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:03,040
AI working-group bots about possible sectors.

47
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:07,120
The task is that this investment could be more like

48
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,120
a value investment rather than a growth investment. That is, buying at a reasonable price

49
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,439
probably somewhat weaker growth. We go through the use of AI

50
00:04:14,439 --> 00:04:19,600
in investing, and on stage come Sami Miettinen, Iida Hyynnilä and Timo

51
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,960
Heikkilä. Welcome. Judging by the names, Aleksi Kopponen

52
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,560
was the one who actually came on stage first, but without further ado

53
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:32,680
let's bring Iida Hynnilä on stage first. Welcome.

54
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:38,880
Then, uh, established Tappara man Sami Miettinen, and then investor

55
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,120
Timo Heikkilä. Since we've already gone through Gemini here too, we can probably state

56
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,759
roughly what they are. So they're very similar services

57
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:51,960
to each other, like with ChatGPT, but is there really much

58
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,960
difference between them from an ordinary user's point of view? Would Sami like to comment on

59
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,639
this? Yeah, I have all of them in use, for the

60
00:04:58,639 --> 00:05:02,600
reason that, well, there's this kind of game going on, where Anthropic has been

61
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,560
so popular and so good specifically in office use, because of its Cowork

62
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,320
feature, that a huge number of users have come to it, and they've started

63
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,039
solving this problem with capitalism. That is, they've started removing the queue

64
00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:20,840
model, where everyone got to use it almost unlimited for the monthly fee, and

65
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:24,560
moved to that kind of API pricing. So, so you have to pay for the extra usage

66
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,039
like real hard euros, which can be tens or hundreds on top of

67
00:05:28,039 --> 00:05:32,720
the monthly fee. This is a thing, then, OpenAI and Gemini are

68
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880
still a bit cheaper, which maybe shows then that they weren't as

69
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,120
popular, but all of them are currently almost equally

70
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,840
good in terms of capability. I actually use OpenAI's GPT-5 the most. It's

71
00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:46,560
the most cost-effective. So there's no big difference between them, but I would

72
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:52,400
say that Anthropic is the one that gets you furthest in office work,

73
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,919
because they've built a really good stack for how those Office

74
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:00,000
Microsoft Office files, for example, get analyzed, or Excel files like that. That

75
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,880
my multiples analysis was this kind of Claude Excel analysis, which by the way is

76
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,639
in investing. I mean, since many of us are this kind of gut-feeling investor, where

77
00:06:07,639 --> 00:06:10,880
you just throw money at it because it sounded like a good company, because it had good business,

78
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:15,280
so already this kind of finding relative valuation multiples kind of

79
00:06:15,280 --> 00:06:18,479
anchors the investment in reality, whether this really is

80
00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:22,280
nine times EBITDA for this value, so that's like kind of hard data

81
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:26,639
and Claude is better at that than these others. Let's take a look at how the bots

82
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:31,599
perform on this. So here they're kind of considering this initial thesis, whether

83
00:06:31,599 --> 00:06:36,720
Alphabet is still a good investment. There are grounds for this, because you find

84
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:42,520
this kind of processor, TPUs, cloud, also this Google Search and other

85
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:47,199
services. And then like a really solid infrastructure. Then from here

86
00:06:47,199 --> 00:06:50,520
you find these surrounding things, data center power and

87
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:56,440
cooling equipment, power grid, data center operators.

88
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:02,240
So these bots find these, then, network and data, traffic, infra,

89
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:07,120
chips and memory layers. And then they start digging into, at the same time,

90
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,800
thinking about what might be found here. And it throws out some, like, actual

91
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:16,479
listed companies. Vertiv, Eaton, Schneider, GE Vernova, Siemens Energy,

92
00:07:16,479 --> 00:07:22,319
Quanta Services, Prysmian, Nexans, Arista, Broadcom, and now let's bring in a second AI.

93
00:07:22,319 --> 00:07:26,360
This is now a manual run from me, so I type into Claude's Excel these

94
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,160
company names and then ask it to do this kind of investment banker

95
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,000
relative multiples analysis of all these companies. Now it starts

96
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,680
gathering this data via Claude, market cap, forecast,

97
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,440
profitability, revenue, debt ratio

98
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,319
and then we build this relative value matrix from all of these. So, that is

99
00:07:48,319 --> 00:07:52,479
like, say, this kind of enterprise value relative to

100
00:07:52,479 --> 00:07:57,280
EBITDA. And here now we find this Nexans

101
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:01,080
seems to be this kind of value-play candidate, so

102
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:05,560
smaller than the others, this kind of 8-billion valuation, and yet these multiples are

103
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:11,039
more moderate, and of course the growth is a bit weaker too. Well then I throw

104
00:08:11,039 --> 00:08:16,560
this at the other bots now, three of them here. There are several of this Excel and

105
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,159
then these bots read Excel fluently, so they analyze this, Samantha's

106
00:08:21,159 --> 00:08:25,000
work, or sorry, the one I made, this Excel

107
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:29,879
in the Claude in Excel application, and then give recommendations based on

108
00:08:29,879 --> 00:08:35,000
that. And then here, this Ville's Donna bot

109
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:38,279
also thinks that, as a value investor, this Nexans could be

110
00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:42,640
useful. Then I still give the final word on this to Samantha, that,

111
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,920
now go through this Excel again and read the other bots' analyses and then give me

112
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:52,120
a final investment proposal, which I could then present here

113
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:58,279
at the Tampere investment fair, and Samantha then starts ticking away

114
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:02,959
and also starts leaning toward this Nexans. It's a good infra thesis and

115
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:09,880
a cheap price. This could be, well, a trap, meaning it could well be that [unclear] doesn't then see it

116
00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:14,320
in the orders, but there's also this kind of traditional cable business here. There's

117
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,440
a bit of history to it. This is, well, the cable company left out of

118
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,680
Nokia's Alcatel-Lucent acquisition. And this is not

119
00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:26,480
investment advice. I'm putting out to the market this

120
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,399
buy order. I'm shading the price down a bit, in case it could be a bit

121
00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:34,320
cheaper, and let's see if it gets filled at that.

122
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:39,640
If it goes through, then I'm actually putting in €4,900 into this investment, and that

123
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,399
goes through, and this really isn't investment advice, but now there are 30

124
00:09:43,399 --> 00:09:48,480
shares of this stock, Nexans, a French company.

125
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:54,000
Well, this is a demonstration of how I, and many of my friends there in Sisäpiiri, do

126
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,399
analysis. Whether it's buying a stock, it's not enough that you just prompt it.

127
00:09:58,399 --> 00:10:03,959
It's not enough either that you just run this kind of Excel pass on it, there's this kind of

128
00:10:03,959 --> 00:10:07,600
second opinion, another opinion, or a third and a fourth, from other bots and

129
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,600
their owners, so, so that then really tests the thesis. It doesn't, though,

130
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,760
guarantee anything. This could even be a bad investment, and I did promise that I'll offer

131
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,279
free tokens and beers if this works out, but otherwise it's entirely

132
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:26,560
my own screw-up if this, if this doesn't fly. But you can do this over there in Neuvottelija's

133
00:10:26,560 --> 00:10:31,680
Sisäpiiri. I'd recommend it, try it, join there, get in touch with me

134
00:10:31,680 --> 00:10:36,120
and then apply for access to this Neuvottelija Sisäpiiri, and there then

135
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:42,320
you can meet this Samantha, that is, my AI worker, and then use

136
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:49,519
her know-how for your questions. Thanks, and no pressure. If it's not your

137
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:53,440
thing, then I'd appreciate it if you liked the channel and hit

138
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:59,600
subscribe. And, uh, I really do enjoy going out there to talk about AI and

139
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,519
show it, and go to things like that. It's always nice to visit Tampere, not

140
00:11:03,519 --> 00:11:08,959
just for watching Tappara, but that kind of investment fair over there

141
00:11:08,959 --> 00:11:12,680
at Tampere-talo is just a perfect example of an event where I'm

142
00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:18,160
very happy to be a speaker. Thanks.
