Introducing Frankie: your AI coworker, in your inbox
by Compound Team · April 20, 2026 · 2 min read
Frankie picks up an emailed task, runs the analysis in Compound, and replies with the results.
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 [email protected] 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 [email protected] 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.”
