AI Classifier - Intelligent Decision Making for Your Workflows

· 5 min read
ApudFlow OS
Platform Updates

Introducing the AI Classifier worker - a powerful new addition to the ApudFlow platform that brings intelligent decision-making capabilities to your workflows. Using advanced AI models, this worker can analyze complex data patterns and make classification decisions that drive your automated processes.

What is AI Classifier?

The AI Classifier worker leverages large language models to analyze data and classify it according to your specific instructions. Unlike traditional rule-based classifiers, AI Classifier can understand context, recognize patterns, and make nuanced decisions based on natural language prompts.

Key Features

  • Flexible Classification: Define your own classification criteria and options
  • Context-Aware Analysis: Processes complex data structures and understands relationships
  • Multiple AI Models: Choose from various AI models for different use cases
  • Workflow Integration: Seamlessly integrates with existing workflow logic
  • Real-time Processing: Fast classification for time-sensitive decisions

Financial Markets Applications

AI Classifier excels in financial data analysis and automated trading scenarios. Here are some powerful use cases:

1. Stock Market Classification

Automatically classify stocks based on their characteristics:

Prompt: "Classify this stock data as: gold, nasdaq, crypto, forex, commodities"

Use Case: Route different types of financial instruments to specialized analysis workflows.

2. Market Sentiment Analysis

Analyze news articles and social media sentiment:

Prompt: "Analyze the sentiment of this financial news: bullish, bearish, neutral"

Use Case: Automatically adjust trading strategies based on market sentiment.

3. Trading Signal Generation

Generate buy/sell/hold signals from technical indicators:

Prompt: "Based on RSI, MACD, and volume indicators, generate signal: buy, sell, hold"

Use Case: Create automated trading systems that respond to technical analysis.

4. Risk Assessment

Evaluate investment risk levels:

Prompt: "Assess risk level based on volatility, beta, and Sharpe ratio: low, medium, high, extreme"

Use Case: Implement dynamic risk management in investment portfolios.

5. Market Regime Detection

Identify current market conditions:

Prompt: "Classify current market regime: trending_bullish, trending_bearish, ranging, volatile, calm"

Use Case: Switch between different trading strategies based on market conditions.

6. News Impact Classification

Determine the significance of financial news:

Prompt: "Classify the impact of this news on markets: major, moderate, minor, irrelevant"

Use Case: Filter and prioritize news feeds for faster decision making.

7. Asset Allocation Recommendations

Suggest portfolio allocations:

Prompt: "Recommend asset allocation based on risk profile: conservative, balanced, aggressive"

Use Case: Automate portfolio rebalancing based on changing market conditions.

How to Use AI Classifier

Basic Setup

  1. Add AI Classifier to your workflow canvas
  2. Configure the prompt with your classification instructions
  3. Specify data source using the dataExp field
  4. Connect to decision branches based on classification results

Example Workflow: Stock Analysis Pipeline

[Data Fetcher] → [AI Classifier: "gold, nasdaq, crypto"]

┌─────────┴─────────┐
│ │
[Gold Analysis] [Stock Analysis]
↓ ↓
[Gold Strategies] [Tech Strategies]

Advanced Configuration

Prompt Engineering Tips:

  • Be specific about classification criteria
  • Include examples in your prompts
  • Define clear decision boundaries
  • Test with sample data before deployment

Data Input Options:

  • Direct data objects
  • Context expressions (data.price, vars.indicators)
  • Complex nested structures
  • Real-time market data feeds

Technical Implementation

The AI Classifier uses OpenRouter's API to access multiple AI models including:

  • Meta Llama 3.1 (recommended for financial analysis)
  • GPT-4 (for complex reasoning)
  • Claude (for nuanced decision making)
  • Other specialized models

Response Processing:

  • Automatic extraction of clean decisions
  • Removal of AI explanations and reasoning
  • Consistent output format for workflow integration

Performance & Reliability

  • Low Latency: Optimized for real-time decision making
  • Error Handling: Graceful fallbacks and error reporting
  • Cost Effective: Efficient token usage and model selection
  • Scalable: Handles high-frequency trading scenarios

Real-World Success Stories

Automated Trading Bot

A quantitative trading firm implemented AI Classifier to automatically categorize incoming market data and route it to specialized analysis engines, reducing manual classification time by 95%.

Risk Management System

An investment bank uses AI Classifier to assess risk levels of new positions in real-time, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and internal risk policies.

News-Driven Trading

A hedge fund employs AI Classifier to analyze breaking financial news and automatically adjust portfolio positions based on sentiment and impact analysis.
