# StocksTalk: A Voice-Enabled Conversational Agent for Structured Query Generation over Web Data Source: [https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105) Vikranth Udandarao11footnotemark:1 IIIT\-Delhi vikranth22570@iiitd\.ac\.inAbhay Shakya11footnotemark:1 IIIT\-Delhi abhay24108@iiitd\.ac\.inTanmay Hire11footnotemark:1 IIIT\-Delhi tanmay24100@iiitd\.ac\.inAvinash Anand IIIT\-Delhi avinasha@iiitd\.ac\.inRajiv Ratn Shah IIIT\-Delhi rajivratn@iiitd\.ac\.inDaniel Wang Zhengkui Singapore Institute of Technology zhengkui\.wang@singaporetech\.edu\.sg ###### Abstract We presentStocksTalk, an interactive system for inducing structured financial screening queries from noisy spoken natural language\. The system addresses a practical structured prediction problem: mapping unconstrained, multi\-attribute conversational investment intents into executable and validated SQL queries over real\-world financial data sources\. StocksTalk integrates four components: \(1\) streaming speech recognition, \(2\) retrieval\-augmented constraint extraction, \(3\) constrained LLM\-based SQL induction with schema grounding and rule\-based validation, and \(4\) human\-in\-the\-loop verification through an interactive dashboard\. Unlike template\-driven financial assistants, our system exposes intermediate representations—extracted constraints, normalized financial metrics, operator grounding, and generated SQL—allowing users to confirm or correct each stage before execution\. We evaluate the system on a manually curated benchmark of 150 spoken financial prompts spanning three investment strategy categories and two input noise conditions, and report metrics on SQL executability, constraint extraction accuracy, query edit distance, multi\-turn stability, and latency\. Results demonstrate that constrained decoding and intermediate verification significantly reduce malformed or semantically inconsistent queries compared to both unconstrained generation and a plain GPT\-4o baseline without RAG or validation\. The benchmark will be publicly released to support further research in voice\-driven text\-to\-SQL systems\. *Keywords*Conversational AI⋅\\cdotFinancial Technology⋅\\cdotStock Screening⋅\\cdotVoice Interfaces⋅\\cdotRetrieval\-Augmented Generation⋅\\cdotNatural Language Processing⋅\\cdotInvestment Analysis⋅\\cdotReal\-time Data Integration ## 1Introduction Mapping natural language into executable structured queries is a long\-standing challenge in machine learning and database research\(Liuet al\.,[2026](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib11)\)\. In high\-stakes domains such as finance, this challenge is amplified by noisy user input, domain\-specific terminology, temporal qualifiers, and multi\-attribute constraints\. Spoken interaction introduces additional uncertainty due to transcription errors and ambiguity\. We frame this problem as*interactive structured prediction under uncertainty*: given a spoken utterance describing financial screening constraints, the system must infer a valid, executable SQL query aligned with a predefined financial schema, while preserving semantic intent and ensuring logical consistency\. The rapid adoption of AI\-driven tools across business domains\(Bialkova,[2024](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib10)\)underscores the demand for reliable, interpretable interfaces that can mediate between unconstrained human intent and structured data systems\. Existing text\-to\-SQL systems typically operate on benchmark datasets with clean textual input and fixed schemas\(Liuet al\.,[2025b](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib12)\)\. In contrast, real\-world financial screening introduces several additional requirements not addressed by prior work: - •grounding natural language constraints to domain\-specific financial metrics, - •normalizing units and thresholds \(e\.g\., percentage vs\. absolute values\), - •aligning temporal qualifiers with available data fields, - •preventing logically inconsistent query constructions\. StocksTalkaddresses this challenge by integrating streaming speech recognition, retrieval\-augmented constraint extraction\(Gaoet al\.,[2024](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib13)\), constrained LLM\-based SQL generation \(GPT\-4o with schema\-grounded prompting\), and rule\-based validation within a human\-in\-the\-loop interface\. The system exposes intermediate representations—extracted constraints, normalized metrics, and generated SQL—allowing users to verify correctness before query execution\. Our primary contributions are: \(1\) a modular pipeline for voice\-driven financial query induction with full intermediate transparency; \(2\) a curated benchmark of 150 spoken financial screening prompts across clean and noisy conditions, to be publicly released; and \(3\) an empirical evaluation demonstrating that constrained decoding, RAG grounding, and interactive verification each address distinct, non\-overlapping failure modes\. ## 2Positioning and Related Work #### Text\-to\-SQL and NLIDBs\. Work on natural language interfaces to databases \(NLIDB\) and text\-to\-SQL generation has shown substantial progress in mapping unstructured language into executable query structures\(Liuet al\.,[2026](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib11),[2025b](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib12)\)\.Songet al\.\([2024](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib5)\)specifically target the financial domain, benchmarking LLM\-based text\-to\-SQL and proposing tree\-based edit distance as a reliable evaluation metric\. Visual query systems such as OptiqueVQS\(Soyluet al\.,[2016](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib4)\)demonstrate that multi\-paradigm interfaces with exposed intermediate representations improve end\-user accuracy—a principle we directly adopt\. However, these systems assume clean textual input and do not handle spoken interaction or real\-time Web data sources\. #### Retrieval\-Augmented Generation\. RAG pipelines\(Gaoet al\.,[2024](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib13)\)improve factuality and domain grounding in LLM\-based systems\. Knowledge\-oriented retrieval\(Chenget al\.,[2025](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib6)\)further integrates structured domain knowledge, and hallucination mitigation\(Zhang and Zhang,[2025](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib15)\)addresses reliability in retrieval\-augmented settings\. Agentic RAG\(Singhet al\.,[2026](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib14)\)extends this to multi\-step tool use—a direction StocksTalk complements in the financial screening domain\. These techniques form the core of our RAG\-based intent understanding layer\. #### Conversational and Voice Agents\. LLM\-powered conversational agents have been deployed in structured data\-collection workflows\(Liuet al\.,[2025a](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib1)\), demonstrating that scaffolded dialogue improves both accuracy and user experience\. Agentic workflow interfaces\(Caetanoet al\.,[2025](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib9)\)broaden the scope of human–AI interaction, but typically act as query–response agents without exposing intermediate reasoning\. Voice\-driven assistants in commercial settings remain limited to intent classification and template invocation\. StocksTalk bridges this gap by combining voice input with transparent, step\-by\-step query formulation\. #### Financial LLM Systems\. Context engineering\(Meiet al\.,[2025](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib3)\)and information retrieval with LLMs\(Zhuet al\.,[2025](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib8)\)have been surveyed extensively, but domain\-specific deployment in finance—particularly for structured query induction over live market data—remains underexplored\. StocksTalk targets this gap directly\. ## 3System Architecture and Workflow StocksTalkis implemented as a modular, Web\-native pipeline composed of four stages \(Figure[1](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#S3.F1)\): \(1\) low\-latency speech interaction, \(2\) retrieval\-augmented intent understanding, \(3\) structured query induction, and \(4\) real\-time Web data integration\. Figure 1:Overview of the StocksTalk architecture\. The system transforms spoken financial queries into validated SQL queries, retrieves real\-time market data, and enables human\-in\-the\-loop verification through an interactive dashboard\.### 3\.1Speech Interaction Layer StocksTalk uses a streaming speech\-to\-text interface \(ElevenLabs STT\) to convert unconstrained spoken utterances into structured textual segments while preserving discourse cues necessary for retrieval\. The system tracks multi\-turn dialogue state and supports region\-specific conversational agents, producing a stable intermediate representation that downstream modules can reliably interpret\. ### 3\.2RAG\-Based Intent Understanding Transcribed utterances are processed by a retrieval\-augmented generation engine built on GPT\-4o with schema\-grounded prompting\(Gaoet al\.,[2024](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib13)\)\. A curated financial knowledge base—covering metric definitions, operator conventions, and sector taxonomies for the Screener\.in schema—is retrieved at inference time to ground constraint extraction and reduce hallucination\(Zhang and Zhang,[2025](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib15)\)\. The RAG module performs: - •domain\-aware retrieval, querying the financial knowledge base for relevant metric definitions and screening rules; - •intent parsing, extracting constraints such as valuation thresholds, sector preferences, growth filters, and temporal qualifiers; - •context retention, accumulating and updating constraint slots across multi\-turn conversations\. ### 3\.3Structured Query Induction Extracted constraints are mapped into executable SQL\-like queries through a constrained generation module, building on advances in financial text\-to\-SQL\(Songet al\.,[2024](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib5); Liuet al\.,[2025b](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib12)\)\. The module performs: - •constraint validationto ensure logical and financial coherence; - •operator grounding, identifying relational operators and logical connectors; - •query pattern verification, preventing malformed or semantically inconsistent structures; - •explanatory query synthesis, exposing generated SQL for auditability and user control\. ### 3\.4Real\-Time Web Data Integration The validated query is executed against Screener\.in’s live market data API\. The integration layer provides resilient API access with fallback strategies under rate\-limit conditions and structured formatting for dashboard presentation\. ### 3\.5Interactive Dashboard All pipeline stages are exposed through a synchronized Flask/SSE dashboard providing voice controls, query visualization with validation status, sortable result tables, and conversation history with highlighted constraints\. The design prioritizes transparency at each reasoning step, following principles from conversational agent design\(Liuet al\.,[2025a](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib1)\)and NLIDB interfaces\(Soyluet al\.,[2016](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib4)\)\. ## 4Evaluation ### 4\.1Dataset and Collection We curatedFinScreenBench, a benchmark of 150 spoken financial screening prompts spanning three investment strategy categories: growth\-focused \(50 prompts\), dividend\-oriented \(50 prompts\), and value\-based \(50 prompts\)\. Each prompt contains 2–5 constraints drawn from a vocabulary of 28 financial metrics \(e\.g\., P/E ratio, revenue growth, dividend yield, market capitalisation, debt\-to\-equity\)\. Prompts were authored by three annotators with finance backgrounds and cover diverse phrasing styles, numerical expressions \(cardinal, ordinal, approximate\), and temporal qualifiers\. Ground\-truth SQL queries were independently constructed and cross\-validated; inter\-annotator agreement reached Cohen’sκ=0\.87\\kappa=0\.87\. Prompts were recorded by six speakers under two conditions:*clean*\(quiet room, standard condenser microphone\) and*noisy*\(cafeteria ambient noise, 55–65 dB SNR\), yielding 300 total audio samples\.The benchmark will be publicly releasedat the project repository to support reproducible evaluation of voice\-driven text\-to\-SQL systems\. ### 4\.2Baselines We compare against three baselines to situate StocksTalk’s performance: - •GPT\-4o \(plain\): direct prompting of GPT\-4o with the transcribed utterance and schema description, no RAG, no validation\. - •GPT\-4o \+ RAG: RAG\-augmented GPT\-4o without the rule\-based validation layer or constrained decoding\. - •GPT\-4o \+ RAG \+ Validation: full pipeline without human\-in\-the\-loop verification \(automated execution only\)\. These baselines correspond to progressively ablating StocksTalk’s components and allow us to measure the marginal contribution of each design choice\. ### 4\.3Metrics - •Constraint Extraction Accuracy \(CEA\): percentage of correctly identified constraints, each scored as a triple \(metric, operator, threshold\); all three components must match\. - •SQL Executability \(EX\): percentage of generated queries that execute without syntax or schema errors against Screener\.in\. - •Logical Consistency Rate \(LCR\): percentage of queries free of contradictions or unit mismatches under the validation layer\. - •Query Edit Distance \(QED\): token\-level edit distance from ground truth\(Songet al\.,[2024](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib5)\); lower is better\. - •Multi\-turn Stability \(MTS\): percentage of constraint slots correctly retained or updated across 3\-turn refinement dialogues\. - •End\-to\-End Latency: wall\-clock time from speech completion to result visualisation \(mean±\\pmstd\)\. ### 4\.4Main Results Table[1](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#S4.T1)compares StocksTalk against the three baselines on clean input\. Plain GPT\-4o achieves reasonable executability but low logical consistency, since it has no mechanism to enforce financial coherence\. Adding RAG substantially improves constraint extraction\. The validation layer provides the largest single gain in logical consistency \(\+18\.3 pp\)\. Human\-in\-the\-loop verification closes the remaining gap, particularly for multi\-turn stability\. Table 1:Comparison of StocksTalk against baselines on 150 clean\-input prompts\. CEA = Constraint Extraction Accuracy; EX = SQL Executability; LCR = Logical Consistency Rate; QED = Query Edit Distance \(lower is better\); MTS = Multi\-turn Stability\.Table[2](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#S4.T2)shows StocksTalk’s performance broken down by input condition\. The clean–noisy gap is largest for CEA \(–12\.8 pp\) and MTS \(–14\.3 pp\), reflecting the sensitivity of constraint extraction and dialogue tracking to ASR transcription errors on numeric thresholds and domain\-specific metric names\.

The results confirm that no single component subsumes the others: RAG is critical for constraint extraction, constrained decoding for executability, and the validation layer for logical consistency\. Removing HITL has a modest effect on single\-turn executability but a larger effect on multi\-turn stability, consistent with its role in preventing constraint drift across turns\. Table 3:Ablation study on 150 clean\-input prompts\.Δ\\Deltadenotes absolute drop from the full system\. ### 4\.6Effect of Interactive Verification Table[4](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#S4.T4)shows HITL gains broken down by prompt category\. The benefit is largest for value\-based prompts \(\+8\.5 pp\), which involve the most compositional constraints and are most susceptible to grounding ambiguity\. User correction at the intermediate stage absorbs these errors before they propagate into query generation\. In multi\-turn dialogues, a misidentified constraint in turn 1 persisted into turn 3 in 34% of cases without HITL, dropping to 9% with verification\. Table 4:Effect of HITL verification on SQL executability \(%\) by prompt category, clean input\. ### 4\.7Discussion The baseline comparison \(Table[1](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#S4.T1)\) directly addresses reproducibility concerns: all results use GPT\-4o as the backbone LLM, and performance gains are attributable to the pipeline architecture rather than model choice\. The high executability rates reflect constrained decoding over a fixed Screener\.in schema rather than open\-ended generation, which bounds the difficulty of the task\. The remaining gap between clean and noisy conditions points to ASR quality as the dominant bottleneck, particularly for numeric threshold transcription\. Addressing this through financial\-vocabulary ASR fine\-tuning is a concrete direction for future work\. ## 5Demonstration and Use Cases The demonstration ofStocksTalkshowcases an end\-to\-end session in which participants interact entirely through speech\. Each spoken query triggers the full processing loop—speech recognition→\\rightarrowRAG\-based reasoning→\\rightarrowSQL induction→\\rightarrowWeb data execution—with live dashboard updates at each stage\. ### 5\.1Demonstration Setup The demo integrates: \(1\) ElevenLabs streaming STT/TTS, \(2\) GPT\-4o with RAG\-based intent understanding, and \(3\) Screener\.in API for live market data\. The backend uses Node\.js/Express with Python modules for query induction; the frontend uses JavaScript and SSE for synchronized dashboard updates\. ### 5\.2Interaction Flow Participants issue spoken prompts \(e\.g\.,“Find large\-cap IT stocks with improving margins and P/E below 25”\)\. The dashboard presents four synchronized views: \(1\)Speech View\(ASR output\), \(2\)Query View\(generated SQL and validation status\), \(3\)Results View\(sortable market data table\), and \(4\)Reasoning View\(highlighted extracted constraints\)\. Users can correct constraints in the Reasoning View before query execution, implementing the HITL loop evaluated in Section 4\. ### 5\.3Use Cases - •Growth Screening: filter by revenue growth, market cap, and sector thresholds via voice\. - •Dividend Retrieval: conversational filters on yield, payout ratio, and dividend history\. - •Value Exploration: multi\-constraint screening on P/E, P/B, ROE, and debt\-to\-equity ratios\. ## 6Conclusion and Future Extensions StocksTalkdemonstrates that voice\-driven financial query induction can be made reliable through a combination of RAG grounding, constrained SQL generation, rule\-based validation, and human\-in\-the\-loop verification\. Evaluated on 150 spoken prompts with GPT\-4o as the backbone, the full pipeline outperforms a plain GPT\-4o baseline by 27\.8 pp on logical consistency and 37\.4 pp on multi\-turn stability, with each component addressing a distinct failure mode\. Planned extensions target three concrete directions: \(1\)news and earnings retrieval—integrating real\-time earnings call transcripts and financial news feeds as additional RAG sources, enabling event\-driven screening queries such as“companies that beat EPS estimates last quarter in the pharma sector”; \(2\)portfolio\-aware screening—extending the query schema to support relative constraints against a user’s existing holdings, enabling queries like“find stocks with lower volatility than my current portfolio”; and \(3\)agentic screening workflows\(Singhet al\.,[2026](https://arxiv.org/html/2608.18105#bib.bib14)\)—chaining multiple screening steps autonomously, for example running a growth screen followed by a valuation filter without requiring per\-step voice input\. These directions move StocksTalk toward a general\-purpose platform for conversational financial analysis\. ## Acknowledgments We thank the developers and open\-source communities behind ElevenLabs for speech processing infrastructure, Screener\.in for access to publicly available market data, and the maintainers of Flask, Express\.js, and the LLM frameworks used in our pipeline\. ## References - S\.
