Track weekly portfolio risk using GPT-4.1, Slack alerts, and Google Sheets

📊 Description This workflow reads your portfolio from Google Sheets, fetches market data, evaluates key risk factors such as sector concentration, volatility, and stock correlation, and generates an easy-to-understand risk summary using AI. When meaningful risk is detected, the workflow sends a structured alert to Slack and stores a weekly risk snapshot in Google Sheets for tracking trends over time.
