We created a watchlist app with AI superpowers. If you still use the Apple stocks app, you should use Alpha.

Congrats on the launch, @michael_thomas2713. How do you handle real-time market events compared to other apps? Do you rely on specifci data sources / APIs or also on sentiment on Twitter? Curious.
Michael Thomas
Thanks @ashitvora - Alpha leverages the entirety of Public.com's insights suite of both 3rd party and proprietary datasets / APIs. We then supplement all that data with a number of realtime agentic pipelines.

Killer use case and very clean design. Love that it's in a standalone app. Great job @leifthunder & team!
Michael Thomas
@leifthunder @larue Thanks, Aaron! Please share with your network and provide any feedback you have. We greatly appreciate any and all user feedback!

Was always wondering why AI in fintech for retail investors is yet an unexplored space. This nails it, right on point. Really impressed and looking forward to what lies head for Alpha, I really hope you become the Alpha of this space. @jaketref @leifthunder @leifthunder Plug: I do Content Marketing, Do let me know if I could be of any help

@jaketref @balaji_rao1 First off, if you operate in a regulated space and deal with people's money you have to do things proper and that needs time and effort. Hallucinations essentially should never appear and that's a tall order with AI at this stage. We for example have connected GPT to our own data sources and use the actual GPT model/data only as a fall-back. This has brought wrong answers waaaaaay down because we rely mostly on structured data, not scraping website. Alpha has also been live for a year and a half within the Public app already, so we had a lot of time to fine-tune things as well.

@jaketref @leifthunder I guess a better way to look at it would be to have a mix of AI as well as human wealth managers - idk but I am not fully sure when I will trust my money completely with AI
Jake Trefethen
@leifthunder @balaji_rao1 Similar to copilots in coding, our philosophy is that AI at this stage is best positioned to 10x your self-directed investing workflow rather than act fully autonomously, this is something we've seen work consistently with Alpha within the Public app and want to double down on with this product.

Excited for this launch! Shout with any questions!

Congrats! This is a very interesting product - I really love the idea. It would be even better if the product could support adding some index funds, as they make up a significant part of my current portfolio.

Congrat! I think features like commenting on specific parts of the doc could be also cool!

Alpha could transform how I manage my investments. How do you see AI impacting investment strategies in the future?
