Less than five years after our launch, we have already achieved a great deal with StocksGuide. We have quickly developed into one of the leading platforms for shareholders in German-speaking countries.
The world around us has evolved rapidly since then, driven primarily by the new possibilities offered by generative artificial intelligence. Since the launch of ChatGPT about three years ago, we have been thinking about how we can harness the new possibilities of AI for StocksGuide without incurring its disadvantages.
Many of you already participated in an initial beta program two years ago, in which we integrated an AI chatbot on the topic of stocks. We discontinued this development at the time because we were unable to offer you any real added value. After all, if you want to chat about stocks with a chatbot, you don't need StocksGuide for that; you can just as easily use ChatGPT, Gemini, or other AI tools. With all the disadvantages of this technology.
We have now taken a completely different approach: after more than two years of development and testing, an important milestone has been reached: StocksGuide is now AI-powered. This means that we can now use our extensive database together with the latest artificial intelligence models to create functionalities that were previously more of a pipe dream than reality.
With StocksGuide, you can now get clear and reliable answers to all key questions about a stock in real time and in easy-to-understand language. And all without the hallucinations that repeatedly occur in generic AI tools.
In this short video (under 2 minutes), we show you everything you need to know about the new StocksGuide AI and how you can use it to make better decisions faster in your everyday life.
What happens next?
The most important thing to note is that the insights into the business model and competition are just the beginning, and now things are moving quickly.
The complex groundwork for AI integration is now complete, and we can now provide new AI-supported functionalities in the application on a weekly basis. Starting next week, we will gradually expand the AI in StocksGuide, initially to include new insights into the management and the opportunities and risks of a stock.
Shortly thereafter, we will introduce another AI component that we haven't talked about yet and that will be a real highlight in StocksGuide. And after that... Given the new possibilities we now have in the age of AI, our ideas are almost limitless.
Stay tuned – it's going to be exciting!
You may be wondering what all this means for our low prices (less than €10 per month), which we have been offering for almost as long as we have been in business. Because despite all the euphoria, one thing is clear: using AI to operate the StocksGuide platform naturally costs us a lot of money.
Our clear goal is to offer the best alternative to other, much more expensive offerings on the market, especially for inexperienced stock market traders with small stock portfolios, even in the AI age that is now beginning. However, due to operating costs, we will have to reserve some of the most valuable AI functionalities exclusively for our “Unlimited” customers.
An upgrade to “Unlimited” will therefore be even more worthwhile for you (if you use StocksGuide Premium) in the future than it is today. Incidentally, StocksGuide Unlimited costs only $6.74 per week. That's significantly less than a weekly stock market magazine at the newsstand!
