Agentic Equities v2

Check out Agentic Equities v2 here. This is a cross-post from Substack.

People are increasingly asking ChatGPT for investment advice, but there's no way to monitor this market-moving activity systematically. Agentic Equities began in August 2025 as a proof of concept to solve this problem.

The first version elicited buy/hold/sell ratings and a 12-mo price target from the OpenAI model that powers ChatGPT. We learned a lot about the relationship between LLMs and stocks, such as the inherent volatility of LLM ratings, their general bullishness, and more.

Despite these quirks, this activity is increasingly visible to retail investors and largely invisible to investment professionals. ChatGPT now has about 800M weekly active users, and one study found a correlation between ChatGPT-specific outages and lulls in market activity. Investment professionals will need to understand how ChatGPT and other chat engines are talking about their stocks of concern to get the full picture of price movements.

Marketers have already adapted to this new reality. There is a massive new category of "answer engine optimization" (AEO) tools for marketers, exemplified by products like Profound and AirOps. These products help companies monitor what apps like ChatGPT and Gemini are saying about their products. For example, BMW should know how often ChatGPT mentions them when a user asks, "What electric SUV should I buy?"

Agentic Equities v2 allows financial professionals to monitor what ChatGPT is saying about the stocks they care about:

  • Add stocks to your watchlist to start tracking ChatGPT sentiment every weekday
  • Create custom analysts to have the model rate stocks through a specific lens
  • Read the memos behind the ratings from an archive of 57k ratings
  • Get a weekly Sunday email with outlier GPT picks and notable GPT sentiment changes

Behind the scenes, we've upgraded ratings to use gpt-5.2, the model that now powers ChatGPT. We fetch new ratings every weekday at 3pm PT after market prices settle. We're already tracking the top 10 U.S. companies by market cap, and new stocks begin daily tracking as users add them to their watchlist.

We're excited to share this new version of the project with you. As a thank you for being an early adopter, get your first month free with code EARLY at checkout (expires Jan 31).
