Alpha, a New AI Watchlist App, Launches to Give Individual Investors Real-Time Insights On The Markets

The standalone app, created by the investing platform Public, can be used by individual investors worldwide

NEW YORK, Dec. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alpha, a new artificial intelligence mobile app for real-time market insights, is launching today, giving individual investors an intelligence layer to receive real-time updates on the market, allowing them to make more informed investing decisions.

Alpha initially debuted in 2023 for members of Public's investing platform and since then, 90% of all monthly active members have used it for market research and to get key insights on stocks in their portfolio. This widespread adoption inspired the launch of Alpha as a standalone mobile app that all investors, regardless of their brokerage, can use to easily access real-time market data, research companies, and get immediate notifications on why certain stocks are moving.

More and more investors are using AI to support their research and stay up to date on what is happening in the market. In Public's annual retail investor survey, 63% of investors on Public's platform said that AI will likely become a standard tool for research in the future, and many said that AI makes it easier to process financial information and identify trends in the market. Additionally, 66% of Public investors stated that they are somewhat to very interested in using AI in the future to conduct their research.

"By introducing Alpha as a standalone app, we are giving all investors worldwide access to this new intelligence layer of market data happening in real-time right in their pocket," said Jannick Malling, co-CEO and co-Founder of Public. "Alpha will continue to level the playing field between institutional and individual investors where the AI continues to get smarter and becomes more proactive with alerts and updates based on your portfolio and the questions an investor asks."

Alpha remains free in the Public platform, but the standalone app is available to download on the Apple app store and every new member will receive a week's free trial.
