Hands-on review

Semantic stock-discovery and research platform focused on the U.S. equity universe. Users can describe the type of companies they want (e.g., ‘profitable robotics companies’ or ‘stocks with strong pricing power’) and the AI screener returns matching stocks from a library of research reports. Coverage spans 5,000+ US-traded stocks, including microcaps, nanocaps, and OTC names, with detailed fundamentals, narrative analysis, category taxonomy, and a weekly ‘Investment Themes of the Week’ newsletter. The core web app is free to use as of late 2025.
