The Challenge

Quality financial education has traditionally been reserved for those who can afford expensive advisors or have the time to consume endless generic market commentary. Individual investors were left with one-size-fits-all content that didn't speak to their specific holdings or investment goals.

The vision was clear: democratize personalized investment education by leveraging AI to deliver insights tailored to each user's portfolio, delivered in an engaging podcast format they could consume during their daily commute.

Our Solution

AI-Powered Analysis Engine

Built a sophisticated analysis pipeline using Google Gemini that ingests user portfolio data, real-time market information, and financial news to generate truly personalized insights—not generic commentary.

Natural Podcast Generation

Developed a dual-host podcast format featuring "Lane" and "Radford" who discuss the user's portfolio in an engaging, conversational style using advanced text-to-speech technology.

Real-Time Market Integration

Integrated with financial data APIs to pull current market conditions, earnings reports, and economic indicators—all contextualized for the specific stocks and funds in each user's portfolio.

Subscription Platform

Built a complete subscription system with Stripe handling recurring billing, founding member pricing locks, and seamless onboarding that captures portfolio preferences.

The Results

Real-time portfolio analysis
Investment mental models education
