It used to be the standard knee-jerk reaction here on HN to comment on how requiring sign-up just to try was a big no-no.

I'm curious if you're actually seeing people sign-up and try it. From the comments below, it seems after 2 hours, none of the commenters have tried it.

Did you consider not having a sign-up? How are you planning to get over this hurdle? Is it a hurdle?

Well given that it's an AI based product, it's not unreasonable to assume that they might have delved into using an LLM (see what I did there?) to help generate the launch announcement, and that's just the kind of overly effusive verb ChatGPT would lean towards using.

Who is your target market? This seems like it's too simple/without any integrations with common trading platforms to be useful for pros, but it provides too deep of information for amateurs. I'm always skeptical of financial tooling involving AI. If it was truly valuable, I don't think it would be released as it's basically a money printer with the edge it provides by keeping it private.

This reasoning for fintech is mostly wrong. The people who have alpha and are trading are very rarely the people who have data engineering and infrastructure skills.

Your hypothesis is essentially that Bloomberg, as a company, doesn't make sense.

If it is wrong, what is right?

How do you know this? Can you cite some useful information?

Providing pickaxes to miners has been a viable business model since the dawn of the modern age. But that's not what (mis)using LLMs for picking stocks is, unless you are in the shitty tool business. Bloomberg's tools are top of the line.

It is released by both OpenAI and Anthropic each to one of their key partners(large hedge fund) with exclusive access. I have inside sources at both that have told me as much.

That's great, but that's not what this app is.

Entirely restricted from watchlists unless you pay? This is going to drive people away. At least allow a few..

Would 100% try and buy a tool like this as I am the target market, but no way I'm going to go out of my way to sign up and pay for something I can't see value in behind a paywall.. "you and everybody else." Try a freemium or something? Good luck.

Addendum: It's not about the money, it's about the complexity. It isn't worth my mental overhead if I can't see a transparent value of the thing I'm buying. (Then I have to cancel, etc.. )
