Is there any custom models or logic to this; or is this just a cron job wrapped around an LLM?

Capturing data, feeding it to an LLM, and hoping it actually does comparisons properly?

Is the LLM writing code that is being executed for each query or job?

Otherwise, all I am seeing here (and based on your comments saying "LLM") it just appears this grabs data, gives it to an LLM, and "magic output"

There is a lot of custom logic and proprietary data, including a custom LLM framework and an agentic workflow framework as well as an insight engine.

> Monitor Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Meta stock. Notify me if any of them start trending toward being undervalued If you actually had a system that could detect when a stock was "undervalued" you should just trade directly on that system instead of selling it to consumers. This is pretty clearly scammy/predatory towards retail investors.

We only look at when the stock is objectively "undervalued". I'm not saying the system will tell you that a stock like Palantir is undervalued because it has a bright future. No. This system only tells when a stock is objectively undervalued. There are a few ways to know this. Here some examples: - Market cap is less than book value. - Market cap is less than free cash flow x 8 There are other ways, but these are som…

If that were true you wouldn’t need an ai to tell you.

The person who made the tool is culpable. Same way if a lawyer hires an intern that preps legal documents is responsible.

However, governments in thw US love to whitewash liability so this is just academic.

Of course it matters! AI doesn't automatically absolve you from your legal responsibilities...

I'd bet there's a person somewhere that receives money in exchange for sharing the AI's analysis, which would fall squarely into the second half of the definition:

Not necessarily. Say you can make 20% a year with your system. That's very respectable. But unless you have a large account already (1M?), you will make more by providing this knowledge to others.
