Kavout

Alex Lu built Kavout because he saw retail investors getting absolutely demolished by hedge funds with superior data. So he built an AI-powered financial research platform that gives individual investors the same kind of institutional-grade intelligence—in real time. Kavout covers over 11,000 stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies with AI research agents that scan market data and spit out actionable insights in seconds. No finance degree required. NoBloombergterminal cost either—it's $69 for a lifetime license, down from $124.

The platform runs on Investgpt, their AI research assistant, plus a suite of tools: Smart Signals, Smart Money tracking, AI Stock Picker, and Market Movers to catch what's moving before it moves past you. There's also a Portfolio tool, Watchlist, and Stocklist for organizing your plays. They're positioning squarely against the expensive terminal crowd—ThinkOrSwim, Bloomberg, all those $25,000/year setups—by offering real-time US quotes, crypto, forex, and ETF data for the price of a nice lunch. Kavout is for retail investors who want institutional-grade signals without the institutional price tag.
