I need an opinion on my app
2 points by contactlovreb •                         
Hi everyone! I am currently in the process of building Monetario AI (getmonetario.com), an app that shows how some macroeconomic events impact your personalized portfolio and your holdings.

Story for context: I'm a university student who participated in a Trading Tournament held at my university, and I didn't have enough time or background knowledge to keep up with market news consistently. Except for the market news, I didn't really understand how those market changes would impact my portfolio, so I've got an idea what if there were an app that would help you with that

The whole goal of this app is to have all the data locally on app with simplified explanation and so you can make better informed decision.

I would also like to state that Monetario AI doesn't give investment advice, as it's currently just more of an educational finance app.

Feel free to ask any questions about the app you may have, and I would really like it if you would check my app (or sign up on the app) and give constructive feedback.

Hi, I checked your app. Since you asked for constructive feedback - here's some. I believe the overall idea is good. Overtime, you may have to evolve your differentiator. Similar systems have been in use in ERPs like Oracle & trading feeds. Where the news & time series data are scanned for risk profilings in various contexts. Eg. Vendor onboarding risk, existing vendor risk & trading decisions. Since you are building it for personalized portfolio - it becomes different game yet. These of late have moved to LLMs now from NLP based systems. So systems have existed in pockets in past.

Have you yet thought of differentiations or what was the resistance or acceptance of incumbents to have this feature or to which extent they already have it?
