Strabo AI ✨

Strabo AI

  • Today we're launching the first version of Strabo AI - a model trained to respond as a financial adviser to answer both general finance questions (what is an ISA etc) and questions specific to your portfolio using the data from your dashboard.

    We've broken out the assistant into its own page and given you some sample prompts at the top to get you started. Ask about diversification, rebalancing, risk, returns and more although please note that this is a Beta, so go easy.

Platform Updates  📊  

Multiple manual stocks

  • You can now add multiple manual stocks simultaneously, and keep these inside a custom parent account. This means you can have a manual brokerage account with children inside it, each with its own cost basis and ROI.

Onboarding changes

  • We are still getting feedback that the onboarding process is too cumbersome. So we’ve decided to remove the add account step entirely, and pre-populate new accounts with some dummy data.

Global feedback form

  • We’ve sent everyone a feedback modal which will appear on you next login, so you can share some insights with us for new feature development. Please be candid in your responses - all feedback is welcome.

Oct 16th, 2024
