Q: &quot;Tell me about Stonks GPT?&quot;<p>A: &quot;Stonks GPT is a trading name for Stocks &amp; Breads, a UK-based provider of bread and breakfast products. The company was founded in 1894 and is headquartered in London. It is a leading provider of bread products in the UK, with a portfolio of over 50 brands. Stonks GPT is a subsidiary of Unilever PLC, which owns the brands including Pepperidge Farm, Lipton, and Marmite. The company&#x27;s core business is the production of bread and breakfast products, with a focus on quality and freshness.&quot;<p>There are a lot of hallucinations here. Recommend really specifying in the prompt that if it doesn&#x27;t know or is unsure, say that and don&#x27;t make up facts. Understand it&#x27;s alpha rn and this is all free UAT but for trading related products, accuracy and trust in the product is vital

How is this #2 on the front page? It doesn&#x27;t do anything! I typed in a question, no answer. I typed in a public company name, no answer.

I entered a very reasonable query, &quot;what stock should I buy (to get rich as hell)&quot;, and there were no useful results. Hopefully this will be fixed when it is officially released!

All the stock and finance data one needs is in earnings statement PDFs stored on the regulators website.<p>Why isn&#x27;t there an AI product that can pull every PDF data table and provide the key ratio calculations? That&#x27;s by far the most time consuming thing about analyzing earnings reports.There are computerized services that have done this for years but that costs money and is not AI-powered.<p>Shouldn&#x27;t this be the first thing to be automated in the world of investment research?

I hear about so many AI powered stockpicking in the investing space that I am even more firmly convinced that just investing in broad indexes like S&amp;P 500 is the only move left for retail investor. pretty much all the alpha is going to squeezed out even if a small number of these efforts are successful.

With a name like Stonks, the audience isn’t supposed to take this seriously, right?

I love how people continue to use the GPT acronym despite the trademark attempt by OAI, trademark are worthless if not enforced and if the word becomes generic in its usage, so continuing to use GPT to talk about transformer-based generative model is actually harming the trademark grab.

All my requests fail beyond the proposed prompts, and the &quot;random&quot;. I asked &quot;show me the chart of SP500 over the last 3 months&quot; and it didn&#x27;t work. Could you give a rough idea of the scope as of now ?

So how does this work?<p>“Top 10 technology stocks by marketcap” for example.<p>I can see how it can take technology stocks when looking at the whole sentence and use that for a vector search. How do you pull things like “top 10”and turn that into a query?

Hi, congrats on your project. I&#x27;ve noticed some things:<p>- Since this doesn&#x27;t seem to be made to deal with long complex prompts, I think enter should submit the query instead of adding a new line<p>- If I ask for something it doesn&#x27;t know (e.g. spacex marketcap) I get a message explaining that the AI doesn&#x27;t know that. So far so good. However, when I type into the box after that, that message changes on each keyDown.<p>edit: Now it seems to be down (error 429 in the console), but there is no error message in the frontend. There should be some explanation to the user :)

I tried typing in a ticker symbol &quot;ozk&quot; and it had nothing. I tried typing the full name, &quot;Bank of the Ozarks&quot; and it got nothing. I understand it&#x27;s looking for natural language, but I would expect business names to pull up something?

Tried your service. Once I sent my question and got the answer it&#x27;s not possible to enter another request in the search field. Possible a bug ?
