An iOS version is on the way.
Google Finance finally offers a standalone Android app, with an iOS version on the way. This gives people access to real-time market data, a live financial news feed, and the platform’s AI research tool. The company says more web experience features will come to the mobile app in the coming months.
The web experience is also getting major upgrades, as an AI-driven overhaul leaves beta. There is an enhanced portfolio feature that consolidates all investments into a single dashboard, complete with performance data and asset allocation insights. Users can also create their own profiles by uploading CSV or PDF files detailing funds, or describing assets to the chatbot.
The built-in chatbot has access to these wallets, so people can “dig deeper by asking questions.” This chatbot also now has an agent component, as it can perform data retrieval tasks on demand. Google says this can be used to get timely updates on assets. The company describes tasks such as creating a “daily pre-market briefing analyzing significant overnight movements in major cryptocurrencies.”
The new web experience is available now, as is the Android app. The iOS app will arrive later this year.
I would be remiss if I didn’t point out the dangers of relying on AI when it comes to your money. We know that chatbots have hallucinations. Even Google seems to understand this, as it tells users that “AI can make mistakes” and that they should “always independently verify financial data and consult a financial advisor or licensed professional before making an investment decision.” It also states that all information taken from the platform is “for informational purposes only”. and this data is “synthesized from third-party sources.”
