Users describe the kind of investment they want to make. Ulys does the research, builds a basket of stocks, ETFs, gold and crypto, and waits for their approval before anything trades.
NEW YORK, NY
Ulys, an AI investing app, today opened to the public on the App Store with a new version. Users tell Ulys what they believe in, in their own words. Ulys finds the assets, builds a basket, explains why each one is there with its sources, and places the trade only when the user confirms.
Millions of people have savings set aside and real opinions about where the world is heading, from their work, the news or what they see every day. Few of them act on it. Turning a view like “cybersecurity companies will benefit from all these new software vulnerabilities” into an actual position means picking assets, sizing them and reading filings, which takes skills and time most people don’t have. So they buy a broad index fund, or nothing at all.
Ulys removes that work. A user can type a single sentence and get back a researched, ready-to-buy basket in under a minute, then reshape it in the chat (“drop that one, add more of this”) before approving.
“Robinhood won investing on mobile. Someone is going to win it on AI, and it won’t be a brokerage app with a chatbot added in a corner,” said Hugo Renaudin, CEO of Ulys. “A lot of people have a few thousand dollars on the side and a real edge from their job or what they follow. What they don’t have is time to spend their weekends reading filings. Ulys does that work for them, and they stay in control of every trade.”
How Ulys works
- Ideas: Describe a theme or a belief and Ulys builds a basket of assets that fits it, with the reasoning and sources behind each pick.
- Research on demand: Ask why something moved, and Ulys reads the news and market data to answer.
- Smart Orders: Set an order that waits for a price or a real-world event, such as the market-implied odds of a Fed rate decision. It runs only on the terms the user approved.
- Proactive updates (new): Ulys keeps track of the themes and assets in each basket, flags earnings, news and new opportunities as they happen, and brings suggested moves back to the user to approve.
- Your money, your control: Accounts are self-custodial, so users control their own funds. There is no seed phrase to manage. Users sign in with Apple, Google or email and fund with a debit card, Apple Pay or crypto.
Ulys covers stocks, ETFs, gold and crypto from one account, 24/7, where available.
AI-first
Most investing apps have added AI to platforms that still revolve around tickers, menus and order forms. Ulys takes a different approach, making conversation the starting point. There is nothing to connect and no brokerage account to link: users download the app and talk to it.
“Every big shift in technology has been won by the product built for the new platform, not the incumbent’s companion app,” Renaudin said. “E-Trade had an app, but Robinhood was built for mobile from day one. AI is the next platform, and Ulys is built for it from day one.”
Until today, Ulys operated as a private beta, developed with feedback from a small group of early users.
Availability
Ulys is available on the App Store in the United States and more than 100 other countries. Available features and assets vary by location. Ulys is not currently available in the United Kingdom.
