Idea type: Swamp

The market has seen several mediocre solutions that nobody loves. Unless you can offer something fundamentally different, you’ll likely struggle to stand out or make money.

Should You Build It?

Don't build it.

Your are here

The idea of an AI stock sentiment analyzer is entering a crowded space. Our analysis shows 28 similar products already exist, indicating significant competition. While the average engagement (2 comments) is low, it also suggests that many of these tools don't generate much user buzz. Given that the IDEA CATEGORY is 'Swamp,' which indicates a market filled with mediocre solutions, and the general recommendation is 'Don't build it', you need to be very critical about your approach and differentiation. Several similar products have faced skepticism regarding their value proposition and target market, and concerns about complexity, transparency, and the necessity of a paywall were noted. To succeed, you'll need to offer something fundamentally different and address the shortcomings of existing solutions.

Recommendations

  1. Thoroughly research existing AI stock sentiment analysis tools. Analyze their strengths and weaknesses to identify unmet needs and opportunities for differentiation. Pay close attention to user reviews and feedback to understand their pain points.
  2. Identify a specific niche within the broader stock market analysis space. Consider focusing on a particular type of investment (e.g., ESG investing), a specific market segment (e.g., small-cap stocks), or a unique data source (e.g., social media sentiment). One user in the similar products pointed out the need for deeper analytics for market trends.
  3. Instead of directly competing with existing providers, explore building tools or services that complement their offerings. This could involve developing an API that integrates with popular trading platforms or creating educational resources that help investors better understand AI-driven insights. Based on what others have done (or failed to do) you could provide something for earnings calls.
  4. Before committing to building the full product, validate your core assumptions and value proposition with potential users. Conduct surveys, interviews, and focus groups to gather feedback on your proposed features and pricing. One product was criticized for lacking sufficient metadata and insights.
  5. Develop a clear and transparent explanation of how your AI model works and what data sources it uses. Address concerns about complexity by providing intuitive visualizations and easy-to-understand summaries. Transparency is key to building trust with users.
  6. Carefully consider your pricing strategy. Avoid paywalls that may deter potential users. Offer a free trial or freemium version to allow users to experience the value of your tool before committing to a paid subscription. One product got negative feedback for already having a GPT Pro account, so be careful with your pricing plans.
  7. Focus on building a strong brand and establishing credibility within the financial community. Share your research, insights, and analysis on social media and industry publications. Participate in relevant online forums and communities to engage with potential users and build relationships.
  8. Gather real-time or historical sentiment data and experiment with various machine learning models to determine the best approach for predicting stock price movements. Also, users pointed out the tool didn't show news impact on price changes.

Questions

  1. What unique data sources or algorithms will your AI stock sentiment analyzer use to provide insights that are not already available from existing tools?
  2. How will you ensure that your AI-driven insights are accurate, reliable, and transparent, especially in light of the inherent uncertainty and volatility of the stock market?
  3. Given the low engagement and high competition in the AI stock sentiment analysis space, what specific marketing and distribution strategies will you use to reach your target audience and stand out from the crowd?

AI that summarize news and analyze potential stock impact

18 Aug 2023 Investing Artificial Intelligence News

Hi Everyone,I was frustrated with the terrible news reading experience (Paywall, advertisements) so I created a free tool that summarizes the latest news articles and analyzes the potential stock impacts.This experiment has saved me so much time to help me understand what might be more important than others.It's completely free, no ad whatsoever. However, AI is a blackbox so take the rating (positive, negative, long-term, and short-term impact) with a grain of salt. It may have picked up some nuances within the article to give a rating and you might not agree with it.Please let me know if you have any feedback!

Asking for best contact method to share ideas.

Using a combination of quantitative methodology and machine learning, we predict stock prices through linear regression.

This dual approach ensures that investors have a comprehensive view of both technical data and market sentiment.Key features include: - Real-time technical analysis: Enter the ticker of a stock to receive the latest candlestick chart and key indicators like Bollinger Bands and Moving Average Lines. - Quantitative investment metrics: Evaluate stocks using advanced indicators such as the Sharpe Index and Volatility Index. - News sentiment analysis: Get a summarized view of recent news articles categorized by sentiment to inform your investment decisions.My goal is to continually enhance the accuracy and usefulness of this tool through machine learning and statistical analysis, making it an invaluable resource for investors.I believe this service has the potential to revolutionize the way people invest in stocks, making the process more accessible and data-driven.If you are interested in investing in this project or want to learn more, please contact us at haebom@23que.com.

Concerns about complexity, transparency, and the necessity of a sign-up requirement were noted. Some users faced technical issues with the site and ad blockers. There was interest but hesitation due to a paywall. Positive feedback was rare, with one suggestion for integration with Aiswers.com. Questions about the scope of markets covered and the technology's differentiation from existing solutions were also raised.

Users criticized the product for being too simplistic for professionals yet too complex for amateurs, with incorrect fintech reasoning and unclear roles for hedge funds and market makers. There's skepticism about the difficulty of proving an edge and dissatisfaction with the app not meeting expectations. Criticisms also include reliance on company statements, outdated competitor information, mandatory sign-up, ambiguity about financial advice, and a deterring paywall. Users find the complexity, lack of transparent value, site accessibility issues, incompatibility with ad blockers, unclear advantages of the chatbot, uncertain market coverage, and non-functional chat links problematic. The announcement's tone was also seen as excessively positive.

30 May 2024 Fintech Investing Artificial Intelligence

Hey guys,Over the past year I've been working on my pet-project stocknear to help small investors to beat the hedgies with high-quality data + machine learning algorithm that mostly are based on certain papers to predict trends, price movement, sentiment analysis etc.From today onwards the project is 100% Open-Source = Frontend+Backend.The frontend is based on Sveltekit and Tailwindcss. The backend is a combination of FastAPI, Fastify and Pocketbase.The reason why I wanted to open-source the project is to fight enshitification and also this field is filled with scammers and get-rich schemes. I wanted to become one of the few people who actually help users in the stock market without ads, tracking each movement or anything shady. An AI Stock Analysis Platform by the users, for the users.Link: https://github.com/stocknear

The comments on Stocknear highlight several issues: criticism for false promises and unprofessional behavior, a suggestion to prefix the title with 'Show HN:' for more visibility, and confusion about the tool's purpose for investors. Additionally, there is mention of an open-sourced stock analysis project aimed at helping small investors.

Users criticized the product for making false promises and having paywalled tools. They also mentioned unprofessional behavior and the prevalence of scammers and get-rich-quick schemes in the field. Additionally, the title lacks the 'Show HN:' prefix, and the purpose of the tool is unclear.

I built Real-Time Crypto news aggregator with AI sentiment analysis

30 Sep 2024 Artificial Intelligence

Hi, I'm Kamil, and together with my friends Michael and Martin, we have been working over the past few months on an application that gathers news about the cryptocurrency market from over 100 different, most popular sources (articles, CoinMarketCap feeds). Using artificial intelligence, it creates a summary and assesses the sentiment of the information.As someone who personally invests in the crypto market, I needed a tool that would gather the most important information in one place in real-time, evaluate it, and prepare a summary. This way, I can quickly draw conclusions about the current market situation and check which projects are being talked about the most and the best, allowing for swift buy/sell reactions. In the coming days, we will be adding more features to make life even easier for crypto investors.- over 100 news sources ; around 2000 news/posts daily ; news summaries ;sentiment rating (from -1 to +1, where -1 is negative and +1 is positive sentiment) and sentiment explanation in aggregated content ; crypto ranking by market cap ; market sentiment from 1H / 24H / 7d / 30d ; best/worst sentiment rankings ; most mentioned rankings ; top cryptocurrencies based on positive sentiment, high news coverage, and stable price growthhttps://x.com/voicelark

18 Jan 2023 Investing

I have been working on this AI that analyzes earnings report line by line and highlights texts based on the sentimentHere is a direct link to some of the popular stocks' latest earnings analysed with AIMeta Platforms [ link in comments ] Apple, Inc. [ link in comments ] Tesla, Inc. [ link in comments ]The green highlights are positive, and the red ones you can see if you scroll are negative statementsI also made a tab on top where you can see, individual statements made on margin, revenue, and growthHope you guys find it helpful, I'm always happy to take feedback or any more data you wanna see, please feel to comment and let me know

Users appreciate the clickable links for META, AAPL, and TSLA. There is a request for summarization and context specifically for earnings calls. Some users question the necessity of machine learning, suggesting that keyword matching might be sufficient.

Users criticized the product for lacking sufficient metadata and insights. Additionally, they felt that the use of machine learning was unnecessary and suggested using keyword matching instead.
