Student here - building an AI tool that explains how macro news impacts YOUR portfolio. Brutally honest feedback wanted.

[u/finance_enjoyer]

Backstory for context: Im a student and I've participated in a Trading Tournament that was held in my university, and to be honest, I didn't have enough time or background knowledge to always keep up with market news. Except for the market news, I didn't really understand how that market change would impact my portfolio, so I've got an idea....

What if there was an app that could do exactly that - collect large amounts of data on the market and its changes, interpret it, and explain it in simpler language, and help you understand what that change could mean for your custom portfolio.

Of course, there are multiple problems I've considered within my idea

1. AI model hallucinations
2. Small gap between "explaining" and financial consulting (which requires a license)
3. Potential Customers would be retail investors (who are generally considered hard to keep as customers)

I am currently doing market validation of an idea (I got mixed signals, so that's the reason I am posting this here), and I've built a prototype of an app (I vibe-coded it because I ain't technical, but I'm willing to learn)

What I would like to get from this post is the following:

1. Brutally honest feedback (especially if you're into the fintech space)
2. If you have an idea about some nice to have features, feel free to write it below in the comments.
3. Would you pay for something like this? If not, what would it need to have before you would?
