New app builds a stock and crypto portfolio from one typed sentence

Ulys, an AI investing app based in New York, opened to the public on the App Store on November 10, 2026. You type what you believe, such as "cybersecurity companies will benefit from all these new software vulnerabilities," and the app builds a basket of assets around that idea.

How it works

The company says a researched, ready-to-buy basket comes back in under a minute. Each asset comes with a reason and its sources. You can change the basket in the chat, for example "drop that one, add more of this." Nothing trades until you confirm.

Ulys says it covers stocks, ETFs, gold and crypto from one account, 24/7 where available. There is no brokerage account to link. The app is self-custodial, which means users keep control of their own funds. Until now it was a private beta with a small group of early users.

What is not known

The announcement does not say what Ulys costs or what fees apply. It gives no results showing how its baskets have performed, and every claim comes from the company. Ulys is available in the United States and more than 100 other countries, with features and assets varying by location. It is not available in the United Kingdom.

An AI pick can still lose money. Reading the reasons and sources for each asset before you approve is the safeguard the app puts in your hands.
