Edgen releases the first all-weather AI Chief Investment Officer, marking the end of the era of retail investor chatbots

The platform has over 481,000 registered users and has officially launched a new "Zero-Prompt" architecture. This architecture monitors the market 24/7, replacing traditional manual chat interfaces with proactive personalized intelligence.

Edgen today announced the official release of its "Personal AI Chief Investment Officer (AI CIO)." This is a market intelligence system designed to break the limitations of financial AI chatbots. Unlike current large language models (LLMs) that passively wait for user prompts, Edgen's AI CIO operates autonomously and is online around the clock.

For the more than 481,000 investors already registered on the platform, this version marks a shift from "asking questions" to "receiving answers." The system continuously analyzes stocks and digital assets through a collaborative network of 17 specialized agents, proactively pushing key and actionable insights before users even recognize the need.

The End of the "Prompt" Era

The current generation of financial AI requires users to become "prompt engineers," forcing them to know exactly what to ask to derive value. Edgen has completely eliminated this friction.

After users complete their onboarding through broker synchronization, wallet connection, or manual input, Edgen's AI CIO builds a comprehensive profile based on the user's holdings and risk preferences. From that moment on, the system begins to operate autonomously. It provides a "Daily Portfolio Briefing," hierarchically sorting market dynamics by relevance; and offers "Smart Alerts," intelligently identifying significant fluctuations, technical signals, and macro changes.

"We believe the future of AI is not a chatbot you have to talk to, but a wise brain that works for you while you eat and sleep," said Edgen CEO and co-founder Sean Tao. "Most investors don't have time to interrogate a bot about every stock in their portfolio. Our AI CIO flips the workflow: it watches the market around the clock and only 'taps you on the shoulder' when there is indeed important information that needs your attention."

Technical Core: Agent Network

The system is powered by a proprietary multi-agent architecture. Edgen does not use a single general model but leverages 17 specialized "virtual personas," such as "Agent Technicals," "Agent Tokenomics," and "Agent Macro," which collaborate with each other.

These agents build their reasoning foundation on a real-time financial knowledge graph, ensuring coverage of thousands of stocks and cryptocurrencies. This enables Edgen to identify complex correlations (e.g., how the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions impact specific DeFi protocols), which are often overlooked by standard chatbots.

"The market is ever-changing, and investors are often required to track too much information," Sean Tao said. "Our AI private research desk organizes this complex information into a stable, structured system. It mimics the operation of a professional investment team: clear responsibilities, collaborative processes, and actionable outputs."

Core Features Available at Launch:

• Zero-Prompt Analysis: No typing required. Automatically curates deep insights based on portfolio composition and user behavior.

• Unified Asset Intelligence: The first system to apply the same rigorous analytical standards to Wall Street stocks and Web3 digital assets in a single view.

• AI CIO Interface: A humanized, intuitive interface that integrates complex multi-agent outputs into simple, clear daily summaries.

Future Roadmap: From Intelligence to Action

Today's release is the cornerstone of Edgen's grand vision to "democratize the family office experience." While the current system focuses on high-level intelligence, the company is actively developing "Level 2" agent capabilities to transition the system from "observing" to "executing."

Future updates will introduce agents capable of deeper scenario planning, automated risk hedging suggestions, and seamless execution pathways.

"We are building a future where Edgen not only helps you see the road but also drives for you," Sean added. "Our commitment is to evolve the AI CIO from a senior analyst into a proactive partner, ultimately providing every ordinary person with the automated wealth management infrastructure that was previously only available to ultra-high-net-worth institutions."
