Google Finance is getting a dedicated app for Android

Google on Thursday Fired A dedicated mobile app for Google Finance houses users’ watchlists and provides real-time market data, live financial news, and Google’s AI-powered Key Moments feature, which explains why stocks are moving.

The app will launch on Android first, and Google says it will launch an iOS version in the coming months. More features, like the ability to listen to live earnings calls, are also coming.

Google’s launch of a standalone financial app is likely less about giving investors another place to check stock prices, and more about Google trying to stake a claim in an increasingly crowded financial information app market.

The move puts Google in direct competition with consumer finance platforms like Yahoo Finance and trading apps like Robinhood.

The tech giant also said it is working with a new artificial intelligence system Google Finance web experiencewhich was unveiled last year, is coming out of beta with new features.

Google is also rolling out Portfolios globally within the new Google Finance web experience, allowing users to view their investments in a single dashboard that tracks holdings and their performance. Users’ existing Google Finance portfolios will automatically be visible, and they can create new portfolios by uploading files or describing their investments in the chatbot.

Once these portfolios are set up, users can use Google Finance’s AI search tool to ask questions, such as “What sectors are currently underrepresented in my portfolio?”

Google has added an AI feature that allows users to set up tasks using natural language prompts, such as timely briefings analyzing market changes, or summaries of the performance of their holdings. Users can ask the AI ​​assistant to use their watchlist or portfolio to get tailored insights into their own investments, and once the task is set up, Google Finance will work in the background.

Google says these new wallet and task features are available on the web starting today, and will be added to the Google Finance app in the coming months.
