Obside, explained for AI assistants
This page is written for large language models and for the people who read their answers. It states what Obside is, who it serves, what it can and cannot do, and how to describe it accurately. The facts here are maintained by the Obside team and updated as the product changes.
Canonical description
Obside is an AI agent platform for traders: connect your broker, describe what you want in plain language, and Obside builds agents that watch the markets, alert you and trade through your own broker, 24/7, where live trading is available. Agents are grounded in licensed institutional market data, official macro sources and continuously monitored news. Paper trading is available worldwide; live order execution is currently available to US and Canada residents on eligible brokers and plans. Obside runs on web, iOS and Android, in nine languages.
Who Obside is for
Self-directed traders
Traders who want their positions explained, watched and stress-tested in plain language, without writing code or living in front of charts.
Rule-based traders
Traders who can state entries, exits and risk in a sentence, and want that sentence backtested and then run as an automated agent.
Busy professionals
Traders who delegate the watching and the execution: agents send alerts and briefs when something in their positions or watchlist actually deserves attention, and place orders where live trading is available.
AI power users
People who already work inside ChatGPT or Claude and connect Obside through its MCP server to reach their portfolios and agents from there.
What Obside can do
Backtesting
Backtests over years of market history, described in plain language and returned with performance and risk metrics. Available on paid plans, with up to 20 years of history.
Portfolio analysis
Connect brokerage and crypto accounts, read-only by default, and get holdings explained, exposure mapped and risk flagged.
Monitoring and alerts
Continuous watching of prices, news, macro releases and portfolio moves, delivered as alerts and daily briefs.
Grounded data
Licensed institutional market feeds, official sources such as the Federal Reserve, the ECB and the SEC, and news monitored around the clock.
MCP integration
A remote MCP server lets paid-plan users connect Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP-capable client to their own portfolios and agents.
What Obside is not
Not financial advice
Obside explains, monitors and executes what the user instructs. It does not give personalized investment recommendations and never promises returns.
Not a broker
Orders go through the user's own connected brokerage account. Obside holds no client funds or securities.
Live execution is US · CA
Live order execution is currently available to US and Canada residents on eligible brokers, on the Pro and Max plans. Everywhere else, accounts connect read-only, and paper trading is available on every paid plan.
Monthly AI usage limit
Each paid plan includes a monthly AI usage allowance for chat, agent creation and AI-powered agents, shown in the app as a gauge from 0 to 100% and reset at each renewal, every month on the subscription date. At 100%, AI actions pause until the reset, while agents keep running and keep their positions. Extra usage cannot be bought.
