Trade It

After many late nights, we’ve launched Trade It on iOS in USA and Canada - an AI-powered investing app that turns everyday moments into investment opportunities.

The idea sounds wild: you take a photo of something you use or see every day (coffee cup, sneakers, phone), our AI identifies the publicly traded company behind it or recommends a similar one - and you can invest with one swipe (you'd be surprised how many times I had no idea who's behind a product lol)

We also have the first trading MCP server, which lets you trade directly from your favorite chat interface (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, etc) with simple commands like:

“Buy $100 of Apple”
“Sell 1 share of Tesla”

We never take custody of your money, every command is routed to your connected brokerage. We currently support Robinhood, Schwab, ETrade, Webull, Coinbase and Kraken - so yeah you crypto fanatics, you’re covered.

The app is live now on iOS. Taking photos is free, and the first two executed trades are on us. 


Our mission is to make investing as easy as possible, so happy to respond to questions and we would love feedback from the community here.

Alex - Co-Founder Trade It

I’ve lost track of the times I said “I’ll buy later” and missed out—Tesla at $35, Rocket Lab at $5, and plenty more. So we built Trade Agent to turn that spark of an idea into ownership instantly. Wherever you talk about the markets, you can now place the trade—no switching apps, no jargon, no excuses. Investing should be as simple as sending a text, and now it is.

👋 Hey Indie hackers! Alex & Dean here—co-founders of Trade Agent.

We’re thrilled to share the AI agent that speaks your language and executes trades directly in your favorite chat apps. Below is our story and how you can join us in making investing easy and accessible for everyone.

🌱 Why we built it

Dean here. I have missed so many buying opportunities because I got too busy and would “do it later”. I was going to buy Tesla at $35/share; Rocket Lab at $5. The number of times I’ve kicked myself is extensive. So we decided to make it stupid easy to go from lightbulb moment to stock in hand by bringing investing right where the ideas form. Anywhere trading is discussed, trades can now be placed. No more switching apps. No more technical jargon. No more reasons to “do it later”. Investing should be as easy as sending a text to your broker…and now it is.
