BREAKING: @public Co-CEO Leif Abraham (@leifthunder) Says Their AI Plan is Seriously Working Millions of users, billions in assets, billions in trading volume, + revenue doubling annually Recorded at @NYSE this is one of the more fun chats on finance & how Public is building the next-gen investing platform “for those who take it seriously." Public represents the first modern alternative to Schwab, Fidelity, & Vanguard — platforms built on decades-old infrastructure that haven't kept pace with today's investors or technology. Financial advisors are cooked. Public's difference: - Top 25% of wealth w/ real assets to compound - AI Agents automating investment workflows - "Generated Assets" creating custom indices — defense index up 350% in a month - Multi-asset trading (stocks, crypto, options, bonds - all in one place) 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Leif Abraham, Co-Founder & Co-CEO at Public (01:10) Competing with traditional brokers (03:45) AI agents for investing (05:22) Are Public’s videos AI or real?

@appDevJames @theo @public

@theo Not sure if it has what you need, but @public rocks!

Robinhood refused a buy order, didn't notify me, withdrew my money anyways, and cost me over $10k in lost gains in the last 24 hours. What the hell should I be using instead?

@Opus_Trad3r @public We're not seeing anything systemic. Mind DMing me so I can look into your account specifically?

@public Are you guys having problems? Can't get fills

The number one question I've received since AI Agents launched on @public "But what if the agent does something I don't want?" Fair question. Here's the answer: - You approve every agent before it goes live - Full activity log of every action + every skipped action - Edit, pause, or shut it down any time - Runs on the same regulated, financial-grade infrastructure behind your trades This isn't a black box. It's a glass box.

@DevangAjmera2 @malling @public @leifthunder Sorry about this. We’re aware of the technical issue here and actively working to correct it. We’ll make sure we make you whole, as well.

@malling @public @leifthunder @Sikes_ Urgent help needed. I have been a public premium member for 3+years. Today suddenly I am unable to place trades or close existing positions. The premium support has been useless. I need to close positions by market close today. Please help.

I built a bot that saves money on taxes every single day. No accountant. No spreadsheet. No code. Just an AI agent on @public. Here's exactly how it works 💡

This past week I was able to attend the @public Agents release event. The only thing topping the event itself? The actual product. I’ve been given 10 early access slots to let you try Public agents! Comment below to give it a try! It will be a game changer in your portfolio.

@CalebGregory304 @public Thanks Caleb!

@_ericnomics @public fantastic

@briannekimmel 100%

This is why we need more people building consumer AI that solves real problems for real people. The ability to task an agent with a responsibility ie: find opportunities to make me an extra $5,000 this month. More than half of Americans have less than $8,000 in their bank account. You can read all of the blogs, books, Subreddits, but nothing comes to close having an agent do work for you while you’re busy at your actual job.

This morning I was asleep and my agents on @public executed my buy order based on my criteria. I love this! See below how I have it programmed. I have 10 invites to give away for early access to Public agents, simply reply to this post and SKIP the LINE.

@Liathetrader @public Love it!

@Sikes_ 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Our Agents can do a lot, but one thing they can't do: Use Sports Prediction Markets to hedge your investment portfolio. Because that wouldn't make any sense.

@JasonL_Capital That’s a nice looking app you’re using there

Most people buy naked calls and watch theta eat them alive. Call debit spreads let you go bullish with less capital and defined risk. Here's how they work:

Correction: The competition is offering AI tools… 💀 💀 💀

@matt_kohrs @public 💯💯💯

We’re at a strange inflection point where brokerages like @public are giving retail AI tools to truly compete with Wall Street... while others want you parlaying your retirement on college hoops. Kinda wild.
