How it works
Connect your broker
Link the brokerage you already use, securely and read-only. Your holdings and live prices show up automatically.
Ask AI anything
Chat with Walnut's AI assistant (or Claude / ChatGPT) about your portfolio: performance, risk, what changed, or a stock you're curious about.
Invest with AI
Explore an idea, let AI find the stocks that fit, and invest through your broker. You approve every trade.
Track your progress
See how your investments are doing against the market over time, and what to adjust, all in plain English.
How to think about AI investing apps
Security, what AI investing apps actually do, and how Walnut connects ChatGPT or Claude to your real portfolio.
How secure is Walnut? Is my money safe?
+
Your money stays with your broker, not with Walnut. Walnut never custodies your assets, never holds your funds, and never places trades without your explicit approval. We connect to your broker (Fidelity, Public, Robinhood, Schwab, and others) through SnapTrade, a regulated broker-integration provider, so your brokerage credentials never touch Walnut's servers. If Walnut ever shut down, your positions would still be at your broker, completely untouched. (For the full breakdown, see our 'Is Walnut safe?' guide.)
How can I invest using AI?
+
Sign up for an AI investing app like Walnut, connect your brokerage, and describe what you want to invest in. The AI researches the relevant stocks, suggests how much to put in each, and invests it through your own broker once you approve. You can then ask the AI how it is doing, what to adjust, or to research new ideas, all grounded in your real positions, not generic market commentary.
Can I use ChatGPT or Claude for investing?
+
Yes. Walnut connects ChatGPT and Claude to your real brokerage account so the AI can see your actual holdings, not just generic market data. Add Walnut's MCP connector (its server URL is https://walnutinvest.com/api/connector/mcp) in ChatGPT, Claude, or Codex, sign in with a free Walnut account, and approve read-only access. Then you can ask either AI to analyze your portfolio, research and invest in new ideas, or compare performance, all grounded in your live positions. You still approve any trade.
What is the best AI chat alternative to a robo-advisor?
+
Robo-advisors like Betterment and Wealthfront automate a portfolio and hold your money for you. An AI chat alternative keeps you in control and talks you through decisions on the brokerage you already own. Walnut is built for this: connect your existing broker and analyze and manage your investments by chatting through Claude, ChatGPT, or a built-in assistant, read-only by default with every trade approval-gated. It is the option to know if you want conversation and control instead of hands-off automation.
What is the best app to link a brokerage account to an AI assistant?
+
Walnut is a brokerage-connected AI assistant built for exactly this. You link most major US brokers (Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood, Public, and others), then talk to your real portfolio through ChatGPT, Claude, or a built-in assistant, read-only by default. Rather than keeping the AI inside the app that holds your money, the way Public's Alpha or Robinhood's Cortex do, Walnut lets you bring your own AI assistant and point it at the broker you already use, with every trade approval-gated.
How can I analyze my portfolio with AI?
+
An AI investing app like Walnut connects to your broker and reads your real positions. You can ask Walnut's AI (or Claude / ChatGPT) questions like 'how is my portfolio doing this week?', 'which positions are dragging returns?', or 'am I too concentrated in tech?'. Every answer is grounded in your live portfolio, not stale screenshots.

Your money stays with your broker
Your investments stay at Fidelity, Public, Robinhood, Schwab, or whichever broker you already use. Walnut is the AI layer on top, not a custodian. If it shut down tomorrow, your positions would be untouched.
We never see your credentials
Broker connections go through SnapTrade, a regulated aggregator. Your brokerage password never reaches Walnut's servers.
No trade without your approval
Every order is reviewed and confirmed by you in the Invest dialog. Walnut never trades on your behalf.
If Walnut shuts down, you keep everything
Your positions live at your broker, not at Walnut. Worst case, you stop using us. Nothing else changes.
