Near real-time AI analysis
Fresh market-moving articles are summarized and analyzed into sentiment, importance, symbols, and reasoning for your trading agent.
Influential sources
Use curated financial, business, filing, and press-release sources instead of asking your bot to scan the web manually.
Event filters
Filter for catalysts such as earnings, share buybacks, M&A, product launches, partnerships, and regulatory events.
Price tracking
Capture startPrice with the signal so a trading bot or notebook can test what happened after the news appeared.

Why use it

Spend your AI budget on decisions, not cleanup.

If you are building an AI trading bot or research agent, raw news is expensive context. StockNews.AI gives your workflow a cleaner starting point before your own agent starts reasoning.

Stop wasting LLM tokens on basic sentiment analysis

Your agent should not burn tokens summarizing every article or deciding whether a headline is bullish or bearish. Start with content summary, sentiment, importance, ticker tags, and source context already prepared.

Skip the messy news workflow

No scraping, deduping, source cleanup, ticker matching, or prompt chains just to understand what the article is about.

Give your agent market context, not raw noise

Each signal includes a reason, confidence, source trace, and price-at-event context so your bot can focus on filtering, strategy, and action.

Example agents

A few ways AI agents can use the feed.
