Two major product highlights
1. Futubull AI “Expert” Mode — Professional-level research through conversation
In the past, producing high-quality sector analysis and expert insights required days of sifting through financial statements, integrating data, and building models. Now, with Futubull AI’s “Expert” mode, it only takes a few minutes. Powered by the new Agentic + Skills architecture, Futubull AI has a complete cognitive loop of decomposing the problem, planning a path, invoking tools, reflecting and validating, and outputting conclusions.
Futubull AI can integrate real-time financial data with professional interpretation tools, even when investors ask highly complex questions such as “Does Hong Kong’s semiconductor sector target offer alpha opportunities using options strategies or require comparative analysis across multiple markets and asset classes under the current macro environment?” No longer just a chatbot, Futubull AI is a 24/7 industry expert.
In a significant breakthrough in trade execution, Futubull AI’s “Expert” mode enables natural language order entry, understanding a user’s investment intent and accurately translating it into trading commands. During the conversation, investors can complete stock, option, and ETF trades using simple language without switching interfaces.
The soon-to-be-released Futubull AI + Algo feature lowers the barrier to quantitative trading, allowing any investor to transform strategic ideas into actionable strategies without writing a single line of code.
2. Open Ecosystem — No-code functionality with multi-layered security architecture: Mobilize a team of AI financial experts with a single sentence
Futu packages years of deep expertise in market data, trading, stock selection, and derivatives into Futu Skills and MCPs (Model Context Protocols), giving investors and developers the flexibility to invoke them within standard AI agents available in the market.
Investors are free to choose and combine a variety of functional modules based on their personal investment style and needs, from quantitative smart stock selection and real-time portfolio risk monitoring to multidimensional market analysis and full market execution. This allows you to build your own personal research team using a simple language as a unified command to coordinate collaboration across your team. Multi-strategy, multi-expert collaboration models that were once available only to major hedge funds are now available to general investors.
Futu recognizes that as AI becomes increasingly integrated into trade execution, investor concerns about privacy and capital security must remain a top priority, and Futu is committed to providing powerful and responsible AI products to all investors. To address these concerns, Futu AI has established multiple layers of protection. That means a default simulated environment to ensure strategies are tested before execution, a password protection mechanism that strictly separates the AI from live trading, and end-to-end encryption to protect your data and prevent information leaks. All sensitive data is processed locally, ensuring that customer information and trading environments operate under the highest security standards.
