About

Stock AI

Stock AI is an A-share market tracking app by Prajna Intelligence, reimagined with a sci-fi aesthetic. We believe the way market information is presented is itself a capability: when data is organized with the right density, hierarchy and rhythm, an observer can form a coherent read of the market in far less time. To that end, we bring a full cockpit-grade interface language to the phone — a rotating globe rendered in particles, ambient lighting that breathes with market conditions, clipped-corner frames, monospace numerals and a dark instrument surface. MARKET SENTIMENT — THE STATE OF THE MARKET AT A GLANCE The sentiment page answers exactly one question: is the market currently in a Normal, Ebb, or Chaos phase? Each state carries its own color language and breathing glow, and transitions animate smoothly across the entire screen — you can sense the market's temperature without reading a single number. At the center, a globe composed of thousands of particles tours the world's ten major exchanges; as it travels, the corresponding market's benchmark index (name, last price, change) is displayed in sync. MARKET WATCH — THE WHOLE TAPE ON ONE SCREEN Restraint in information architecture, in exchange for reading efficiency: intraday charts of four major indices (with previous-close baseline and live change) arranged as a card grid; advance/decline statistics in large, instantly readable numerals; sector fund flows as horizontal bars for top inflows and outflows; the market-wide main capital curve drawn in two colors around the zero axis; and a watch list sorted by daily change. Every module refreshes automatically on its own cadence. ALPHA DATA — STRUCTURED STRATEGY DATASETS Six strategy datasets are updated daily and presented as structured cards: name, ticker, key metrics and associated concepts. Browse any historical trading day by date; the app automatically locates the most recent trading day with data, so weekends and holidays never leave you with an empty screen. Tap any stock to open its detail page. STOCK / INDEX DETAIL — PROFESSIONAL-GRADE CHARTS The upper half renders the intraday chart in full — call-auction segment, last-price line, average-price reference and turnover bars — refreshing every 60 seconds during trading hours. The lower half presents forward-adjusted daily candlesticks with volume, supporting pinch-to-zoom and pan. Index detail pages share the same charting engine as stocks. PI ASSISTANT — CONVERSATIONAL MARKET INQUIRY PI, the built-in AI assistant, answers informational questions about the market and individual stocks in natural language. It supports multi-turn context, local session saving and history restore (up to 20 recent sessions), Markdown rendering, and exporting a full conversation to image or PDF. The screen stays awake while a reply is being generated, so long answers are never cut off by auto-lock. 7x24 NEWS — A CONTINUOUS FINANCIAL FEED Financial news updates around the clock; new items surface at the top with a subtle highlight, entries are grouped by day, long items expand and collapse, with pull-to-refresh at hand. DESIGN & ENGINEERING Bilingual interface (Chinese / English) that follows the system language by default; a dark theme suite tuned for extended viewing sessions; price colors follow A-share convention (red up, green down). The app is lightweight, with all traffic encrypted over HTTPS. PRIVACY COMMITMENT No registration, no accounts. Your avatar, nickname and profile live only on your device — never collected, never uploaded — and are fully removed when you uninstall. We embed no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
