Co-Invest - Trade 500+ markets directly from ChatGPT & Claude

Hi Product Hunt! 👋

I’m Franklyn Wang, founder and CEO of Liquid.

Before starting Liquid, I led AI for Macro at Two Sigma, working at the intersection of machine learning and markets. Before that, I was Harvard’s top-ranked math student twice.

One thing became clear throughout my career:

The best investors don’t win because they’re lucky.

They win because they have better information, process it faster, and execute with more precision.

For decades, that edge has mostly belonged to professionals.

Professional investors have had:

• Better data

• Faster research workflows

• More sophisticated models

• Real-time market intelligence

• Direct execution infrastructure

Everyone else was guessing, or stitching together fragmented workflows.

That’s what we’re changing with Co-Invest: the first way to trade inside AI assistants like Claude.

Co-Invest gives everyone access to the kind of investing workflow that used to be reserved for professionals:

• Superior information, including on-chain data like positioning

• Superior data processing, powered by frontier AI

• Superior execution through Liquid, with some of the lowest fees available

Instead of just reading about markets, you can ask questions, analyze opportunities, build conviction, and act — all through conversation.

Co-Invest lets you:

• Access real-time market and on-chain intelligence

• Construct portfolios according to any criteria, from risk profile to values

• Process complex data faster with AI

• Execute trades directly from chat

• Access 500+ markets, including crypto, equities, FX, commodities, and prediction markets

• Trade 24/7

Why we built it:

In high school, I was struck by the idea of rational ignorance: because humans have limited time and limited ability to process information, it can be rational not to know things. Sometimes, the cost of becoming informed is higher than the benefit.

I hated that idea.

As a math-obsessed kid who craved perfect rationality, the notion that ignorance could be produced by the system — not just by the individual — felt like surrender.

As I grew older, I saw how expensive that ignorance was.

Finance, at its root, is about asymmetric information. One side of every transaction knows something the other side does not.

An influencer pumps a stock to followers, then exits at the top. A scammer convinces a retiree to wire away her life savings. A brokerage auctions off the right to trade against your order. A market maker pays for the right to see your order before it fills.

Some of this is illegal. Some of it is legal. But every example has the same shape:

Wealth flowing from the less sophisticated to the more sophisticated.

Modern finance is very good at making that happen.

Co-Invest is our attempt to change the equation by giving everyone access to superior intelligence, better information, and better execution.

Who it’s for:

• Investors who want better research and execution

• Traders managing opportunities across multiple markets

• AI-native users who already spend their day inside assistants like Claude

• Anyone who wants access to a more professional-grade investing workflow

Our vision:

At Liquid, we’re building toward an AI-native financial system accessible to everyone, everywhere.

Our first product, the Liquid mobile app, gives people access to every market. Co-Invest pairs universal market access with universal intelligence.

That combination — universal markets plus universal intelligence — is incredibly powerful, and we’re just scratching the surface it.

We believe the next generation of investors won’t be limited by who has the biggest team, the most terminals, or the most infrastructure.

They’ll be empowered by AI.

Co-Invest is our first step toward making professional-grade investing capabilities available to everyone.

If you try it, I’d love your feedback:

• Which markets, brokers, or exchanges should we support next?

• What’s the biggest bottleneck in your investing workflow today: information, conviction, execution, or risk management?

Thank you for checking out Co-Invest and supporting our launch.

Looking forward to answering your questions in the comments.

Franklyn, congrats on the launch!

Love how you brought the terminal into the chat interface! I'm curious about trade confirmations though.

Are you use a UI modal before execution to prevent accidental trades, or do you handle risk entirely with plain-language constraints in the chat?

Interesting

since you are offering 500+ markets across crypto, equities, FX, commodities and prediction markets, which asset class exposed the biggest technical challenge in terms of data normalization is it the fragmentation of on chain data across different blockchains or the regulatory complexity around executing equities inside a conversational AI?

Built a Kalshi prediction market trading agent and Alpaca equity agent from scratch - so curious about the execution layer here. Alpaca gives developers raw API access to build their own logic. Co-Invest seems to be positioning as the consumer-facing version of that same idea. How are you thinking about the power user who wants to automate recurring strategies versus the casual trader who just wants to ask Claude what to buy? Those feel like pretty different products

What safety precautions do you have, like confirmation steps and limits, so a bad prompt can’t accidentally execute a huge trade?

for an AI native user who already spends their entire day inside Claude for work, research and coding, how does Co Invest change the marginal cost of checking a market hypothesis do you see users moving from I will look at that later to acting on ideas immediately because the friction from curiosity to execution has dropped so dramatically?

How does Co-Invest handle position sizing, portfolio correlation and risk management across multiple markets can i ask it to never allocate more than 3% of my total capital to any single prediction market outcome, and if two of my positions are correlated above 0.7, warn me before I add a third and have it enforce those rules conversationally?
