Desk Twin
Studio twin: answers only from our guides, articles and service pages
Premium featuresFor members only. Runs on your own data, not in the public demo.
Set up for independent traders and solo founders. Below is the routine I take on for this desk. Pick a card above or a shortcut below, or type / for the rest. Behind me, a router agent sends each job to a specialist agent, and a compliance agent runs eight advice checks before you see a word. The demo runs on sample data.

Three things an agency will not say
01
If a language model writes your summaries straight from a prompt, it has almost certainly told a client to consider buying, and you have no log that proves otherwise. Paste one of its sentences into the wording check on our How it works page. If it is blocked, you have your answer.
02
Most charting projects should be a library, not custom code, and most AI features should wait until the data under them is clean. The Platform Review ends in "do not build this" about as often as it ends in a plan. The fee is the same either way, and so is the report.
03
Signal services sold to retail traders, products that make investment decisions without the permissions to do so, back-tests dressed up as expected returns. We have said no to each of them, and we will again.

Questions
No. AlchmAI is a technology company. We build software for businesses that operate in financial markets. We do not give investment advice, publish trading signals or manage money for anyone. When we build AI features for clients, we design them to describe market data rather than recommend trades, and our clients stay responsible for their own regulatory permissions.
Our AI twin of a trading desk: one point of contact for the work around your trading. Say a job once and it becomes a regular task, run on a schedule or with a one-word shortcut, across your platform, calendar, email and data feeds, with your approval before anything leaves. The version on this site answers from our guides and service pages; sample answers are open to everyone and your own questions are invite-only while in beta. Independent traders can join the beta, and firms can put one in their platform. It never gives trading advice.
Yes, for prop firms and independent traders. For prop firms, rule engines that check every account on every tick and keep the evidence. For independent traders, a strategy you have already defined, turned into code with a loss stop and a kill switch. We never design the strategy, run it on anyone's account or promise returns.
Live by day 90, or we keep working free: If the feature is not live in your platform by day 90, we keep working at no cost until it is, provided access and reviews on your side happen on the dates in the plan. Your compliance lead sets the rules first: If they will not sign the wording policy at day 30, stop there and pay only for the Platform Review. If the finished feature meets the policy they signed, we fix anything at no charge until they sign it off. Advice-like wording is our problem: Advice-like phrasing, price targets and predictions are blocked before display and every output is logged. For 12 months after go-live, anything that gets through is fixed at no charge. We guarantee delivery, sign-off and controls. We never guarantee trading results, and nothing we build tells a client what to trade. The full terms are written into the proposal that follows your Platform Review.
Signal services and copy-trading products, Unregulated education products that hand out price targets, Firms that want AI to recommend trades. The guarantee also assumes a named compliance lead on your side, in-house or outsourced, and a charting library in place or licensable. Without those, the AI Wording Guard or the Platform Review on its own is the better start. Under 5 staff, or not yet regulated? Start with the Platform Review.
Every engagement starts with a two-week Platform Review. We take read-only access to your charts, data feeds and any AI feature, test them against what your clients actually see, and hand you a findings report, a costed plan and, where it helps, a working prototype. Fixed price, agreed before we start, and credited in full against a build that begins within 60 days. The report is yours whichever way you go. Independent traders skip the review: we agree a written spec and a fixed quote instead.
The Platform Review is a fixed price, agreed before we start and credited against a build that begins within 60 days. Build work is quoted from the plan the review produces, so you know the number before you commit to anything larger. We are happy to talk figures on the first call.
You do. We hand over the repositories, infrastructure code and documentation, and we avoid building on anything that would tie you to us.
