Positioning piece that compares WarrenAI, robo‑advisors, and institutional tools, and explains why Bubble wants to be the missing AI financial coach in between.
In a market saturated with promises, three archetypes share the space. Mass-market AI assistants, like Investing.com's WarrenAI, shine through their data breadth and analysis quality, with over 1,200 fundamental metrics and coverage of more than 72,000 instruments according to their launch announcements.[1][2][3] They answer, compare, contextualize. Then, when it's time to act, the conversation stops: you must switch to another platform to execute. Some WarrenAI pages also mention usage quotas on the free tier, which limits the depth of exchange for beginner profiles.[4]
Robo-advisors, conversely, take control. Betterment typically charges 0.25% of assets under management annually for its "Digital" offering, with a Premium plan at 0.65% above $100,000; below $20,000 without recurring deposits, fixed fees of $4/month may apply.[5][6] Wealthfront communicates 0.25% for the "Automated Investing Account," and free for the "Stock Investing" account outside AUM, while specifying that held ETFs carry their own management fees.[7][8] Everything is clean and "taken care of." Except the explanation: the mechanics remain largely opaque for most clients, and the percentage fee mechanically climbs with success. At €50,000 invested, 0.25% represents ≈ €125 per year; at €500,000, the absolute cost is multiplied by ten for a similar service.
Finally, professional suites like BlackRock Aladdin or FactSet embody excellence: analytical depth, rigorous workflows, powerful integrations. But these environments are designed for dedicated teams, require sustained training, and remain financially out of reach for most individual investors.
Between these poles remains a blind spot. What's missing is a tool that explains before acting, that builds with the investor rather than "on" them, and that accompanies execution without taking a percentage of gains. This is precisely where Bubble Invest positions itself.
💡 Our thesis
A clear fixed price (order of magnitude: €10–20/month), an AI agent always available and contextualized, and integrated pedagogy that exposes allocation reasons, rebalancing logic, and adaptation rules. AI serves to reduce information asymmetry, not exploit it.
Concretely, we want to make accessible a sophistication currently reserved for expert tools. Rather than opposing "basic ETFs" and "stock-picking," we assemble multiple strategies, articulated by an explainable, inspectable, and audited quantitative logic.
Why now? Because trust is earned through aligned incentives and calculation transparency. Value shifts from performative opacity toward understandable accompaniment. A coach who stays, explains, and adjusts is worth more than a consultant who vanishes or a silent manager.
To make this promise verifiable, we will publish regular traces: decision audit log, register of "refused temptations," methodology notes on rebalancing and its implicit costs, and assumption updates.
🤝 Our positioning: the AI Financial Coach
We are neither the consultant who leaves you to act alone, nor the manager who acts without explaining. We are your AI coach who:
- Understands your complete financial situation
- Explains the best strategies in simple language
- Helps build them step by step
- Remains available to adjust when your situation evolves
- Costs a fixed price, not a % of your gains
By the numbers: annual cost comparison Invested assets: €50,000 Betterment (0.25%): €125 per year Wealthfront (0.25%): €125 per year Bubble (€10–20/month): €120–240 per year
Invested assets: €500,000 Betterment (0.25%): €1,250 per year Wealthfront (0.25%): €1,250 per year Bubble (€10–20/month): €120–240 per year
At €500k in assets, percentage-of-AUM models cost 5 to 10 times more than a flat subscription. The gap widens over time: the more your wealth grows, the more you pay — even if the service stays the same.
Why this approach seems right to us
- The industry has prospered on information asymmetry; AI democratizes knowledge
- We don't promise to beat the market or predict the future
- We give you the power to act at minimal cost in natural language
The invitation
We're building the solution we wish we had. If WarrenAI's limits frustrate you, robo-advisors' opacity annoys you, or professional tools are too expensive, you're our audience. Share your desires and feedback with us.
