Key Details
Autopilot is still a very small and relatively untapped app, with few notable endorsements or product reviews online. Its concept of being able to copy the trades of successful investors has attracted a small audience to the app, who consider it a promising vision for a new way to invest.
The current implementation of the app does have something of a Meme-able edge to it. Many of the major investors named in the app are investment jokes, such as Nancy Pelosi’s title page labeling her “the queen of insider trading.”
One of the profiles it offers is “Inverse Cramer,” which takes advantage of the online joke that CNBC Mad Money host Jim Cramer constantly makes erroneous financial predictions and inverses his decisions. The app claims that users who do the opposite of what he does can make consistent positive returns.
It also allows users to follow the decisions of prominent investors like Warren Buffett, Michael Burry, and Citadel Securities. It allows users to connect their brokerage accounts to the app, such as Robinhood, TD Ameritrade, and Webull.
