Field notes
For the investment research agent, the page shows a Bull/Bear split across Gemini and Kimi, a rules gate, and a Claude PM role; its sample run rejects a proposed position despite a passing risk gate. It also presents an Android/iOS reading app that photographs school text and gives a one-character hint when a child gets stuck, alongside a 26-stop family itinerary tool and 20 essays.
