Kavout is a Seattle-based AI investment research platform that gives retail traders and self-directed investors access to institutional-grade equity analysis across 11,000+ stocks, ETFs, and crypto assets. The platform's signature product is the Kai Score—a machine-learning-generated rating from 1 to 9 that synthesizes fundamental data (valuation, financial health, earnings trends), technical indicators (price action, momentum, trend strength), and alternative data (institutional interest, market sentiment, insider activity) into a single, easy-to-interpret ranking. Higher Kai Scores (7-9) signal strong outperformance potential; lower scores (1-3) indicate likely underperformance. Crucially, Kai Scores update dynamically as new market data arrives, including an intraday version in Market Movers for real-time tracking.
Beyond the Kai Score, the platform's centerpiece is InvestGPT—a 24/7 conversational AI research agent that lets users query stock fundamentals, valuations, technical signals, news sentiment, and multi-asset comparisons in plain English. Specialized sub-agents handle Swing Trade Analysis, Trading Signals QuickView, Fundamental Analysis, Market Outlook (global momentum by region), and Smart Money Intelligence (insider trades, congressional trades, guru holdings, analyst consensus). Additional modules include an AI Stock Picker, Smart Signals (100+ pre-built screens), and a Portfolio Toolbox with factor-based building and optimization on the Premium plan.
Kavout was founded in 2016 and has raised $7.8M in funding from China Growth Capital, Glory Ventures, and FinCon. Pricing spans a Free tier (10 research credits/month, basic InvestGPT), Pro at $16/month (1,000 credits, 7 AI agents, Smart Money, Smart Signals), and Premium at $39/month (3,000 credits, Portfolio Builder, Portfolio Optimization). A Max tier for power users and institutional API access is also available. The Kai Score was overhauled with custom user-configurable weighting in early 2025, and multi-language support across 13 languages makes Kavout one of the more globally accessible AI investment platforms.
