Conviction
Consumer agentic trading from plain-language ideas through users' own brokers
Conviction is a San Francisco consumer app from Y Combinator's Summer 2025 batch that converts a user's plain-language trading idea into explicit rules, backtests and paper-trades it, then deploys it as an agent trading through the user's existing brokerage. Supported instruments include stocks, ETFs and prediction markets.
GAII take
Competes with Catalyst for retail agentic trading; routing through users' own brokers lowers licensing burden but limits execution control.
