## Summary

Volaren, a startup that raised $1M from YC and Afore, introduces an AI agent that connects to brokerage accounts, explains portfolio moves, and suggests trades. Trades are placed only after the user approves them, according to the post. The agent is available via web, app, or text message and can copy trades from top investors and politicians.

## Post

Personal finance is a great test for agents.

Volaren connects to your brokerage accounts and explains what's happening in your portfolio. When it suggests a move, it waits for your approval before placing the order.
