Volaren launches AI agent that explains and trades brokerage portfolios

Volaren, a startup that raised $1M from Y Combinator and Afore, introduces an AI agent that connects to users' existing brokerage accounts, explains portfolio moves and suggests trades, according to a post by Elvis Saravia on X. Saravia says trades are placed only after the user approves them.

The agent is available through web, app or text message, and can copy trades from top investors and politicians.

A second X post by Rohan Paul describes the app as one that watches holdings, texts users when a decision is needed, and can trade on their behalf, and says the founders are former Goldman Sachs and AQR staff. That post adds that other fees may apply and points users to Volaren's website and disclosures. It does not say whether trades require approval, which conflicts with Saravia's account.
