Most AI waits for you to ask

A chatbot answers when you think to ask, and by then the news is old and the price has moved. Tellwhen works the other way round.
Tell it once what matters, and it speaks first.

Watch for anything

If you can say it in a sentence, you can get an email when it happens.

Know what moves your stocks

Name the companies you hold and what would change your mind, like a deal falling through, a lost customer or new guidance. We email you when it happens.

Never miss a paper in your field

Describe the problem you work on in your own words. New papers and conference news are checked against what you said matters.

Follow funding rounds above your bar

Set the bar in your own words, like over $100M. Smaller rounds, rumors and old news are left out.

Hear about openings at the companies you want

Name the companies and the kind of role. When a new one is posted, you'll know.

Know when big companies cut jobs

Name the companies, or a group like big tech. When one announces layoffs, you'll know.

Anything you can put in a sentence

Say what you'd hate to miss, in your own words, and we'll keep watch.

We read over a hundred newsrooms, regulators and research feeds, and search the web for each alert.

Hi, I'm Zanwen

I buy stocks, but I don't have time to follow the news every day.

Last year I spotted a company early, then missed its IPO. This year bad news hit it. I missed that too, and didn't sell in time.

So I built Tellwhen. Tell it what matters to you, and you won't miss it again.

Before this: VYNN AI, Robinhood, AutoCodeRover (acquired by Sonar) and Binance.

What are you waiting for?

Email Tellwhen today and never FOMO again.
