AgentSmyth's platform covers 58,200 equities, with an average

demonstrates the market's appetite for smarter, faster insights,"
said Pulkit Jaiswal, Co-CEO of AgentSmyth. "Our platform is

Diverse Offerings Catering to Active and Passive
Customers
AgentSmyth's two main offerings—AgentSmyth All-Access and Silver
Bullets—are seeing strong adoption, catering to both active traders
seeking in-depth analysis and passive customers who prefer concise,
actionable insights delivered directly to their inboxes.
"Our diverse product suite was designed to meet the unique needs
of different market participants," said Mike Block, COO of
AgentSmyth. "Whether it's comprehensive analysis or quick,
actionable insights, we're delivering value across the

Empowered by SEC Registration
The company's momentum is further accelerated by its recent
approval as an SEC-registered investment advisor. This regulatory
milestone allows AgentSmyth to onboard paid clients while
delivering real-time, actionable trade recommendations, ensuring
compliance and transparency.
"SEC registration was a critical step in our mission to
democratize access to advanced market intelligence," added Mike
Block, COO of AgentSmyth. "It enables us to scale our offerings
responsibly while meeting the stringent requirements expected by
our institutional clients."
