Project Overview

Penny is an intelligent portfolio assistant application designed to help individual investors track, analyze, and optimize their portfolios. The system combines data-driven insights and artificial intelligence technology to provide personalized advice based on users' financial goals, risk preferences, and market trends.

In the field of personal finance, ordinary investors often face challenges of information overload and decision-making difficulties. Penny lowers the barrier to investment analysis through AI technology, enabling non-professional users to access intelligent portfolio management services.
