What Rub does that other tools don't.
AI assistants are general. Data platforms give you raw inputs to read yourself. Institutional terminals are priced for trading desks. Brokerages handle execution. Rub is the part that scores stocks, grades portfolios, and builds strategies, personalized to how you invest, whether the money is yours or a client's.
Rub works with the tools you already use.
Keep researching wherever you like and executing in your broker. Rub is the step in between. By the time you place the trade, you know what you are doing and why.

How Rub compares.
Here is what each kind of tool does well, where it stops, and where Rub fits in.
AI assistants
ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity- Good at
- Open-ended research and plain-language answers on almost anything.
- What it does not do
- No live market data, no scoring engine, and no memory of your portfolio or alerts.
- Where Rub fits
- Data-driven, peer-benchmarked scores you can act on, not a language-model guess.
Charting and data platforms
TradingView, Koyfin, Seeking Alpha- Good at
- Deep charting, broad data coverage, and strong editorial research.
- What it does not do
- They give you raw data to interpret yourself, with no personalized score or portfolio grade.
- Where Rub fits
- It turns the same inputs into one score and one grade, and shows the reasoning.
Institutional terminals
Bloomberg and peers- Good at
- The professional standard, with enormous depth and breadth.
- What it does not do
- Built for trading desks, with the cost and learning curve to match.
- Where Rub fits
- Institutional-grade signals in a workflow a small team can run.
Brokerages
Robinhood, Schwab, Fidelity- Good at
- Fast, low-cost execution. This is where the order gets placed.
- What it does not do
- Order entry, not decision support. They show the price, not whether it is worth owning.
- Where Rub fits
- The decision layer that runs before you execute. You still trade wherever you want.
One workflow, from the first signal to the final decision.
