Recently, “raising lobsters” has gone from a geeky niche to the mainstream—and more and more people are starting to wonder: what practical things can AI agents actually help me do?

If you’ve been asking the same question, today’s answer might be interesting: using AI to assist with investing.

Moomoo has just launched a brand-new feature—Moomoo Skill—that connects Moomoo’s real-time market data and trading functions directly to AI tools like Claude and ChatGPT.

You can talk to AI in Chinese, and it can help you check quotes, analyze data, and even practice buying and selling in a simulated account—no investing knowledge required, no coding skills needed. It’s as easy as sending a message. Of course, you still control whether any trade gets placed, so there are built-in safety protections.

So what exactly can Moomoo Skill do? A few examples should make it clear right away.

What can it help investors do?

Example 1: You see a news headline and want context, but don’t know where to look

Have you ever had this feeling? You see news like “The Fed is meeting today” or “Tech stocks are rallying,” and you have a vague sense it matters to you—but you have no idea how to react or even who to ask.

With Moomoo Skill, you can ask AI directly in Chinese:

  • “The Fed has been talking about cutting rates recently. How would that affect me if I want to buy U.S. stocks?”
  • “Is Nvidia still worth buying right now?”
  • “Gold has gone up so much lately—what’s driving it?”

The AI can pull Moomoo’s real-time data directly and explain current market conditions and related analysis in plain language. You don’t need to dig through The Wall Street Journal yourself, and you don’t need to understand English research reports. You can get answers as easily as asking a friend.

  • View the latest news
  • Screen stocks

Example 2: You want to try AI-assisted investing, but you’re hesitant

A lot of people never get started because of one big concern: what if I buy and the stock drops right away?

Moomoo has a simulated account funded with virtual money. It works just like a real account, but losses don’t sting. You can tell AI:

“I want to try buying Nvidia. Help me buy 5 shares in a simulated account and let’s see what happens over the next week.”

The AI can carry that out in the paper trading account, and you can watch the account value move up and down. It gives you a real feel for what it’s like to own stocks, with no actual money at risk. Once you’re comfortable, you can decide whether to invest real money later.

Example 3: You’re busy with work and don’t have time to watch the market every day

Your situation: you know investing takes time and research, but work already keeps you busy enough. You simply don’t have the energy to watch stock prices every day, let alone keep up with market sentiment around individual names.

How to use Moomoo Skill here: you can hand off the job of “watching the market” to AI and just tell it what you want:

“What’s the current sentiment around NVDA in the community—bullish or bearish?”

The AI can monitor this for you 24/7 and tell you what overall market sentiment looks like right now. You don’t have to read through tons of posts yourself—Moomoo can give you the answer directly and help you understand the market mood more clearly.

Are there safety protections?

When you connect your account to AI, your first reaction is probably: could it mess with my money?

The reassuring part is this: Moomoo Skill operates in a simulated account by default, so the AI can’t touch your real funds. If you want to switch to live trading, you have to manually unlock it yourself + enter your password, and every real trade requires your confirmation again. The AI can only act within the instructions you give it—it has no way to bypass your own decision-making.

You can also open a separate sub-account with limited funds just for AI strategies. Even if something goes wrong, your main account would not be affected.

How do I get started?

After setup, open the AI tool you normally use (Claude, ChatGPT, etc.), send it a message in Chinese, and you’re ready to start. You can begin with a simulated account, chat with AI in Chinese, and ask it any investing questions you want. Once you get comfortable, you can gradually start building your own investing strategy.

After trying it out, I don’t think this feature is only useful for people who already trade stocks. In fact, the opposite may be true: if you’ve wanted to start investing but didn’t know how to take the first step, this feature may be an even better fit for you—it helps lower the barrier to getting started with investing.
