Same engine, different surface
Cala Terminal and AI Investing are built by the same team on the same AI market engine. When you ask either one why a stock moved, both run the same data tools and ground the answer in live API data rather than generated numbers. The difference is not the brain — it is the body around it.
Cala Terminal wraps that engine in a desktop terminal: a multi-window workspace, keyboard-first navigation, and the full set of advanced tools. AI Investing wraps it in a phone-native app designed for speed, glanceability and on-the-go decisions. Think of them as the same analyst working at a trading desk versus answering from your pocket.
Who each is for
Analysts, active traders and serious retail investors who research at a desk and want options flow, dark pool prints, GEX, max pain, congressional trades and SEC filing analysis side by side.
People who mostly want quick prices, watchlists, news and a fast answer on their phone, without a full terminal in front of them.
Cala exposes 90+ tools and a multi-window layout so you can keep charts, filings and flow open at once.
AI Investing keeps the experience light so a market question is a few taps away during the day.
Cala Terminal vs AI Investing, side by side
Cala Terminal is the desktop terminal: a multi-window workspace, real-time data, visible tool_step transparency where each research step is timestamped, plus the heavier tools — options flow, dark pool data, dealer gamma exposure, options max pain, congressional and Senate trade tracking, and SEC filing summaries. It is the surface you want for a deep session.
AI Investing is the mobile everyday app: fast prices, watchlists, news sentiment, alerts and quick AI answers, tuned for a phone. It is the surface you want when you just need to check something or ask one question between meetings.
If you are coming from the mobile side and want the deep-dive view, read the companion piece on the AI Investing blog: AI Investing or Cala Terminal.
