Natural language stock screener. Find stocks by describing what you want. ⏱️ Time to read: 4 minutes 📱🌐 Platform: Both iOS & Web 👤 Best for: Everyone

​
🎯 What are Themes?

Themes are custom stock lists created using natural language. Instead of complex screening criteria, just describe what you want. Think of them as:
  • Smart stock lists
  • Natural language screener
  • Custom watchlists on steroids
  • AI-powered stock collections
Instead of: “Filter by P/E < 15 AND Revenue Growth > 20% AND Market Cap > $10B” Just say: “Find me undervalued tech stocks with strong growth” AI understands and creates the list.

​
💡 How Themes Work

​
Traditional Stock Screener:

1. Choose filters (P/E, Market Cap, Sector...)
2. Set values (P/E < 15, Market Cap > $10B...)
3. Apply filters
4. Get results
5. Save as watchlist
Time: 10-15 minutes. Hard to use.

​
Ape AI Themes:

1. Describe what you want in plain English
2. AI creates the theme
3. Get results instantly
Time: 30 seconds. Easy. That’s the power of natural language.
