1. Inability to Access In-Platform Portfolio Data: The AI assistant's primary job should be interacting with my portfolio stored inside Portfolio Pilot, yet it cannot even read my data. It continuously asks for a "portfolio ID" without explaining where to find it. When viewing my Net Worth Portfolio, no ID exists, creating a frustrating loop where the AI insists it needs information that the interface does not provide. 2. Lack of File Uploads & External Integration: Mainstream AI tools allow users to upload spreadsheets, screenshots, and documents. On Portfolio Pilot, I cannot upload a screenshot or document to bypass internal data limitations (e.g., sharing fund allocations that your own AI fails to pull from your system). Furthermore, the AI cannot cross-reference external benchmarks, Morningstar ratings, Zacks ratings, or institutional macro research (such as BCA or NDR). 3. Lack of Voice/Dictation Input Support: Unlike platforms where I can dictate prompts directly, Portfolio Pilot requires typing out lengthy questions manually, making interaction tedious and inefficient. 4. Subscriber Data Retention & Downgrade Friction: When canceling or downgrading a Platinum subscription to a free tier, users are forced to export their portfolio to a spreadsheet. If a user wants to resubscribe next year to rebalance, Portfolio Pilot does not retain their portfolio configuration—requiring them to manually rebuild their entire portfolio from scratch. 5. Product Value & Marketing Alignment: Given past legal and regulatory scrutiny surrounding financial platform advertising disclosures, offering a stripped-down AI product feels like tacking on AI strictly as a marketing bullet point rather than delivering genuine utility to paying subscribers. Subscribers paying for a premium tier expect an AI capable of evaluating fund allocations against rating systems (e.g., Morningstar Gold or Zacks Best Buy) and macro frameworks. I hope your product team addresses these functional flaws and data integration gaps in future updates.

Concept seems good however the process of determining the right products and ideal portfolio is complicated. Loading in existing financial assets was also confusing.

I canceled my subscription. I have been waiting for months to get my refund. Have gotten nothing but the run around. Company refuses to send me a physical check that I requested since they cant seem to get the funds back to my debit card. So frustrating !. To be fair - once the issue was escalated, I received a full refund.

I love the platform’s intent; it fills a huge vacuum in the industry. However, the interface and ease of use need further refinement for the platform to fulfill its potential. Excited to see how things evolve.

Importing accounts was not smooth. Had to delete and reconnect accounts several times to get it to work. System did not initially recognize several Fortune 500 ticker symbols. Getting portfolio recommendations is slow (system thinks for a long time). I like the idea and would see value, but not sure I would use it due to the slowness of the system. Recommendations could use some context - I like how Grok3 gives the play by play of what it is thinking and how it comes to it's conclusions. I recommend incorporating some of that in the recommendations. Instead of just recommending one ETF, maybe tell the story of others that were considered and why they weren't chosen.

Some of the overall portfolio recommendations are at odds with individual portfolio recommendations. Additionally, the values for the linked accounts don't sync as accurately after the initial upload. Time will tell if the recommendations are effective. But, I have a more balanced, risk adjusted portfolio - so, I'm hopeful.

The concept is fabulous. The time to run an iteration is too long. Reminds me of the days of dial up. Could be much much faster. Then, if the portfolio actually worked as intended is another question I can’t answer yet.

The interface is too busy. Basic stocks are not listed. Corning (GLW) and DNP Select Income is not available. Both have been around for 20+ years. I like the idea, but the execution needs work.
