How the explosion of data and AI is breaking the old financial terminal monopoly and creating space for open, modular, AI-native interfaces that serve users, not vendors.

The hardest part of building an OpenBB app isn't writing Python, it's getting the widgets.json spec right, since this spec was invented by us.
Every app requires developers to define widget types, inputs, and configuration options in exactly the right format. The documentation is strong, but it is long-form, which forces you to dig around for the parts you need. That slows down iteration, especially when you just want to get an idea live in OpenBB Workspace.
The rise of health tracking devices has given us unprecedented insight into our daily wellness metrics. But what if you could use that data not just for personal optimization, but for relationship optimization?

Financial assistants structured like ChatGPT are great for quick searches but fall short for comprehensive investment research. They are limited by their one-dimensional approach, which hinders efficient data retrieval and long-term usability. Read on to discover how OpenBB Terminal Pro addresses these issues with a three-dimensional solution.
I can see a future where people use rabbit r1 for very particular use cases where phone is suboptimal. For instance, when multiple people want to interact with said phone (e.g. selecting music at a party without having to give phone away) and that is not ideal due to personal information on phone, or when the phone isn't ideal because it has too many distractions and user wants to focus on doing something (e.g. practicing a presentation using recording session and then asking for feedback).
For the past few weeks, we’ve been working on the OpenBB Copilot, an ever-present financial analyst at your fingertips with the OpenBB Terminal Pro.
