Telescope launches AI Search on tastytrade
Telescope has collaborated with tastytrade, a leading US retail broker, to launch its AI Search tool, Ripple, on the tastytrade platform. The integration brings Ripple’s contextual financial instrument discovery to US retail investors, surfacing relevant instruments including equities, ETFs, options, and futures contracts based on plain-language ideas.
tastytrade is an award-winning online brokerage firm established in 2017 to change the way people invest. Named Best Overall Options Trading Platform 2025 by Investopedia and Best Broker for Dedicated Options Traders 2025 by The Motley Fool, tastytrade empowers investors seeking to actively manage their own money with powerful platforms and educational content for stocks, options, and futures trading.
tastytrade AI Search, for illustrative purposes only
Investors can explore prompts like “defense contractors with semiconductor exposure” or “renewable energy infrastructure in the Midwest” to generate insightful summaries and illustrative lists of related financial instruments supported by publicly available information.
The system reasons through sector classifications, supply chain relationships, geographic locations, and business model characteristics to surface instruments that traditional screeners miss.
Futures contract support
This deployment is the first time Telescope has integrated futures contracts into Ripple’s instrument universe. Ripple’s AI Search on the tastytrade platform understands contract duration, aligning it with the underlying circumstances described by the user.
A query about “agricultural commodities exposed to El Niño weather patterns” demonstrates this capability. Ripple reasons that El Niño episodes typically persist 9-12 months, with agricultural impact lagging weather pattern development. Peak harvest disruptions often materialize in Q2-Q3 of the following year.
For illustrative purposes, queries referencing mid-2026 exposure demonstrate how the system identifies instruments with corresponding contract dates, such as March or May 2026 corn and wheat contracts that capture the critical Northern Hemisphere planting season and early growing conditions, alongside agricultural ETFs and food processing equities.
“AI Search represents a significant advancement in how traders discover financial instruments that fit within given fact patterns or correspond to stated ideas. By translating ideas into relevant instruments across tastytrade’s entire product range, including futures, we’re giving our users a more intuitive way to explore markets and identify potential instruments aligned with their interests.” — AJ Rudolph, Senior Product Manager, at tastytrade
tastytrade sees value in use-case focused AI solutions. Ripple addresses a challenge traders have identifying products that meet specified criterion. Now investors can enter practically any search query, and Ripple leverages Telescope’s Guardrails, to identify products. Ripple provides responsible AI solutions without issuing financial advice.
“We’re proud to partner with tastytrade, whose team has been exceptional to work with throughout this deployment. They understand where AI-powered discovery tools are headed—not as a novelty, but as a fundamental shift in how investors interact with markets.” — Luc Pettett, Founder & CEO, Telescope
