Key takeaways

The short version.

  • Political posts can affect prediction markets you follow, and you often learn about it late.
  • PoliticalPredictions.APP watches public political posts around the clock and flags the markets you follow that could be affected.
  • Alerts reach you by text, email, or your favorite AI; a personal AI like Instinct or Muse is the natural fit.
  • Ask about any post, event, or market anytime on the free plan; timed risk windows and policy-impact maps are Premium, which is free during the beta.
  • The app is informational only. It never places bets or touches your wallet.

Who it is for

Why do I always hear about a political post after the market has moved?

  • Here is the problem.

  • Even when you do catch the post, the harder question is which of your markets it touches.

  • PoliticalPredictions.APP is built for people who follow prediction markets and want to know what a political post could mean for them.

Here is the problem. A public figure posts something short, and within minutes people are trading on it. If you follow prediction markets, you may not see the post until a friend mentions it or you happen to open a feed. By then the price you cared about may already have shifted.

Even when you do catch the post, the harder question is which of your markets it touches. A post about a shipping route may look like a foreign policy story, but it can matter for markets that depend on oil prices. Connecting the dots by hand, across every market you follow, is slow and easy to get wrong.

PoliticalPredictions.APP is built for people who follow prediction markets and want to know what a political post could mean for them. It watches public political posts around the clock and tells your AI assistant which of your markets could move. It is informational only: it never places bets and never touches your wallet. What you do with the information is up to you.

Use cases

4 ways people use Political news vs. market reaction: a timeline guide.

  1. Post alert

    1. A post lands while you are away from your screen

    Situation: you follow a few markets and you are in a meeting, asleep, or simply offline. A political post goes out that could matter to one of them.

    What the alert tells you: the app flags the post and says which of the markets you follow may be affected. For example, a post saying a major shipping route has reopened could be flagged for markets tied to oil prices.

    What you do next: read the alert when you are free, then decide whether the post changes how you view your markets. The app only reports. It makes no trades for you.

  2. Which markets?

    2. You want to know which markets a post touches

    Situation: you see a headline and wonder whether it matters to anything you follow. Checking each market one by one takes time.

    What the alert tells you: ask your AI about the post and it can list which of your markets may react and why each could move. Asking about any post, event, or market is available anytime on the free plan.

    What you do next: open the markets that were flagged and review them, rather than hunting through all of them.

  3. Timed windows

    3. You are lining up the timeline of a news cycle

    Situation: a story is developing and you want to understand when reactions might show up, not only whether they will.

    What the alert tells you: Premium adds timed risk windows, which point to when a post could matter for your markets. Premium is free during the beta.

    What you do next: use the windows to decide when to check back on your markets, and compare what you saw with what happened.

  4. Policy map

    4. You want the bigger policy picture

    Situation: a single post may hint at a wider policy change, and you want to see which areas it could reach.

    What the alert tells you: Premium also adds policy-impact maps, which help you see how a policy topic connects to the markets you follow.

    What you do next: use the map as a starting point for your own research. It is information to read, not advice.
