Two ways to make your own

1. Build it here

Answer a few quick questions below, then copy your personal prompt into your AI assistant.

2. Or just send your agent the link

Your agent reads the play and asks you the questions itself. Nothing else to do here.

Build me my own version of this app using the starter pack at https://appspaces.ai/plays/morning-ticker-62uoj. Ask me the personal questions first.

Works in Muse Spaces, ChatGPT Sites, Claude Artifacts, Gemini Canvas and more.

Skip any. The brief will tell your assistant to ask you first.

What do you follow?
How many tickers?
When do you want the brief?
What should flag as a big move?

Build a personal daily stock tracker that writes a short AI summary of the user's watchlist every morning.

SETUP
- The user adds tickers to a watchlist (e.g. AAPL, MSFT). Each ticker can have a note (e.g. why it is held).
- No account or login needed. Data lives on the device, saved automatically.

DAILY BRIEF
- Every morning before the market opens, the app writes a short plain-English brief: what moved yesterday, why (the news behind each move), and what to watch today.
- The brief covers only the user's watchlist plus the broad market (S&P 500 and Nasdaq) for context.
- The brief is generated from that day's fetched prices and headlines. It never invents a reason for a move; if no news explains a move, it says so plainly.
- Each claim in the brief links to its source (quote page or news article).

WATCHLIST
- Each ticker shows: current or last price, day change in dollars and percent, and a 30-session sparkline.
- Tap a ticker for detail: session range, 52-week range, market cap, volume.
- Any ticker moving 5% or more in a session gets a big-move flag and appears in an alert strip. The threshold is adjustable.
- Add or remove tickers any time. A symbol is checked against the quote source before it is added; if the source does not cover it, the app says so plainly instead of showing stale or invented data.

DATA
- Prices come from a free quote source that needs no API key. Quotes are delayed (typically about 15 minutes); the app labels them as delayed and shows the as-of time.
- News comes from the quote source's per-ticker headlines, or a free financial news feed.
- Refresh runs every morning before the open, plus whenever the user opens the app with stale data or taps Refresh.

RULES
- Never invent prices, news, or reasons for a move. Only fetched data appears.
- The brief is a summary, not advice. The app never recommends buying, selling, or holding.
- Works offline for previously fetched data; new prices need a connection.

DESIGN
- Clean, broadsheet style: the brief reads like a front page, the watchlist below it like a table.
- Mobile-first. Day changes shown with color and a sign (+/-), not color alone.

OUT OF SCOPE (do not build)
- Trading, buying, or selling.
- Financial advice or recommendations.
- Real-time tick data or options data.
- Portfolio accounting across brokers (holdings, cost basis, taxes).

ACCEPTANCE CHECKS
- Add a ticker; it appears with a price, day change, and sparkline.
- The morning brief is written from real prices and headlines, with source links, and says plainly when no news explains a move.
- A ticker moving 5% or more is flagged and appears in the alert strip.
- Change the alert threshold; flags follow the new threshold.
- Try adding a ticker the quote source does not cover; the app refuses it with a plain message.
- Close and reopen; the watchlist and the latest brief are still there.
