How Cuebit works
Cuebit ties what you need to know to what is really happening in the economy and society. You describe your need in plain English, once. Cuebit reads every event as it breaks, works out what it means and who it moves, and cues you when one meets your need, with a link to the source. Each Cue keeps everything it has caught, so the picture builds as you go. That is your edge: investors and prediction-market traders hear what moves their positions first, and act on their own call before it is priced in. Supporting powerful traders is what Cuebit is for.
In three steps from your words to your inbox
You say what you need to know
“Tell me when the US government declares it will buy or invest in AI.”
Cuebit understands it
What happened, who it moves and which way, and how much it matters.
The Cue reaches you
One short email with what happened and a link to the source.
It reads every event for what it means
Cuebit follows events across the economy and society all day and every day, so nothing depends on you remembering to check. It reads each one in full and works out what really happened: what changed, how much it matters, and the companies it is likely to move and which way, including ones the report never names. That depth is what lets Cuebit match an event to your need with precision.
It matches meaning, not words
This is the heart of Cuebit. Our models weigh every event they understand against your plain-English need, reading for meaning. A Cue for the US government declaring it will invest in AI catches the right event even when the report never uses those words. When what really happened meets what you need to know, that is your Cue.
It sends you the Cue to act
When an event meets your need, Cuebit sends you the Cue: one tight email with what happened, who it moves and which way, plus a link to the source. Maximum information in the fewest words, quick to read and easy to act on while it is still early.
You decide how the Cues land. Take each one the moment its event happens, or gather them into one briefing every few hours, so a full inbox stays calm and nothing slips by. Or have Cuebit write you a running update on a Cue that ties what is new to what came before, so the picture arrives already joined up (that one is Pro).
The Catches are the same either way. What changes is how much of the work is already done when they reach you.
Your Cues build a picture
A single event rarely tells the whole story. An event your Cue catches is a Catch, and every Cue keeps its own Story page: its Catches, newest first, so you read one developing thread and see at a glance where your idea stands. Once a Cue has a few Catches, Cuebit puts the story so far on top, a short written summary of what has been reported.
Plans
| Plan | Price | Cues running at once | When a Cue reaches you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 | Within about 15 minutes of an event |
| Pro | $9 a month, or $99 a year (one month free) | 5 | Right as information about an event arrives |
| Enterprise | Priced per team, talk to us | 50 per person | Right as information about an event arrives |
Every plan runs the same engine. The matching and the coverage are identical, so your plan only changes how fast Cues reach you, how many run at the same time, and how many of you are on the account.
Pro adds one more choice. Instead of a plain gathering of what your Cues caught, Digest is a short written update on each Cue that connects what is new to the story so far.
Save as many ideas as you like on any plan. The cap is on Cues watching at the same time, never on how many you keep, so you park the ones you are not following right now and start them again whenever you want. Upgrade, switch monthly to yearly, or cancel yourself any time from your account.
Enterprise is for teams and companies. It adds a seat for everyone on your desk, invoicing and priority support, and it is priced per team, so talk to us.
Frequently asked
Who is Cuebit for?
Investors and traders who need to know first, including prediction-market traders. Anyone whose decisions turn on real-world events: you set the catalysts that matter to you, and Cuebit makes sure you hear about them the moment they happen, with the source, so you act on your own call before the crowd.
How is this different from keyword alerts or Google Alerts?
Cuebit reads for meaning. Our models weigh each event against the intent of your Cue, so they catch the right development even when the wording differs from yours, and you get one short email on what happened. Keyword tools can only match the exact words you typed.
How do I create a Cue?
Describe it in plain English, for example, tell me when the US government declares it will buy or invest in AI. That is all you do: Cuebit reads your description and works out the name, keywords and topics for you. The more coherent your Cue is, the better results you get. See our Writing a strong Cue guide for exactly what to include.
Can I just follow my holdings?
Yes, and that is the easy part: list the tickers you hold and Cuebit cues you when news moves one of them. The real power is the understanding behind it. Cuebit reads each event for what it means, finds the companies a story moves even when they are never named, and matches events to a need you describe in plain English, far beyond a watchlist.
Where does Cuebit get its information?
Events reported across financial media, tied to the companies, sectors and regions each one touches. Cuebit reports what the sources say and always links to the original report, so you can read the full story yourself.
