Overview
- Public announced the launch on Sept. 24–25, 2026 and has made prediction markets available to all members through its app.
- The new AI agents turn simple investor instructions into fixed trading rules that can either buy event contracts directly or use market probabilities to trigger stock, option or bond trades.
- Public partnered with Kalshi to supply and execute the event contracts, relying on Kalshi’s status as a CFTC‑regulated exchange to handle trades.
- Users must review and approve a visual plan before an agent runs and agents are restricted to the conditions the user sets, including spending limits and trade boundaries.
- The move positions Public as an 'agentic brokerage' for self‑directed investors and could push wider use of real‑world event signals in retail portfolios as prediction markets grow in size and influence.
