Scalable Capital Lets ChatGPT, Claude and Grok Access Client Portfolios

German neobroker Scalable Capital has launched 'Agentic Investing', enabling customers to link their brokerage accounts to AI assistants such as ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic) and Grok, and execute securities transactions via natural-language prompts. The company says it is the first bank in Europe to open its platform this way to mainstream AI assistants. Users can execute trades, set up savings plans, manage watchlists, set price alerts and access analysis functions from Scalable Insights.
