Google Finance isn’t a new product – it’s been around for 20 years, so long that it initially relied on Flash to display charts and graphs. The website has received some major updates over the years, but it never had a mobile app until now. Google has released the first standalone app for Google Finance, currently exclusive to Android, with plans for iOS later this year.
The app is available on the Play Store globally, but this is not the only update to Google’s financial tracker. An AI-powered makeover for the finance website is also leaving beta, allowing Google’s chatbot to become a core part of the experience. Naturally, the mobile app includes the help of generative AI that aims to make sense of irrational financial markets.
If you’ve checked out the new Finance web experience, you’ll notice many familiar features in the app. You can create watchlists, monitor real-time market data and keep up with financial news all in one place. When observing graphs of stock performance, Finance will use AI to generate “key moments” that can explain why the numbers changed. The feature was initially launched in the Finance web interface in May.

The mobile app also gets Google’s new AI research tool, which can be accessed through the “Ask” button at the bottom of the UI. It allows users to interact with Google’s Money-Tune bot about stocks. The bottom bar also includes a history section where you can easily access your previous chats.
