Features and benefits

Everything a subscription includes, and what each feature does for your business.

Start with a free personalized briefing. The features below are part of the $9.95/month subscription unless marked otherwise.

Built around your business

It starts from what you tell it, and it keeps track of the numbers that matter to you.

A business profile you control

Free to start

Start with three quick questions. Add more any time from your dashboard: your industry, customers, costs, borrowing and plans, and optionally your nearest metro area.

Why it matters: Every briefing is written for your costs, customers, hiring, borrowing and plans, not for the economy in general. You never have to re-explain your business.

The numbers it watches for you

From your profile, the agent picks up to eight official data series that matter most to a business like yours, such as pay and job openings in your industry, the producer prices behind your costs, demand for what you sell and unemployment where you are. It updates them when your profile changes.

Why it matters: You don't have to know which of hundreds of statistics to follow. The agent follows the right ones for you.

Around every release

About 40 official U.S. economic reports, timed to when the data actually comes out.

A heads-up before relevant releases

The business day before a major report that matters to your business, such as CPI, the jobs report or GDP, we email you what it measures, why it may matter to you and what to watch for.

Why it matters: You know what's coming before your customers, suppliers or lender bring it up.

An impact briefing as soon as it's out

We check for new data shortly after the usual release times. As soon as a report is in, usually the same day, you get a briefing that quotes the official figures and explains what they could mean for your business. Every briefing is kept in your dashboard history.

Why it matters: Same-day insight, without reading the release or waiting for the news to interpret it.

As short or as deep as you like

Choose the detail of your after-report emails from your dashboard: a short summary of the key figures, a medium briefing, or a deep analysis with wider context. Change it or turn emails off any time.

Why it matters: It fits the time you have: a two-minute read, or the full picture when you're planning.

What it means for you

Not just what the numbers were, but what they mean for your business and what you might do next.

“What changed for you”

Each after-report email opens with the watched numbers that moved enough to matter. Where you've told us an amount, such as a monthly cost, it estimates the dollar effect on it. When nothing important moved, it says so in one line.

Why it matters: The first thing you read is the part that affects you, sized in your own dollars where possible.

Recommended next steps

When a watched number moves, the agent may suggest a next step tied to it, such as reviewing a supplier price or your hiring plan. Suggestions retire on their own when they go stale or a newer one replaces them.

Why it matters: A practical starting point for your next decision. You stay in charge: the app never sends, schedules or buys anything for you.

Learns from one-click feedback

Every email ends with “Was this useful? Yes · No”. If recent emails miss the mark, the “What changed for you” section gets shorter, and kinds of suggestions you found unhelpful are paused. No open tracking and no tracked links.

Why it matters: Your emails get more useful to you over time, without you having to configure anything.

Grounded and on demand

Official data, checked before it reaches you, plus answers when you want them.

Official government data, checked

Briefings draw on official reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Census Bureau and the Federal Reserve, and name the report they come from. Every figure in an email is checked against the official release or your own answers before it's sent; an email that fails the check is held back rather than sent.

Why it matters: Numbers you can rely on when you talk to your accountant, lender or team.

“What does the economy mean for your business right now?”

Once a day, ask from your dashboard for one complete report on your costs, customer demand, jobs and pay, interest rates, local conditions and what's coming next, with a list of the sources used. Every report is kept, and you can email one to yourself.

Why it matters: A full, current picture whenever you're planning, budgeting or meeting your bank.

Economic release calendar

Free for everyone

Every report we track, with its last and next expected release dates, on The Reports page.

Why it matters: Plan around the releases that matter to your business.

How it compares

AmericanEconomy.ai vs. a general-purpose AI chatbot

General AI chatbots are great for open-ended questions. AmericanEconomy.ai does one job: it follows official U.S. economic data for your business and comes to you when something changes. Chatbots differ, and some can browse the web or remember past conversations, so the right-hand column describes what you can typically expect by default.

    Keeps your business profile and starts every briefing from it.

    General AI chatbot

    Only if you tell it

    Built in

    Emails you automatically when a report that matters to you comes out, plus a heads-up the business day before.

    AmericanEconomy.ai

    Can suggest ideas when you ask, usually general ones.
