New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2026) - Aether Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: ATHR) ("Aether" or "the Company"), an emerging financial technology holding company developing data-driven platforms and media assets for investors, today announced that the waitlist for Alphid.ai, the Company’s agentic AI research platform, is now open at alphid.ai.

The platform is purpose-built to simplify and accelerate investment research for retail investors across equity and digital assets that has historically been reserved for the institutional analyst desk.

Alphid.ai gives everyday investors access to pre-built institutional-style research workflows. Through a library of pre-configured financial-focused agents, Alphid can autonomously analyze fundamentals, technical signals, market sentiment, macro conditions, and risk to generate customized investment insights. Rather than functioning as a chatbot, Alphid acts as a digital Chief Research Officer, directing a multi-agent system across multiple tools and data sources to continuously monitor markets, send timely alerts, and deliver research that is thorough and actionable.

The platform is built around a single insight: retail and prosumer investors do not lack data — they lack the coordinated research team that turns data into conviction. Alphid achieves this process by orchestrating seven specialist agents across fundamental analysis, technical signals, portfolio management, risk, sentiment, screening, and trade journaling. Each agent runs continuously across more than 15 real-time financial data sources, surfacing portfolio-relevant intelligence the moment it becomes material — not when the user thinks to ask.

Alphid is accessible through a unified web workspace and the messaging surfaces investors already use — Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, Line, and Viber — giving the platform distribution reach across both Western and Asia-Pacific retail markets from day one.

Key Capabilities:

Multi-Agent Coordination: A Research Director agent orchestrates seven specialist agents - Fundamental, Technical, Portfolio, Risk, Sentiment, Screener, and Trade Journal - across a single research workspace, replacing the fragmented stack of charting tools, news feeds, sentiment dashboards, and filing scrapers that retail investors typically patch together.

Institutional-Grade Fundamental Analysis: On-demand access to valuation, fundamental analysis, and risk assessment workflows of the kind used inside professional research desks, delivered in plain-language outputs that self-directed investors can act on.

Real-Time Market Co-Pilot: Combines market data, technical signals, and sentiment analysis to highlight institutional footprints, momentum shifts, and entry zones in real time.

Risk-First Framework: Every output is paired with downside scenarios, position-sizing context, and portfolio-level risk assessment, structured to support disciplined decision-making rather than reactive trading.

Persistent Workspace: Unlike conversational AI tools that reset between sessions, Alphid maintains durable research desks - so a Monday morning brief, a Tuesday filing alert, and a Wednesday thesis update accrue inside the same workflow, compounding investor conviction over time.

Strategic Significance to Aether Holdings

The launch of Alphid marks another step in Aether's strategy to expand its ecosystem of AI-powered fintech products. By combining agentic AI, automation, market intelligence, and scalable research workflows, Alphid strengthens Aether's position as a next-generation fintech platform building intelligent tools for everyday investors.

"Alphid reflects our vision to empower investors with the frontier of technologies," said Nicolas Lin, Chief Executive Officer of Aether Holdings. "We are not building another chatbot. We are building the research team that everyday investors have never been able to afford - and we are doing it on top of a data moat and a distribution moat that very few new entrants in this market can replicate. Opening the waitlist is the first step in introducing Alphid to the market on our terms."

How to Join the Waitlist

The Alphid.ai waitlist is open now at https://alphid.ai. Aether will release additional product details, pricing, and onboarding milestones to waitlist members ahead of general availability.
