Is NVDA too big a part of my portfolio now?

It's 32% of everything you hold, your largest position by far. For a moderate-risk, 10-year plan, trimming toward 20% is one option. Want to see what that sells?

The AI guidance guideBy the Walnut team · Updated October 2026 · 3 min read

Common questions about the assistant.

What is AI financial guidance in Walnut?

Short answer

Walnut's built-in assistant answers money questions from your connected accounts, your investor profile and current news.

Ask "am I too heavy in tech?" and you get your own percentages back.

What can I ask the assistant?

Short answer

Anything from one stock to your whole portfolio, including how a holding compares with the S&P 500 or how you are tracking toward a goal.

For example: "Which of my holdings are lagging the market?" or "Tell me when VIAV hits 50". It can set that alert or build a basket in the same reply.

It also reads your notifications, orders, Moves and recurring plans.

How does it remember my risk tolerance and goals?

Short answer

When you mention your risk, horizon, experience or stocks to avoid, it saves them to your investor profile for next time.

It asks at most two questions per conversation. In Settings, a filled dot means you set a fact and a hollow dot means it was inferred.

Can I send it a screenshot of my account?

Short answer

Yes, on the web. Attach up to four photos per message, such as a brokerage screen, a statement or a chart.

It uses what it reads in that conversation but never records it as holdings. The mobile app cannot attach photos yet.

Quick answers

Is the assistant free?
Yes, up to a per-session allowance. Walnut Unlimited, $9.99 a month on the web, removes the limit.
Does it need my broker connected?
No. Connecting one, read-only, lets it answer about what you own.
Will it trade without asking me?
No. It previews each order and places it only after you say yes.
Can I correct what it remembers about me?
Yes. Edit or clear any fact in Settings.
Does it remember past conversations?
Yes. Each one is saved, so you can pick up where you left off.
Can I use it in Claude or ChatGPT instead?
Yes, through Walnut's connector. Orders stay in Walnut.

Walnut is an AI financial advisor app; it is not a registered investment adviser. Nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell a security. Examples on this page are samples, not real accounts.
