★Featured at AI Tinkerers — Top Global DemosWhat Zensei does
Zensei Index
One 0–100 score for US equity risk, updated every trading day. Lower is healthier. The score falls into one of four regimes (Supportive, Vulnerable, Stressed, Restrictive) and combines ten indicators of market structure, tactical filters and regime confirmations. You know the risk level before you look at a single stock.
Zensei Edge
A sector rotation map of 115 sectors, themes and asset classes, each measured against the S&P 500 over six windows from one week to one year. Each group sits in one of four quadrants: Outperformers, Emerging, Cooling or Underperformers. You drill down from a leading group to the stocks inside it and see which ones lead the group.
Public sector and stock pages
A free page for every sector and theme (for example uranium stocks) and for the most-searched stocks. Each page states its date, its status against the S&P 500 and its group, and a short read of the trend. No account needed.
MCP access for AI agents
Premium connects Zensei to AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT through the Model Context Protocol. Your assistant reads the live Index and sector data and answers with real numbers instead of guesses. How it works.
Chrome extension
Today's Zensei Index and the 11 S&P 500 sectors against the market, one click away in the browser. No account needed and no tracking.
What makes Zensei different
01
Every number is relative to the S&P 500
Most charting platforms show whether a stock went up. Zensei shows whether it beat the market and its own sector, over six windows from one week to one year. A stock can rise and still lose ground; Zensei makes that visible.
02
115 groups and 2,430 stocks in one map
Zensei tracks 115 sectors, themes and asset classes and 2,430 stocks inside them, with 5,432 stock-in-fund links. Typical sector dashboards stop at the 11 S&P 500 sectors; Zensei covers themes such as uranium, cybersecurity or defense, and their stocks.
03
A daily market-risk score, not just charts
The Zensei Index turns ten indicators into one 0–100 score and four regimes. Stock screeners rank stocks but say nothing about the market around them; Zensei starts with the regime.
04
Built for AI assistants
Premium includes MCP access, so Claude, ChatGPT and other agents read Zensei data directly. Most charting and screening tools give AI agents no direct access to their data.
05
Clear pricing, no lock-in
A free tier for the Index and the 11 broad sectors. Premium costs $49 per month, or $399 per year ($33 per month), and you can cancel at any time. Many research platforms require an annual contract or a sales call.
Who uses Zensei
- Self-directed US-equity investors who want a weekly top-down routine: market regime first, leading sectors second, stocks last.
- Swing traders who follow sector rotation and want to know when leadership changes hands.
- Investors who use AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT) and want them to answer with live market data through MCP.
- Finance educators and content creators who teach sector rotation (through the affiliate program).
The team behind Zensei
Zensei is two people: Gerard Fernandez and Pierre Huchot. They started it in Miami in 2026 to turn their own investing process into a product: read the market regime first, find the leading sectors second, and only then look at stocks. They also run AI Tinkerers Valencia together, a community of builders who ship working AI systems.
