Ternacious was highly praised for leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology to enable individual investors worldwide who invest in global stock markets to easily access vast amounts of corporate information and unstructured financial data. StockNow provides real-time interpretation and translation, as well as a natural language-based search engine.

Ternacious recognized that while investments in overseas stocks-especially U.S. stocks-by individual investors are rapidly increasing, they still face disadvantages compared to institutional investors in several areas, including language barriers, time differences, financial knowledge, and access to information.

StockNow, the service provided by Ternacious, uses AI technology to translate and deliver in real time unstructured data that affects the stock market, such as earnings announcements, earnings calls, breaking news, and policy reports. In addition, the company has enhanced access to global corporate data by developing its own search engine and natural language-based Q&A features. This AI-powered solution addresses the language and time zone barriers that domestic investors in U.S. stocks have inevitably encountered.

The quality of translation and interpretation, as well as the advanced technology enabling these features, also received high marks. The system is configured to minimize delays in translation and voice interpretation, ensuring seamless service. Since its launch in 2024, StockNow has secured 40,000 monthly users as of October this year, with 10,000 daily users. The basic features are provided free of charge to individual users. In June, the company introduced a membership subscription model focused on premium features such as earnings reports and breaking news, generating revenue. Currently, only Korean is supported, but Ternacious plans to expand its global user base by adding English and Japanese support in the first quarter of 2026.
