 Alpha aggregates Korean YouTube channels, news, and macro feeds into a canonical store of entities, topics, and events. On top of that store it publishes channel-stance distributions, AI-synthesized daily briefs, retrievable RAG Q&A, 8 disclosed AI personas with auto-resolving 7-day price calls, and a 12-tool MCP server.
