Backpack AI Search: What It Is and How to Use It

You may know what you’re looking for without knowing its ticker or where to find it. Companies that make memory chips. Perps with the highest funding. Crypto you can lend to earn interest.

With AI Search, you can describe what you want in your own words. Backpack finds relevant markets and products across Stocks, Crypto, Perps and Earn, bringing them into one search experience.

Start with an idea, refine it with follow-ups, and open a market or save the results to explore later. Ask Backpack to find it.

Key Takeaways

• Discover markets without knowing the exact ticker, product page or filters to use.
• Search across Stocks, Crypto, Perps and Earn from one place.
• Combine multiple conditions in a query and refine the results with follow-ups.
• Save your results as a watchlist or screener to revisit later.

What Is Backpack AI Search?

Backpack AI Search is a natural-language search tool that helps you find markets and products across Backpack. Describe a business activity, theme or set of conditions, and it returns relevant results. You can review how it interpreted your request, refine the list and open the market you want to explore.

It gives you a way to navigate Backpack starting with what you want to do. You can look for companies without knowing their tickers, combine several stock-screening conditions, find perps by funding or discover crypto lending opportunities.

How to Access AI Search on Backpack

To open AI Search on the Backpack website:

1. Sign in to Backpack.
2. Click the search bar at the top of the page, or press / on your keyboard.

3. Choose AI Search from the left-hand menu.

You can now type a description of what you’re looking for.

How to Find Markets With AI Search

1. Describe What You’re Looking For

Start with what a company does. For example, type:

“Companies that make memory chips.”

Backpack builds a list of relevant companies. Results may include SK hynix, Micron and SanDisk, helping you discover names without searching for each ticker individually.

Above the list, AI Search explains how it interpreted your words. Read this explanation to check that the results reflect what you meant.

2. Explore a Broader Theme

You can also start with a theme or a familiar company. Begin a new search with:

“Space companies like SpaceX.”

This produces a broader list of space-related companies. In this example, the results include both larger and smaller names, sorted by market capitalization.

The chips above the list show the filters Backpack applied from your words. You can remove a filter using its × or continue refining the search with another request.

3. Narrow the Results With a Follow-Up

To focus the space-company search, add:

“Only the ones that build rockets.”

AI Search builds on the context of your current request, so you do not need to repeat the original query. The list narrows, and the explanation above it updates to reflect the new condition.

This lets you develop a search as your idea becomes more specific: start with an industry, then describe the part of that industry you want to explore.

4. Search Across Stocks, Crypto, Perps and Earn

The same search experience works across different Backpack products. You can start with an asset and find several ways to access or use it in one list.

Start a new search and enter:

“Every Bitcoin market on Backpack.”

For example, your results may include the following Bitcoin-related markets and products:

You can explore these results together without searching each product category separately. Check the product label beside each result to understand which type of market you’re opening.

Use the start-over control in the search bar when switching to a new topic so your previous conditions do not carry into the new request.

How to Save AI Search Results

Once you have a useful list, click Save above the results. The menu includes Save as watchlist and Save as screener.

Save as a Watchlist

A watchlist keeps your selected markets together so you can follow them later.

1. Select Save as watchlist.
2. Review the suggested name and edit it if needed.
3. Confirm to save the list.

Save as a Screener

Choose Save as screener to save your search criteria. You can return to the same conditions later to find matching markets without retyping your request or rebuilding the filters.

You can also select Open in screener above the results to review and adjust those criteria, giving you more control over your search.

How to Open a Market From Your Results

Click the result to open its market page.

Selecting SpaceX, for example, takes you to its stock page, where you can review the chart, company information and trading interface. This connects your initial idea with a specific market without requiring you to know its ticker or navigate through product categories first.

You can then research the asset further, follow it or choose to trade.

Does Backpack AI Search Tell You What to Buy?

AI Search finds and sorts markets based on your request. Its results are matches to the criteria it applies, not recommendations about which assets to buy or predictions about future performance.

Check the interpretation and filters before using the results. If they do not match your intent, refine the request or remove a filter. You can also use the thumbs-up or thumbs-down controls beneath the list to provide feedback.

Find Your Next Market to Explore

Start with an idea. Describe it, narrow it down and save the markets you want to follow.

Whether you’re looking for a company, a market condition or different ways to access an asset, AI Search gives you one place to begin.

Open Backpack, choose AI Search, and ask Backpack to find it.
