r/AutopilotApp

Why are we still seeing them after his fund crashed?

So, there’s a TikTok user called tylerwants100k. He has invested a total of $4k in Dr. Lira’s AI portfolios — specifically $1k each in Grok, Claude, DeepSeek, and GPT (their respective portfolios). And now, after just under 100 days, he has made a little over $7k.

That’s 75 percent! When I look at the experiences other people have shared here or compare the returns of portfolios running on autopilot, those numbers hardly seem realistic.

Even if they are accurate, what’s stopping me from doing the same thing? After six months, I should have doubled my money, right? Where’s the catch?

I'm brand new to all of this, haven't invested any money in this yet.

How much have you guys gotten out of this? I prefer to hear it from the community regarding how much they put in and received over a week/month/year of getting involved.

Autopilot is an app that allows people to mirror trades made by members of Congress and President Trump. However the fee is a minimum of $100 per year on a $500 minimum investment. That is simply too expensive for me. 20% off the top. Yikes!

Obviously the strategies “lock” you in to autopilot because they happen through the app. That isn’t what I’m complaining about.

I want to transfer brokerages. This is generally a fairly straightforward process, and I figured it wouldn’t be problematic with autopilot. They know exactly what my allocation is in each strategy I’m invested in, they just need to reattribute those shares once my transfer completes.

They straight up refuse to do this. There’s nothing technically stopping them from supporting this. I don’t know if it’s just laziness or lack of care for their customers or what, but they straight refuse. Completely ridiculous.

Their suggestion was genuinely to liquidate my strategies, transfer the cash, and then reinvest in the same strategies. Great fucking idea, let’s just force our customers to take a massive tax hit so they can transfer brokerages. Left a pretty horrible taste in my mouth following what has generally been a good experience. Really disappointing.

Each pilot has there holdings listed, what is stopping me from copying that myself?

I am two months into using autopilot and I am having a hard time getting my trades to go through. I have chatted with autopilot about it and they said I need an LPOA for the trades to go through yet when I call my broker they have no clue what I am talking about.

Anyone have any issues with this kind of thing?

I’m trying to decide where to put long-term investment money and would like to hear from people who have actually used these options.
I’m considering:

VOO
Robinhood Strategies with the most aggressive risk profile
Wolff’s Flagship Fund on Autopilot
InTheMoney’s Actively Managed portfolio
Pelosi Tracker+

One of Autopilot’s AI-focused portfolios
The recent Autopilot returns are obviously much higher, with some showing 40% to over 100%, but most have short track records and heavy exposure to AI, semiconductors or other high-growth stocks. Robinhood Strategies appears more diversified and charges 0.25% annually, while VOO is the simplest and cheapest at 0.03%.

For anyone who has used Robinhood Strategies or Autopilot:

Which portfolio did you choose?
What has your actual return been?
How long have you used it?
What was your largest drawdown?
How responsive was the strategy during a correction?

Have the trades created a significant tax burden?
Would you choose it over VOO for the next 5 to 10 years?

I’m comfortable with some risk, but I also want good liquidity in case I eventually need the money for a large purchase. Right now I’m leaning toward keeping VOO as the majority and using Robinhood Strategies or Wolff’s Flagship for a smaller aggressive allocation.

What would you choose and why?
