really interesting takeaways from the Wealthfront landing page[0]:

* every example is shown as a smartphone app - not a single "desktop-oriented" screenshot to be found. I guess we are finished with the days where every service has an app. Now, every service is an app.

* In the first example, an investment portfolio is shown where roughly 10% of the holdings is in a group called "single stock bets." Yikes! Though maybe this a case of "know your audience"? maybe they are trying to convert the hordes of GME-pumpers to try something a bit less risky?

* lots of emphasis on "emerging markets", "socially responsible funds", crypto. I've always heard the best long-term advice is to simply throw your money into an ETF tracking the s&p500 or nasdaq, but clearly wealthfront is targeting those who want some emotional connection to their savings.

all in all, seems like a cool service, especially if it helps convince those to begin saving who would otherwise not be saving.

I don't think having 10% of your equity investments in single stock bets is a yikes-worthy level of irresponsibility. It may not be the best way to perfectly optimize your long-term return, but for the vast majority of people it won't mean the difference between retiring comfortably and destitution—especially if actively managing a portion of your portfolio encourages a higher level of overall saving.
