• When: Announced October 24, 2026, in Miami, Florida.
• Price: $299 per month, billed annually at $3,588, with no setup, design or per-change fees.

Miami-based Widgets & Web has launched a new kind of investor relations website: one it says is designed, built and maintained through AI-driven operations, at a single fixed price. The company announced the product on October 24, 2026, pitching it to public companies, special-purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) and IPO-stage firms that want an investor site without an agency retainer.

The headline numbers are deliberately simple. The service costs $299 a month, billed annually at $3,588, and Widgets & Web says it will deliver a first draft of a new site within 24 hours of sign-up. Each site runs on a dedicated subdomain managed by the company.

What $299 a month buys

According to the announcement, every site includes live stock price data, automated U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings pulled from EDGAR, press release feeds, investor email alerts, corporate governance pages, and presentations and events sections. The subscription covers design, hosting, security monitoring, and unlimited updates and support, with no setup fees, no design fees and no per-change charges.

The sites are also built for accessibility, with ADA and WCAG compliance and an accessibility widget on every page, the company says. All of it runs on Widgets & Web's own proprietary platform: no WordPress, no PHP, and no third-party content management systems or plugin dependencies to maintain. The company argues that removing that upkeep is part of the point — fewer moving parts for a site whose main job is to stay current.

The zero-employee claim

The most striking line in the announcement is not the price. Widgets & Web says its operations run entirely on AI with zero employees, an operating model it describes as a first for the investor relations website industry. That is the company's own description, not an independently verified fact, and the announcement was distributed as a paid press release.

It matters because an investor relations site is not a marketing brochure. Its value is accuracy and timeliness: filings, prices and announcements that investors rely on, presented without error. Pulling filings automatically from EDGAR helps on the sourcing side — the underlying documents come from the regulator — but the announcement does not describe any human review step for what the AI assembles, updates or publishes. For a company weighing the service, that missing detail is the first question to ask, not an afterthought.

Chief executive and co-founder Steve Yakubov framed the pitch against the old model. “Public companies have spent decades paying agency retainers and five-figure design bills for websites their investors visit for one thing: accurate, current information,” he said. “We build the entire IR site, keep every feed live around the clock, and deliver it at a price any issuer can approve in one meeting.”

Why investor relations is an early test for AI operations

Investor relations work is unusually well suited to automation, at least on paper. Much of it is structured and recurring: a filing appears on EDGAR, a price moves, a press release goes out, an event is scheduled. A system that watches those feeds and updates the corresponding pages can plausibly keep a site fresher than a team that updates it by hand between other jobs.

Widgets & Web says it already serves more than 500 public companies, SPACs and IPO-stage firms through its existing investor relations website business, so this is not a first product from a new company — it is an AI-operated version of a service it already sells. That track record, if it holds up under scrutiny, is what separates this launch from a pure concept announcement: there are existing customers whose sites can be compared before and after.

What is not in the announcement

The announcement does not say how many of the 500-plus companies it cites are on the new AI-operated product versus its earlier offering, nor does it give customer names, uptime figures or error rates. It does not describe pricing tiers, contract terms beyond annual billing, or what happens when a feed breaks or a filing is amended. And it does not address who is accountable if an AI-assembled page misstates a figure — a question that matters more for investor communications than for most website categories.

None of that makes the product a bad idea. It does mean the launch is best read as a pricing and operations experiment in public: can a fixed $299-a-month, AI-run service keep investor pages as accurate and complete as the agency model it aims to replace, at a fraction of the cost? The first drafts delivered in the next few weeks, and whether they stay accurate through an earnings season, will answer that better than any launch announcement can.
