Jay Plourde's 2030 10X AI Beneficiaries on Autopilot

I'm Chris, one of the co-founders of Autopilot. Jay Plourde's Portfolio makes a bet many AI Portfolios don't: that the lasting value of AI ends up with the companies that use it, not the ones building the infrastructure.

Before anything else, a word about the name.

One thing first, because we're an SEC-registered investment adviser and I have to say it. Autopilot is the app. The actual investment advice comes from Autopilot Advisers, LLC. If you want the full legal version of anything in here, it's on our disclaimer page.

1) About the name

The Portfolio is called 2030 10X AI Beneficiaries. The name reflects the Pilot's ambition. It isn't a forecast, and nobody can promise a result like that, not him and not us.

Judge it on how it's built. That's the rest of this page.

2) Who he is

Jay Plourde is an independent Pilot. He creates and manages the Portfolio. His bio says he has spent more than 35 years in global capital markets as an executive, investor, and adviser, including as CEO of CLSA Americas, and that he has worked across institutional equities, private companies, startups, and businesses built on intellectual property.

3) The thesis

His description says the enduring value of AI won't pile up at the infrastructure layer but at the application layer: companies that turn proprietary data, intellectual property, and dominant cash flows into advantages competitors can't easily copy.

It's long-only. For those unaware, that means it only buys stocks. It doesn't bet against anything.

4) How AI fits into his process

Research draws on independent third-party research providers, professional news sources, EDGAR, the US Patent and Trademark Office, and an internal process that uses AI to pull together market data, company developments, and technical signals.

The description is explicit that every investment decision stays with him, and that AI expands his research coverage and monitoring, not autonomous trading. I respect how clearly that's said.

5) The risk, said plainly

I want to be honest with you. Betting on the application layer means betting against where a lot of AI money has gone so far. If infrastructure keeps capturing most of the value, this Portfolio can lag for a long time.

A long horizon only helps if you actually stay through the slow stretches.

6) How following works

Pick the Portfolio, connect the brokerage you already use, and allocate money. You give Autopilot Advisers limited authority to send orders to the account you already have. When the Portfolio changes, we send them and your broker fills them. The money stays put.

A flat cash subscription, not a percentage of your balance. Per our Form CRS dated February 2026, Basic Tier has no Base Advisory and Licensing Fee, and Premium Tier is $29.99 to $199.99 a quarter or $99.99 to $699.99 a year. Pilot subscriptions are separate and add on for each Pilot you subscribe to. Because it's a flat dollar amount, it's a bigger share of a small account than a big one, so do the math at your balance.

TLDR: 2030 10X AI Beneficiaries is Jay Plourde's long-only bet that AI's lasting value goes to companies with proprietary data, intellectual property, and strong cash flows. The name is his ambition, not a forecast. He uses AI to widen his research, and the decisions are his.

Autopilot does not hold client assets. All investments are held at the brokerage firm you select and connect to Autopilot. Your brokerage firm is responsible for trade execution, custody, and reporting. Autopilot is not responsible for your broker-dealer’s services, fees, or execution quality.

Autopilot’s services depend on technology systems, third-party APIs, and internet connectivity. System outages, API disruptions, or connectivity issues may temporarily affect service availability or trade execution timing.

Client account holdings are designed to track the Portfolio you’ve selected, but your actual holdings and performance may differ from the Portfolio due to execution timing, market conditions, brokerage capacity constraints, fractional share availability, and other factors outside Autopilot’s control.

For Portfolios inspired by publicly disclosed trading activity, there may be a delay between when a Pilot executes a trade and when that trade becomes publicly available and is incorporated into the Portfolio. This timing delay may affect the suitability or performance of trades when executed in client accounts.

Third-Party Pilot Portfolios are created and managed by independent third parties who are not affiliated with Autopilot, are not acting as your investment adviser, and owe you no fiduciary duty. Third-Party Pilots receive a share of the fees attributable to their Portfolios, which creates conflicts of interest for them and for Autopilot, and they may trade the same securities their Portfolios hold. Autopilot may convert a Third-Party Pilot Portfolio to an Autopilot Portfolio at any time.

Autopilot does not use AI to construct Portfolios, advise clients, or select investments; model outputs are inputs to the Pilot's own process and are not predictions of future results. Portfolio names reflect the Pilot's own framing and are not projections or promises of any return. Listing is not an endorsement of a Pilot or strategy. Fee amounts are quoted from Form CRS dated February 2026 and may change.
