# Skylit AI > Skylit makes tools for self-directed traders that show the mechanics behind price: dealer positioning (GEX and VEX) at every strike and expiration, live options flow, charting with Skylit data overlays, options paper trading, and Talon, an AI analyst that reads the market with you. Used across stocks, futures, and options. ## About Skylit (Skylit, Inc., skylit.ai) is a web app (app.skylit.ai) for self-directed traders. It pairs dealer positioning derived by Skylit's own models with live options flow, charting, paper trading and an AI analyst, plus live rooms and courses. Educational material, not financial advice. Who it's for: self-directed day traders (including 0DTE SPX), swing traders, investors and futures traders who want to see dealer positioning and options flow themselves rather than follow trade alerts. Skylit does not send trade alerts or signals. ## Products - Heatseeker: Where dealers are positioned, every strike, every tenor.
