Asking a question
Type into the composer at the bottom of the chat panel and press Enter. The placeholder is a reminder of the three triggers:Ask your analyst…Each trigger renders as its own colored chip: for a company, for a note, for a skill, for an MCP server. See Mentions and triggers for how each one works.$for tickers,@for context,/for skills

The composer with a $ company chip, an @ context chip, and a / skill chip, each in its own color
Reading the answer
The analyst shows its work rather than just producing text:- Thinking: its reasoning streams in as it works, so you can follow the logic.
- Tool calls: when it pulls financials, quotes, transcripts, or data from a connected MCP server, each call appears as a pill you can inspect, along with its result.
- Subagents: for larger tasks the analyst can delegate to subagents; their work nests inside the conversation.
- Approvals: if the analyst wants to change something in your workspace, an approval card appears in the chat. Nothing is written until you approve it. See Approving changes.
Managing conversations
- New chat: open a fresh analyst tab with Cmd+Shift+L (Windows/Linux: Ctrl+Shift+L), or from the New Analyst entry in the user menu. You can keep several conversations open side by side.
- Stop: a running answer can be stopped at any time; the turn is marked “Stopped”.
- Queueing: if you send a message while the analyst is still working, it queues and sends when the current turn finishes.
- Reconnection: if you reload the page mid-answer, the chat reattaches to the in-flight run instead of losing it. Completed turns also sync across browser tabs.
The analyst is a research tool, not investment advice. Its reasoning and sources stay visible precisely so you can verify them.
