Tag a symbol with $

Chat answers questions about stocks, ETFs and crypto. Name one with a $ tag.

  1. Type $ and a letter

    Start a word with it, or click the $ button on the composer and then type a letter. A Symbols list opens and narrows as you type. Each row shows the ticker, the name and its kind, such as Stock, ETF, ADR or Crypto.

  2. Pick a row

    Use the arrow keys and Enter, or click it. The draft gets the ticker, for example $NVDA, and a chip for it appears on the composer.

  3. Send the message

    The chip travels with it. To drop a chip before you send, click its ✕.

A tag counts only when you pick it from the list: $FOO typed and sent without picking stays plain text. A dollar amount such as $50 never opens the list. One message carries up to 12 tags.

A tag tells Chat which instrument you mean, not what to do, so pair it with a question.

Prices, history and cited answers

Ask for a stock or ETF price and Chat reads its last trade. The answer carries a citation with the time of the read.

Ask how a symbol has traded and Chat reads its bars: intraday sizes such as 5 minutes or 1 hour, or daily, weekly or monthly. Daily is the default. The reply shows the most recent 20 bars as a data card.

A large card followed by more of the answer folds to one line naming the source, such as IREN · bars, its shape, such as 1 row × 12 cols, and when its data is from. Show and Hide fold the rows, and Open ▸ opens them in a side panel; the docked chat has no Open ▸. Figures in the prose carry citation numbers that point back to the card.

When a read returns nothing, Chat says so. A missing price is reported as no data, never as zero.

Audit on a reply opens a panel whose Sources lists every source the reply read. See What Chat can read.

When the Watchlists app is on in your project, Chat also reads your watchlists and symbol notes. See Watchlists in Chat.

Screen the market

Describe conditions in plain words and Chat runs a screen. "Stocks up more than 10% today with market cap above $2B" and "top premarket movers" are both screens. The reply shows a card such as Screened the market · 1 screen · 20 rows.

Chat matches your words to the screener's fields: price and volume, valuation, growth, balance sheet, performance and more. Valuation, growth, balance-sheet and performance fields come from daily updates, not the live tape.

The screen covers exchange-listed US stocks: common shares and ADRs by default. Ask to include ETFs, closed-end funds, preferred shares, warrants, rights and units, or structured products, and the answer states the wider universe.

The answer gives the counts: rows returned, rows matched and symbols left out for missing data. An empty result is an answer. Chat does not loosen a condition to force rows.

To keep a screen as a live widget, click Screened the market, then Open full results: Pin as widget → under the table proposes a widget you Apply. See Pin a chart from Chat.

Charts in the thread

Ask Chat to show, plot or graph something and it draws a chart inline with a dashboard widget type, such as Line Chart or Bar Chart. Widgets that stream their own feed, such as Live Price, are not drawn in the thread. The chart is marked displayed, not saved: nothing is written to a dashboard.

A chart holds at most 100 points. When the source offers time ranges, range buttons above the chart redraw it. A line needs at least 8 points to show a shape. With fewer, Chat states the values in the answer instead, or draws a bar chart. If a chart fails to draw, the block reads Chart render error with a Retry button.

Pin to dashboard → under a chart proposes a widget you Apply. See Pin a chart from Chat.

Slash commands

  1. Open the list

    Type / at the start of a word, or click the / button on the composer (Insert a command). The Commands list opens.

  2. Pick a command

    Use the arrow keys and Enter, or click it. Its opening words replace the / in your draft.

  3. Finish the sentence and send

    A command never runs anything by itself.

  • /dashboard (Propose a dashboard) inserts “Propose a dashboard for”, and /workflow (Propose a workflow) inserts “Propose a workflow that”. A proposal card follows, and nothing is created or runs until you approve it.
  • /chart (Chart something) inserts “Show me a chart of”. Chat answers with a chart in the thread.

Where web search is available, Chat searches the web when a question needs it, and a reply that searched shows Searched the web. See Search the web.
