Connected — now what do I ask?

Say "start here" and CoreThesis walks you through it.

The fastest way in: type "start here" (or just ask "what can CoreThesis do?"). Your AI calls the start_here tool and comes back with what CoreThesis is, the prompts worth copying, what you can look at right now, how the report voice works, and what your free trial covers. It's free — it never counts against your plan.

It takes no arguments and returns the whole guide in one call, so there's nothing to drill into — your AI draws it as a small dashboard right there in the chat, not in a side panel or a file you have to open, so it looks the same on a phone. Each block carries the link that matches it if you want the detail: the full tool list at /docs, the report voice at /settings, your plan and balance at /billing.

To see what you can pull up: ask "what stocks can I look at right now?" Some tickers are already synthesised and come back the moment you ask; everything else in the universe is built when you first ask for it — about 30 minutes, with a job id and an ETA — and stays ready from then on. A name missing from the ready list is a wait, never a refusal, and that list grows continuously.

If you'd rather just start: "Analyze NVDA" is the single best first prompt. It returns one complete report — business model, financial quality, management signals, how the stock trades, sell-side consensus, insider activity, plus macro context and the recent news and press. Everything after that is a follow-up question in plain English.

Other good openers: "What's the macro picture right now?" · "Has there been insider selling at TSLA lately?" · "Show me Apple's latest balance sheet and cash flow" · "Build my pre-earnings shortlist for this week."

You never have to name a tool. Ask the question you actually have and your AI routes it — start_here exists for the moment when you don't know what to ask yet.
