Chat with the Agent

Chat is the main way to use Minara. Ask in plain language and Minara pulls live data, reasons over it, and answers, whether that is a quick price check, a market read, or a full research report. The same conversation can place trades and manage your portfolio.

The Web UI Chat screen is the richest place to do this. It adds file uploads, rich message rendering, live markets beside the conversation, and Institution analysis as a tab. Launch it with one command:

minara serve --ui

Open the printed URL, go to Chat, and start typing. Prefer the terminal? Run minara to chat in the REPL. Both surfaces use the same account, so you can switch between them anytime. See the Web Dashboard for a tour of every screen.

What you can ask

Minara answers from live data, on-chain activity, and your own positions, and it can act on the answer. It covers US stocks, pre-IPO names, crypto, macro, and sentiment. Start with anything:

Is NVDA worth chasing into the next earnings print?
What is ETH doing today, and how does it compare to BTC this week?

Then the things a general chatbot cannot touch, because it has no live data, no chain access, and cannot place a trade.

US stocks. Earnings, valuation, analyst theses, and catalysts on single names.

Is NVDA priced for perfection into the next earnings print, or still worth chasing?
What is the most credible bear case on GOOG right now?
Break down TSLA's last quarter against delivery expectations.
How do I get on-chain exposure to AAPL through a tokenized-stock protocol?

Pre-IPO and private companies. Secondary valuations, funding rounds, IPO timing, and how to actually get access.

What is the latest secondary-market valuation for OpenAI, and where could I buy in?
Is Anthropic closer to filing for an IPO this year?
How does SpaceX's latest tender-offer price compare with its last round?

Investment decisions. Bring a real choice and Minara reasons it through.

I have $10k for AI exposure: public names, pre-IPO, or an ETF?
Should I take profit on NVDA here, or hold into earnings?
Run a full committee analysis on TSLA before I add to it.

Macro and the cycle. Central banks, rates, the dollar, and where the cycle sits.

What does the next Fed decision mean for tech stocks and gold?
How does a strong dollar (DXY above 106) hit a book of BTC, gold, and SPX?
Where are we in the BTC cycle versus the halving, and what do MVRV bands say about support?

Sentiment and prediction markets. Crowd positioning, fear and greed, and live odds.

What is the crypto fear and greed index saying, and is it a contrarian signal?
What are Polymarket odds on the next Fed cut, and how deep is the book?

Crypto, on-chain, and DeFi. Live derivatives, wallet flows, contract safety, and yields.

What is the BTC funding rate trend, and any large ETH liquidation clusters today?
Track wallet 0xabc...def: holdings across chains and its last 20 trades.
Is 0x1234...5678 on Ethereum safe to buy? And the top stablecoin yields over $10M TVL?

Act on it. When you are ready, Minara trades from the same chat. It shows the order and asks you to confirm before anything moves.

Swap $1,000 USDC into ETH on Base.
Long BTC at 5x.
Transfer 0.5 ETH to 0xabc...123 on Arbitrum.

Grounded in your portfolio. Minara remembers your real holdings, history, and limits, so the answer fits you.

Show my portfolio across all chains and flag any over-allocation.
Set my risk profile to conservative. What does that change for what I hold?
Remember: I focus on AI stocks, BTC, and ETH, and I am risk-averse.

Bring your own context

In the Web UI Chat, attach files (CSVs, PDFs, screenshots) and Minara uses them as context for the conversation. Useful for reviewing a portfolio export, a research note, or a chart.

Deep research

For a thorough, multi-source answer with citations, run deep research. It fans out web searches, reads and cross-checks sources, and writes a cited report (optionally as HTML, PDF, or DOCX). In the Web UI or the REPL, run /deep-research:

/deep-research BTC ETF flows this quarter

From the command line, the same pipeline runs as a subcommand:

minara research "BTC ETF flows this quarter" --mode light

Use --mode heavy for a deeper pass. See Deep Research for what it produces and when to reach for it.

Go deeper on one name

When you want a structured, multi-analyst verdict on a ticker rather than a single answer, run Run a Committee Analysis. It debates a name through a 6-phase pipeline and stays read-only. It is heavier than a normal chat, so reach for it on real decisions, not quick lookups.

Slash Commands

Slash commands are shortcuts you type straight into chat, in the Web UI chat box or the terminal (minara). Each one jumps to a specific action without a full sentence. These are the ones you will reach for most. For the complete set and every flag, see the Slash Command reference.

How they work:

• Type / to browse. The terminal and the Web UI both show a picker as you type.
• Bare commands prompt you. Run /swap with no arguments and Minara asks for the amount, the from-token, and the to-token in turn. No need to remember the order.
• Money moves only after you confirm. Swaps, trades, and transfers show the order and ask for a fresh confirmation every time.

Chat and session

Market and research

Read-only. Minara pulls live data and replies.

Wallet and trading

These move funds, so each one shows the order and asks you to confirm first.
