Use Co-Pilot to interrogate a scan

You'll learn: Open the Co-Pilot chatbot, ask grounded questions about a brief or Live Monitor, and iterate with follow-ups.

Before you start

A Pro+ account (Co-Pilot is gated). A scan brief or Live Monitor open.

01 Open the panel

Look for the Ask button — top-right of the Live Monitor actions row, or in the brief header on /scan. Click it to slide out the Co-Pilot panel from the right edge of the screen. Keyboard shortcut: /.

02 Ask a grounded question

Co-Pilot can see everything in the loaded scan: the brief synthesis, recommended actions, every signal's headline plus the top 5 chatter items per source, weather forecast, traffic incidents, etc. Good first prompts:

  • "Summarize the brief in 3 bullets."
  • "What should I prioritize in the next 30 minutes?"
  • "Show me the high-priority Telegram messages."
  • "Are there any storm or wind risks I should watch?"

03 Read the reply

Replies come back as plain text with bracketed citations like [signal:traffic] or [brief:actions]. Every claim ties back to a source you can verify by scrolling to the relevant signal card.

04 Follow up

Co-Pilot remembers the last 8 turns of the conversation, so follow-ups work naturally. "Tell me more about the traffic situation" picks up where you left off without you needing to restate context.

05 Know what it can't do

Co-Pilot will refuse rather than guess. If a signal didn't return data, it'll say "I don't have data on that" instead of fabricating. It also won't pull in info outside the loaded scan — for "what's happening on Twitter right now," go run a new scan with that keyword.
