Usage & Features

"What's the difference between tools and playbooks?"

Tools return specific data points (e.g., "What's Bitcoin's RSI?" → "37.2, oversold"). Playbooks orchestrate multiple tools into comprehensive analysis (e.g., "Analyze Bitcoin" → 1000-word research report with technical + derivatives + narratives + outlook + recommendations). Use playbooks when making decisions. Use tools when you need specific data quickly.
