Briefing

briefing — Daily Market Update

Every number comes from Bloom's financial data. Not a language model's training data.

Trigger: /briefing [WATCHLIST] — market update, optionally with your tickers.

Examples:

• /briefing — full market summary, no specific tickers
• /briefing AAPL MSFT NVDA — add watchlist section for those tickers
• /briefing TSLA AMZN GOOGL META — track your portfolio tickers

Notes

• Keep it fast. The whole briefing should be readable in 2 minutes. Resist the urge to add more.
• "One Thing To Watch" is the most valuable section — don't make it generic. Find the actual thing.
• If VIX is above 25, always mention it — that's elevated fear territory.
• If the watchlist section is empty (no tickers provided), omit it entirely. Don't show an empty table.
• Don't describe what happened in detail for every mover. One line max per ticker.
