Custom Pulses

What is a Pulse?

A Pulse is a scheduled, automated research brief. Instead of manually asking Pierce the same tracking questions every week or month, you can configure a Pulse. Pierce will wake up on a cron schedule, run your exact prompt using fresh data, and deliver a comprehensive email report directly to your inbox.

Example Pulses:

• "Every Friday at 4 PM, summarize the insider selling activity for MSFT, NVDA, and TSLA."
• "On the 1st of every month, run a DCF valuation on AAPL keeping revenue growth at 5% and output the target intrinsic value."

How to Create a Pulse

1. Directly from Chat: When you ask a great question that you want repeated, the interface will show a chip suggesting: "Make this a Pulse?". Clicking it will automatically migrate your prompt into the Pulse creator.
2. From the Sidebar: Click the New Pulse button (⚡ icon) to open the Pulse interface. You can set the name, write the prompt, and choose the frequency.

Managing Pulses

You can view, edit, toggle (pause/resume), and delete your Pulses by clicking on Activity or navigating to /dashboard/pulses.

On the Pulses dashboard, you'll also find the run history for each Pulse, showing whether it succeeded, failed, or was skipped, along with the output preview and the credits used.

• Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG): Pulses are not available.
