Delivery

How ScoutFox reaches you — Daily Brief, WhatsApp, email, app threads, and the Wire.

ScoutFox should come to you. The primary delivery artifact is the Daily Brief: a small set of source-linked signals worth your attention, with reply verbs that update the same watch memory across channels.

Channels

ChannelFormatBest for
Daily BriefThree things worth your attentionThe default output. Read, reply, or open a thread.
WhatsAppDaily Brief + short repliesUsers and teams who live in WhatsApp. Long replies hand off to app threads.
EmailDaily Brief + threadable repliesForwardable briefs and deeper async follow-up.
App threadsStateful Scout memory roomsDeeper explanations, corrections, saved signals, and follow-up work.
Wire (in-app)Live dispatchesSecondary feed for scanning recent dispatches.
PDF briefOn demand, styledShare a dispatch or daily edition with partners / editors.

All push channels use the same clean format: hook + sources + deep link. Never raw dumps.

Daily Brief first

External channels are brief-first. One focused Daily Brief, at a time you choose, should beat five channels full of partial alerts.

This is intentional. Until the quality bar is met across the board, ScoutFox won't wake you on the wrong channel. The Wire is where you go when you want to scan; the Daily Brief is where Scout comes to you.

Daily digest

Once per day, at your chosen time, you get one message:

Three things worth your attention today.
1. What changed
2. Why it matters
3. What to do next

Click through to open the relevant app thread or dispatch. Reply with explain, save, ignore, send, dig deeper, or a natural-language correction.

The brief is curated, not just bucketed. Dispatches are deduplicated, sorted by quality, and capped. A 30-dispatch day should still produce a focused brief, not a wall.

Replies update memory

Replies are not treated as generic chat. Each meaningful reply resolves to: user, channel, thread, anchor object, intent, state delta, and next step.

  • save persists positive feedback.
  • ignore persists negative feedback.
  • explain returns the why-now.
  • dig deeper continues in an app thread or email.
  • corrections update the watch brief or interest scope.

WhatsApp stays readable: long answers are written into the app thread and the WhatsApp message gets a short handoff link.

PDF on demand

Every dispatch has a Brief me · PDF action. Click it; the rendered brief opens in a new tab. Same content as the in-app dispatch, formatted for sharing with an investment partner, an editor, or a brand team.

A full daily edition can also be rendered as a PDF when you want one document to share around.

Editing delivery

All channel preferences live in Profile → Brief → Delivery, reachable from the dashboard or with /profile in cmd+k. Quiet hours, weekly-only mode, channel-specific toggles — all per-brief, applied on the next run.
