Overview
Sign-in to your first Daily Brief and follow-up thread.
Setup is shaped around your brief, your Interests list, and the channels where Scout should reach you. Six steps, most of them automatic.
1. Sign up
Onboarding captures your brief: a name, your focus areas, a context paragraph (your thesis / editorial angle), competitors or rivals you race, and how you want to be reached.
You don't configure individual alerts. The brief is the durable watch memory.
2. Land on the Interests list
After onboarding you arrive on /dashboard — your Interests list. Each
focus area you named in onboarding has already become a standing
interest. Toggle between List and By tag from
the top of the page; click a tag chip to filter.
The Wire — the live dispatch feed — sits one click
away at /dashboard/wire. It is secondary; the main loop is Scout reaching
you through a Daily Brief and letting you reply.
3. Create or refine an interest
Either accept the ones onboarding stamped out, or open /dashboard/interests/new
(or hit cmd+k and type /new) to create another. The form is tabbed: name,
query, tags up top; Signals / Investigation / Strategy underneath. Most
fields inherit sensible defaults from your brief.
4. Wait for the first Daily Brief
Interests run on a schedule. Within the first digest cadence, Scout sends the first Daily Brief: three things worth your attention, each with what changed, why it matters, sources, and a next action.
5. Reply or open a thread
Each Daily Brief item and dispatch supports the same reply grammar:
- explain — why this matters now.
- save — keep this signal close.
- ignore — suppress weak or irrelevant repeats.
- send — prepare a share/forward.
- dig deeper — continue in an app thread or email.
Long WhatsApp explanations hand off to an app thread so the chat stays readable. Email replies normalize into the same conversation memory where supported.
6. Manage with cmd+k
Anything you'd expect a "settings" tree to do can happen through the Interests list, cmd+k, and slash commands.

There is no separate templates page; cmd+k is the surface.
Edit your brief any time. Changes apply on the next run — there's no rebuild step. A sharp brief produces a sharp Daily Brief; refine it as you go.
