Obside Chat isn't only an automation tool — it's also a **market assistant** that helps you interpret what's happening and improve your skills.

* [**Decode the news**](/obside-chat/understand-the-market/decode-the-news.md) — summaries and impact of economic events.
* [**Read the market**](/obside-chat/understand-the-market/read-the-market.md) — directional reads and macro overviews.
* [**Learn the basics**](/obside-chat/understand-the-market/learn-the-basics.md) — pedagogical explanations on trading and investing.

{% hint style="info" %}
These conversations don't create agents — they give you contextualized answers based on market data, news and financial knowledge. The credit cost is minimal (about 1 credit per message).
