Getting Started

This is the fastest way to start using Northfox.

1. Download and open Northfox​

Install Northfox, open the app, and start your trial.

There is no setup step required before your first chat.

2. Ask your first question​

Type your question the same way you would ask another analyst.

Examples:

  • "Compare MSFT and GOOGL on growth, margin, and valuation."
  • "Give me a quick risk snapshot for NVDA based on the latest filings."
  • "Show me recent price action for AMZN and explain what matters most."

On the new chat screen, you can also click a suggestion box above the input and edit it before sending.

3. Use follow-up questions instead of starting over​

Northfox keeps context in the same chat, so you can go deeper with prompts like:

  • "Focus only on the bear case."
  • "Now compare this to the previous fiscal year."
  • "Turn this into a 6-bullet investment note."

4. Save useful work as notes or memory​

Use notes for research you want to revisit later.

Use memory for stable preferences that should carry across chats.

Examples:

  • "Remember that I prefer concise answers with a final verdict."
  • "Remember that I focus on large-cap US tech."
  • "Remember that we want 6-bullet outputs for committee updates."

For more, see Research Notes and Memory.

5. Keep an eye on your trial status​

Northfox starts with a trial so you can use the app immediately.

When your trial tokens are finished:

  1. Click the token counter in the app.
  2. Northfox opens the Status modal.
  3. Use the button there to create a subscription.

You can also open /status at any time to check usage.

6. Extend Northfox when you need more automation​

If you want custom workflows, reusable prompts, or deeper integrations, Northfox supports plugins and skills.
