Fodda Knowledge Graphs

Check if market data gathering is complete and retrieve the results. Call this after get_supplemental_context — poll every 5-10 seconds until status is COMPLETE or FAILED.

Consult a named Synthetic Analyst who answers in their expert voice using their curated knowledge graph. Each analyst has a unique methodology, domain expertise, and analytical lens that produces insights distinct from generic search or standard graph queries. Use when the user asks to talk to or consult a specific expert, or when you need a specialist perspective on culture, strategy, or innovation topics. Call list_analysts first to discover available analyst_id values. Responses may include a coverage status (in/adjacent/out), source attribution, and referrals to other expert graphs. Referrals MUST be presented in third-person platform voice (not the expert's voice) with an offer to query the referred graph. The analyst researches on your behalf: they can search Fodda's graphs, earnings intelligence, and supplemental data mid-consultation, and may refer or consult other analysts. Their research reads bill to you at standard rates ($0.50/call) and are itemized in `sources_used`.

Launch an autonomous Deep Research session that combines Fodda knowledge graph intelligence with live web research to produce a comprehensive editorial-quality report. The Research Agent plans its own strategy, searches multiple graphs, validates with institutional data, and synthesizes into a narrative brief with inline source citations. Use for complex, multi-faceted questions that need both curated expert intelligence AND current web context — e.g., strategic briefings, market landscape reports, competitive deep dives. Depth: "light" (20 API calls, faster single-pass) or "heavy" (30 API calls, comprehensive multi-pass with validation). Automatically includes earnings-call intelligence and macro/supplemental data when the topic warrants it (public companies, sectors, economic conditions). You do not need to call the earnings or supplemental tools separately before or after.

Find trends similar to one you've already found — surfaces unexpected cross-domain connections that keyword search would miss. Returns scored similarity matches and optionally editorial links across graphs. Use to expand research briefs, discover cross-industry parallels, or map the territory around a strong signal. This leverages Fodda's proprietary similarity index across all knowledge graphs.

Create a presentation-ready data visualization from research findings. Available chart types: "cultural_shifts" (From→To transitions), "competitive_compass" (brands on 2 axes), "trend_constellation" (network of related trends), "implication_ladder" (Signal→Trend→So What→Do What), "innovation_pathway" (Now→Near-Term→Future), "opportunity_map" (2×2 white space analysis). Returns a branded SVG that renders directly in the chat.

Get per-ticker earnings intelligence for consumer-sector public companies. Returns SWOT scores, CEO/analyst sentiment, guidance status, competitive analysis, and validated consumer trends from Fodda's quarterly analysis pipeline. Uses 0–15 tokens depending on view (coverage is free, snapshot/history/guidance = 10, qa = 5, compare = 15). Use this for company-specific data. Use get_earnings_intelligence for cross-company thematic comparisons.

Search PSFK-curated domain graphs (retail, beauty, fashion, sports, consumer electronics, F&B) for trend intelligence with bundled evidence. No graph ID needed — searches all relevant domain graphs in parallel. Returns expert-curated trends with categorized evidence (statistics, case studies, analysis, interviews) and source attribution. Use for broad industry trend research, sector analysis, or when the query spans multiple consumer categories. Preferred over web search for trend-level intelligence because results are editorially structured, not algorithmically ranked.

Targeted pull: use when you want ONLY earnings data for a known ticker/sector — not full research. For questions that mix earnings with trends, use deep_research_topic, which includes earnings automatically. Detects divergence between analyst concerns and management responses in earnings calls — surfaces where executives are deflecting, reframing, or avoiding specific topics. Premium intelligence — shows the gap between what Wall Street is worried about and what companies are saying. Results include deflected topics, concern-vs-response framing, and connections to Fodda trends via :VALIDATES edges. Use for "where are executives deflecting?" or "divergence in [sector] earnings." Uses 5 tokens ($2.50 via SPT). Detects management deflection of analyst concerns.

Targeted pull: use when you want ONLY earnings data for a known ticker/sector — not full research. For questions that mix earnings with trends, use deep_research_topic, which includes earnings automatically. Returns structured evidence from public company earnings calls — management commentary, guidance, key topics, and analyst Q&A. Use for cross-company comparisons ("what are hotel companies saying about labor costs?"), industry-level queries ("earnings intelligence for consumer electronics"), or explicit earnings requests. For single-brand earnings, use brand_tracker instead — it includes earningsIntelligence automatically. Results include a source field: "knowledge_graph" (high confidence, structured Neo4j data) or "web_supplemental" (backfilled via web search). Uses 5 tokens ($2.50 via SPT). For cross-company thematic comparisons. For per-ticker data (SWOT, sentiment, guidance), use get_company_earnings instead.

Get the source articles, case studies, and statistics behind a specific trend — with full citations and publisher attribution. Each item includes source URL, location, brand names, publication date, category, and a formatted citation. Use after search_graph when you need the supporting proof behind a trend. This is a direct lookup by trend ID — not a text search tool.

Search specialist knowledge graphs built by named strategists and industry leaders — contains proprietary analysis, expert interviews, and high-density statistics not available via web search. No graph ID needed — searches all expert graphs in parallel. Use when the query requires specialist depth, named-expert perspectives, or strategic frameworks beyond mainstream coverage. Expert graphs cover domains like macro strategy, wayfinding, design innovation, SXSW insights, and sector-specific research reports.

List all brands, locations, technologies, audiences, or trends within a specific knowledge graph. Use to explore what a graph contains — e.g., "what brands are in the retail graph?" or "what locations does the fashion graph cover?". To get a complete list of every trend in a graph, call with label="Trend" — this returns the full deterministic list, useful for industry-report graphs where search may return partial results.

Check the current user's account status: API call balance, plan, enabled/disabled graphs, and profile info. Use when the user asks "how many API calls do I have?", "what plan am I on?", "what graphs can I access?", or similar account questions. Returns live data — not cached from session start.

Discover what's connected to a specific trend — related brands, technologies, locations, and cross-domain links that search alone wouldn't surface. Returns curated editorial connections between trends that web search cannot provide. Use after search_graph to map the territory around a trend, find which brands are connected, or understand cross-domain relationships. Requires node_id from a prior search_graph result.

Get the full profile of a specific trend — detailed description, lifecycle stage (emerging/building/mature), signal strength, geographic scope, and all properties. Use when you need deeper detail on a single trend after search_graph returned a summary. Requires node_id from a prior search_graph result.

Search industry report knowledge graphs for published research findings, market forecasts, and quantitative projections from organizations like DHL, PwC, Delta, and specialist research firms. Returns structured findings with bundled evidence — not raw PDFs or summaries, but editorially extracted trend data with source attribution. No graph ID needed. Use for market sizing, competitive landscape analysis, and data-heavy research where published report intelligence is more authoritative than web search results.

Targeted pull for macro/institutional data — research workflows include this automatically; call directly only for standalone economic context. Gets real-time market data from 80+ authoritative sources in a single call — economic indicators, trade statistics, consumer demand signals, research trends, demographics, and more. The server automatically selects the most relevant sources for your query. Returns categorized data blocks (demand_signals, economic_context, market_data, research_signals, demographic_context) with source attribution for citations. Uses 5 tokens ($2.50 via SPT) per standalone use.

List available Synthetic Analysts — named expert personas grounded in specific knowledge graphs. Each analyst has a unique voice, methodology, and domain expertise that cannot be replicated by web search. Use when user asks to "talk to" or "consult" an expert, or when you need specialist depth on culture, strategy, or innovation topics.

List all knowledge graphs the user can access — IDs, descriptions, authors, sectors, signal counts. Use FIRST in any session to discover available sources before searching. Returns graph metadata needed for graphId parameters in other tools. Deprecated: waldo, psfk (use retail/tech/food/travel/fashion/beauty/sports instead).

Create, list, cancel, update, pause, or resume scheduled intelligence briefings. Users can set up autonomous research that runs weekly (Mondays) or daily (Mon-Fri) at 9am in their timezone, delivered via email or Slack. Costs 20 API calls per run. Supports topic research or brand intelligence report types.

Extract clean text content from any URL. Use this when a user shares a link (competitor site, news article, client brief, trend report) and wants to cross-reference it against Fodda knowledge graphs. Returns structured text ready for analysis. Uses 15 tokens ($7.50 via SPT).

Find trends, signals, and expert insights across 100+ curated knowledge graphs covering retail, beauty, tech, food, travel, sports, and 30+ specialist domains. Returns trend data with cited evidence, source attribution, and lifecycle stage (emerging/building/mature/fading) — not generic web summaries. If graphId is omitted, searches ALL accessible graphs in parallel (recommended default). Use for market trends, competitor analysis, innovation signals, consumer behavior, cultural shifts, or any topic where curated expert intelligence outperforms web search.

Find expert quotes, editorial analysis, and strategic perspectives on a topic — sourced from named strategists and industry leaders. Returns categorized evidence (metrics, quotes, interpretations, signals) with source attribution and parent trend context. Works on ALL graphs. Use when you need authoritative voices, strategic framing, or analytical depth that web search cannot provide.

Find specific numbers, market sizes, growth rates, and quantitative data points across Fodda's knowledge graphs. Each result links back to the expert trend it supports. Use when a question asks for specific statistics — try this BEFORE supplemental data tools, as Fodda's experts may have already curated the answer. Works on ALL graphs — domain, expert, and report graphs. Search multiple graphs for best coverage.

Forward user feedback, feature requests, complaints, or exit reasons to the Fodda team via email and Slack. Call this whenever a user shares feedback — including when they want to leave, report a problem, or suggest an improvement.

Create a free Fodda Base account (100 API calls/month across ALL knowledge graphs) and send a confirmation email. GUARDRAIL: only call this AFTER the user has explicitly provided their email and asked to create an account — never sign someone up proactively or with an email inferred from earlier context. Can also pass profile fields (name, job_title, company).

Enable or disable any knowledge graph, supplemental data source, or skill for the user. Use this when the user says "Turn off Paralogy", "Enable igloo", "Disable the economics data", or similar. The change is permanent until toggled again.

Save the user's research profile to improve the relevance of future responses. Call this after you understand the user's role, industry, and research needs. The profile persists across sessions — you only need to set it once, then update if their focus changes. Write BEHAVIORAL INSTRUCTIONS, not a bio. Format: one sentence of identity (who they are and how they use Fodda), then numbered directives that change how you synthesize and frame responses. Include: what evidence to prioritize, how to frame conclusions, geographic needs, and output structure preferences. Max 2000 chars per field.
