Ask, read, follow. Here is how it works.
Ten short guides to Amten: how a story is built, the three directions of research (make sense, the missing chapter, another future), asking and branching, following and versions, Stories of the day, credits, and how every number is made and checked.
By Amten Research · Updated
Getting started: ask, read and follow your first story
Ask a question on amten.ai, create an account or sign in, read your first story beat by beat and follow it. Covers early access, the 400-credit sign-up grant and installing Amten on a phone or desktop.
Start here →02 · ReadReading a story: the lay of the land, beats and the route
How an Amten story is built: the lay of the land, the beat, the eight-chapter route, keyboard and phone gestures, "How to read this picture", the evidence sidebar, "Show the working" and how firm a beat is.
Read the guide →03 · Make senseMake sense: hear what the price is saying
The first direction of research in Amten: reverse-engineer what the price needs, check it against base rates, read the business per $100 of sales, hear the crowd in owners and options, place it in the macro and sector backdrop, and weigh competing readings.
Read the guide →04 · The missing chapterThe missing chapter: what the price has not caught
The second direction of research in Amten: the hidden cast of customers and suppliers, early signals from alternative data, contradictions between signal families, items with no measured price reaction, and how a variant perception becomes a test.
Read the guide →05 · Another futureAnother future: change an assumption, find a different ending
The third direction of research in Amten: carry a shock through a world model of companies, sectors and funds, see who it reaches and whose story breaks, compare three endings, and watch the storyline change. Includes the rates +1 point example.
Read the guide →06 · AskAsking and branching: grow a story from any beat
Where the ask box lives, how Amten routes a question (an existing shared branch, a free computation or a new build), why the price is shown first, how branches nest, and how shared branches are scrubbed.
Read the guide →07 · FollowFollowing and versions: stories that change when the evidence does
Follow a story or a subject, read "How this story changed" as a diff between versions, see the NVIDIA version 1 to version 2 example, and set notifications, the inbox and the email digest.
Read the guide →08 · FollowStories of the day: how Amten decides what is worth telling
How Stories of the day are found: an all-day scan schedule, event triggers, a five-part materiality test, 0 to 10 stories a day, the eight story kinds and the nightly refresh of the ~300 most-followed US listings.
Read the guide →09 · AccountCredits and pricing: what things cost and why
How Amten credits work: 1 credit = $0.01, the 400-credit sign-up grant, the Lite, Standard and Pro plans, one-time credit packs, what reading and building cost, expiry rules, paying each version once and the low-balance prompt.
Read the guide →10 · TrustEvidence and trust: how Amten makes a number
How Amten's numbers are made and checked: code computes with workings, a classifier judges, the writing uses only verified facts, competing readings, confidence bands, no advice, no vendor names, US-listed coverage and illustrative examples in the guides.
