The AI Flow Assistant lets you ask natural-language questions about options flow and get instant, institutional-level analysis. Use it to surface high-value flow, ratios, and unusual activity without manually scanning filters.

## What the AI Flow Assistant Does

The assistant analyzes real-time and historical options flow data and answers questions in plain language. It can:

- Filter flow by premium, size, ticker, and expiration
- Compute call/put ratios and sentiment
- Identify unusual options activity
- Summarize flow by time period or symbol

## Example Queries

### High-Value Flow

- "Show me today's $1M+ options flow"
- "What are the largest options trades in the last hour?"
- "List all trades over $500K premium today"

### Ratios and Sentiment

- "What is the call/put ratio for NVDA today?"
- "Show me bullish vs. bearish flow for SPX"
- "What is the sentiment breakdown for TSLA this week?"

### Unusual Activity

- "Top unusual options activity right now?"
- "Which tickers have the most unusual flow today?"
- "Show me stocks with volume significantly above open interest"

### Ticker-Specific

- "What options flow is there for AAPL?"
- "Show me all NVDA calls over $100K today"
- "Flow for SPX 0DTE in the last 30 minutes"

## How to Use It Effectively

### 1. Be Specific

- Good: "Show me NVDA call flow over $250K in the last 2 hours"
- Vague: "Show me some flow"

### 2. Combine with Time Frames

- "Today", "this week", "last hour", "pre-market" help narrow results
- For day trading, focus on "today" or "last hour"

### 3. Use for Screening

- Ask for high-value or unusual flow first
- Then apply your manual filters (e.g. price, size, expiration) on the results

### 4. Cross-Check with Manual Analysis

- AI answers are a starting point, not a substitute for your process
- Confirm with price action, Dealer Edge, and Algo Edge before trading

## Combining AI Insights with Manual Analysis

### Workflow Example

1. **AI**: "Show me today's $1M+ options flow"
2. **Review**: Note tickers and strikes with the largest premium
3. **Manual**: Open Option Flow, apply your filters, look for clusters on those tickers
4. **Confirm**: Check Dealer Edge direction and price action
5. **Execute**: Enter only when your full checklist is satisfied

### When AI Helps Most

- Scanning many symbols quickly
- Getting call/put ratios without manual calculation
- Finding unusual activity you might have missed
- Summarizing flow for a specific ticker or time window

### When to Rely on Manual Filters

- Fine-tuning by premium, size, and expiration
- Verifying execution (at ask vs. bid)
- Checking strike clustering and repeat alerts
- Building and maintaining your watchlist

## Best Practices

1. **Use AI for discovery**: Let it surface candidates, then validate manually
2. **Iterate on queries**: If the first answer is too broad, add constraints (ticker, size, time)
3. **Stay consistent**: Use similar query patterns so you can compare results over time
4. **Do not trade on AI alone**: Always confirm with your full trading checklist
