Talon · AI analyst in Skylit · Beta
Ask the chart what matters. Keep the call.
Talon is the analyst built into Skylit. Ask about the chart or map you have open and get a short, sourced read of the options structure, flow and news.
The problem
Your question is simple. Getting the answer isn't.
- You want to know where this stalls and what has to break for it to run. Reading the whole options map to find out takes time.
- Levels, flow, dark pool, earnings and news all sit on different screens, and you're the one stitching them together.
- A general chatbot gives you a level from memory, with no way to tell where that number came from.
With Talon
One question, from the page you're already on
Talon sees the page you have open and the ticker in focus, so on an NVDA chart "what are the levels?" is a complete question. It answers from live Skylit data and the Skylit Academy: the gamma (GEX) and vanna (VEX) map, options flow, dark pool prints, company events and news. You get the structure: the levels it points to, the price that would prove the idea wrong, and the risk-to-reward between them. Whether to act stays with you.
How it works
Talon, step by step
Open it anywhere
Press Cmd + \ on Mac or Ctrl + \ on Windows, or tap the round Aegis button and pick Talon. It is one conversation and one history everywhere you open it.
Match your timeframe
Pick Scalp, Day, Swing or Position under the message box. It decides which expirations Talon reads, so a scalp read and a position read of the same ticker can rightly disagree.
Ask a pointed question
"Where does this turn?" or "what has to break for this to run?" gets more than "give me the levels." Or type / for a slash command like /levels, /flow or /trinity.
Check it and push back
Compare any level with the Heatseeker map or Atlas chart it came from. If a number looks wrong, say so: Talon fetches the data again and shows its source.

Capabilities
What you can do with Talon
Get the key levels on any ticker
/levels returns the key GEX/VEX levels, each labeled with its instrument. /trinity reads SPXW, SPY and QQQ together and tells you whether they agree.
See the trade map on one screen
/talon NVDA lays out the structure as a card: an entry reference, the levels the structure points to with their expiry, the structural invalidation and the risk-to-reward. It describes the structure; it does not make the decision.
Scan a sector, theme or watchlist
Run /talon sector semis, a theme like ai or datacenters, or /watchlist on your Atlas list to see which names have structure. Scans tell you how many names they read, and "nothing qualifies" is a real answer.
Read flow, dark pool, earnings and news
/flow shows today's single-leg flow against the week and the premium leaders. /darkpool covers off-exchange block prints over five sessions. /earnings and /news fill in dates and recent headlines with their publisher.
Research a company in plain words
Ask what a company does, who its peers are, and what insider and Congress filings show. Research answers cite their sources.
Work full screen with a live chart
On Pro, the /talon full page puts a live chart of the symbol you are discussing next to the conversation, with SPX, SPY, QQQ and CVIX across the top. Talon can mark its levels on that chart.

Why traders pay for it
What Talon puts in your hands
What's uniquely in hand
An analyst that reads the same live Skylit data you do (positioning, flow, dark pool, company events and news) and shows where every number came from.
Time it gives back
One question from the page you are on replaces reading the whole options map, the flow and the calendar yourself. Scans cover a sector or a watchlist in one pass.
What it replaces
A general-purpose AI chat that cannot see your data, and the cross-checking between screens you would do by hand.
Included with Pro.Market data licensed via NASDAQ, CBOE and OPRA.
Pairs with
Talon with the rest of Skylit
Heatseeker
Ask on the heatmap page: "What's the read?" or "What changed in 5m?" Then check any level against the map itself.
Atlas
Talon reads the chart you have open: structure, levels and velocity. On the full page, open the symbol in Atlas in one tap.
Flowseeker
/flow and /darkpool answer from flow data. On the Live feed or Scanner, Talon reads your filters and what printed through them.
Congress answers show a card(in the guide, opens the docs in a new tab)
Asking whether Congress has traded a stock now shows a card with totals, a monthly chart of filings, filing sizes, whose account held them and the latest filings. On a phone, the filing-size rows and chart labels now show in full.
Congress answers chart the price with filings marked(in the guide, opens the docs in a new tab)
A question about a stock's congressional trades now shows its price over two years with every filing marked on it. You can switch between Filed, Traded and Both, and it opens on Filed.
New /congress command(in the guide, opens the docs in a new tab)
Type /congress to see which stocks members of Congress have traded recently, ranked by how many members traded each. Type /congress NVDA, or another ticker, to see that stock's filings. The bare command stays market-wide on any page.
How do I get access to Talon?
Talon is included with Pro. It opens from the Aegis panel on any page, and there is also a full page at /talon with a live chart. Talon is in Beta.
Is this the same Talon as the scans Glitch posts on Substack?
No. This is the Talon chat, the analyst inside the Skylit app. The Talon scans that Glitch, Skylit's founder, posts on his Substack are a separate product that shares the name.
Will Talon tell me what to trade?
No. Talon lays out the structure, the levels it points to, the invalidation and the risk-to-reward. It will not make the call or size a position, even if you ask. Ask it why, and it explains where it draws the line.
Where do Talon's numbers come from?
Levels, strikes, expiries, dates and prices come from live Skylit data, not from the model's memory. Not every kind of answer is checked against that data yet, so compare any level with the Heatseeker map or Atlas chart before you act on it.
Why does Talon's king node differ from the one on my map?
Talon reads the expirations your timeframe selects. A map showing other expirations can have a different king node. Match the timeframe to your holding period.
Does it work outside market hours?
Yes. Talon reads live data during market hours and the last close after hours.

Talon reads the structure, flow and news for you. Every trading decision stays yours. Educational, not financial advice.
