Live values from each operator's public data, refreshed about every minute.

One interface. Each market keeps its own rules.

Markets are easy to compare side by side, but we keep each one's names, timing and rules. Those details often explain a price move.

Keep the native clock

Five-minute prices stay five-minute, and hourly forecasts stay hourly. Nothing is resampled to look uniform.

Keep the native map

Nodes, hubs, zones, plants and lines are all on the map, where they physically are.

Keep the source attached

Every answer shows who published the data, when it last refreshed and how a number was worked out.

Constrain the agent

The market you pick decides which terms, tools and datasets the agent uses.

Every grid, live in the product.

Demand, prices, generation, grid geography, and market events, live in the product today.
