Vault and Terminal

Vault and Terminal

The best investment research depends on private context: your mandate, prior memos, sector work, sell-side notes, diligence files, and the assumptions your team has already debated. Until that context is available to the AI, every answer starts from an incomplete picture.

This update introduces Vault and a new Terminal experience. Vault gives Kimpton a secure place to store and retrieve your research documents. Terminal gives power users a faster, denser way to watch Kimpton work through complex analysis in real time.

What's New

  • Vault page for uploading, searching, downloading, and deleting research documents
  • PDF upload support with large-file handling and semantic search
  • Markdown upload support for internal notes and structured research
  • Pro tier gate and upgrade flow for Vault access
  • Terminal-style Ask Kimpton interface powered by xterm.js
  • Live reasoning, tool calls, command history, and resizable terminal panel

Why This Matters

Most AI research starts with whatever the model already knows or can find publicly. Real investing does not work that way. Your edge often lives in internal notes, prior diligence, portfolio constraints, and the way your team frames a problem.

Vault lets Kimpton reason with that context. Terminal makes the reasoning process easier to inspect, especially for users who want to see every data fetch, tool call, and intermediate step as it happens.

Vault

Vault is a document workspace for investment research. Upload PDFs and markdown files, search across them, and make those files available as context for future research workflows.

Terminal

The new Terminal interface turns Ask Kimpton into a denser research console. It supports ANSI-style output, command history, live reasoning streams, tool-call rendering, and a resizable panel for working through longer analysis without losing context.

  • Open Terminal with a keyboard shortcut
  • Use command history to rerun or refine prompts
  • Watch reasoning and tool calls stream live
  • Resize the panel while preserving the workspace underneath
  • Capture generated widgets into the surrounding dashboard workflow

Trade Proposal Workflows

Terminal also became a better workspace for trade proposals. Proposal tabs, canned demo workflows, and terminal-admin controls make it easier to run structured analysis while keeping the main workspace focused.
