longbridge ai

longbridge ai opens a full-screen chat with LongbridgeAI inside your terminal. Ask about markets, quotes, filings, or your own portfolio; the answer streams in live, rendered as Markdown with charts, tables, and live quote cards drawn in the terminal.

The model and its tools run server-side, so the CLI only needs your Longbridge login — no API key, no model configuration, and nothing to install beyond the CLI itself.

longbridge ai

Demo

Before you start

Sign in once — every CLI command shares the same session:

longbridge auth login

You can also start longbridge ai while signed out and run /login from inside the chat: it opens your browser to authorize the terminal (the URL is copied to the clipboard too, in case the browser does not open).

The screen

Area	What it shows
Title bar	The brand badge, a Sessions button, the conversation title, and a ticker of every security this chat has mentioned with its live quote
Transcript	Your questions and the streamed answers, plus tool activity and references
Prompt	A multi-line editor; / opens the command palette, which hangs off the prompt box
Status row	Streaming spinner while a turn runs, ▲ Scrolled up when you have scrolled back, and one-line confirmations (Copied to clipboard., Exported to …)

Click a security — in the ticker, or where an answer mentions it — to open its quote card: last price and change with an intraday sparkline, O/H/L, previous close, volume and turnover, average price, amplitude, turnover rate, volume ratio, PE (TTM), PB, market cap, EPS, and net assets per share. ←/→ (or the [<] / [>] buttons) step through the other securities in the conversation, and More ↗ opens the security on longbridge.com.

Asking questions

Type a question and press Enter. Shift+Enter inserts a newline, and pasted multi-line text is inserted whole rather than submitted line by line.

How is TQQQ doing this year?
How did my portfolio do today?
What is the outlook for the Hang Seng Index?
Compare NVDA.US and AMD.US on revenue growth and margins
Summarize Tesla's latest quarterly filing

While an answer is streaming, Esc cancels it. Esc on an idle screen clears the input — it never quits.

Suggested follow-ups and references

An answer can come back with source references and suggested follow-up questions. Click a follow-up, or press Alt+1 … Alt+9, to send it as your next question. References list where the answer's facts came from.

Questions the agent asks you

Some tasks need your input before the agent can continue. LongbridgeAI can raise three kinds of prompt in the transcript:

• A question with options — click an option to answer. X skips the question; Esc lets you type a free-text answer instead.
• A multi-select question — toggle several options, then Confirm selection.
• An authorization request — Allow or Decline before the agent runs the action.

Cancelling the turn drops the pending question; starting a new conversation clears it.

Slash commands

Press / for the command palette — ↑/↓ to move, Enter, Tab, or a click to run. Typing a prefix filters the list.

Command	What it does
/new (/clear)	Start a new chat
/retry (/regenerate)	Regenerate the last answer
/copy	Copy the last answer to the clipboard
/export	Export the conversation to a Markdown file
/quote [SYMBOL]	Open a live quote — for the given symbol, or the last one mentioned
/resume	Open saved conversations and resume one
/settings	Open Settings
/agent <agent-id> · /agent reset	Switch agent, or return to LongbridgeAI
/login	Sign in to Longbridge
/logout	Sign out
/help	Show the command and key reference
/exit (/quit)	Exit

A bare exit or quit typed at the prompt also leaves, as does pressing Ctrl+C twice.

How answers are rendered

Everything is drawn with the terminal's own colors, so the chat follows your theme.

• Markdown — headings, lists, emphasis, links, and blockquotes.
• Code blocks — shaded background, a language tag, and syntax highlighting.
• Tables — box-drawn and column-aligned.
• Charts — the agent's vis-chart output is drawn in the terminal: line, area, dual-axes and scatter plots, vertical column bars over a labelled value axis, solid horizontal bars, a braille donut for pie, a braille polygon for radar, histogram ranges, and a five-number summary for boxplot. Narrow terminals fall back to a simpler form rather than breaking.
• Quote cards — a security the answer references is drawn as a card with its current quote.
• Tool activity — which tools the turn ran, and which failed (see Settings).

Conversations

Conversations are stored on your Longbridge account, not only on this machine, so the chats you start in the terminal are the same ones you see in LongbridgeAI elsewhere. Titles are generated by the server as the conversation takes shape.

/resume (or Ctrl+R) opens the list: numbered entries with their title and agent · age, live search as you type, per-entry delete, and a New session action. Enter or a click resumes; Esc clears the search, then goes back.

Resuming restores the transcript, the ticker, and any question that was still waiting for your answer.

Copy and export

• Select text — drag across the transcript to select; double-click selects a word, triple-click a line. The selection is copied when you release (over OSC 52, so it works through SSH when your terminal allows it).
• /copy — copies the last answer.
• /export — writes the conversation to longbridge-ai-<title>-<timestamp>.md in your Downloads folder (falling back to your home directory), and prints the path.

Settings

/settings opens the settings screen. Changes apply immediately and persist in ~/.longbridge/terminal.json, shared with longbridge tui.

Setting	Description
Up/Down colors	Which color means a rising price — red up or green up
Tool calls	Which of a turn's tool calls stay in the transcript: all, failures only, or off
Notify when done	Ring the terminal when an answer lands and the window is not focused
Ticker in the title bar	Show the securities this chat has mentioned, with their quotes
Live quote cards	Draw a security an answer references as a card with its current quote

Turning off live quote cards also saves two quote requests per answer.

The settings screen also shows the account panel: sign-in status, when the session expires, and Sign in / Sign out actions.

Choosing an agent

By default the chat talks to the LongbridgeAI assistant. To use another agent from your workspace:

# Discover the agents available to your account
longbridge agent list

# Start the chat with a specific agent
longbridge ai --agent <AGENT_UID>

Inside the chat, /agent <agent-id> switches agent (which starts a new conversation) and /agent reset returns to LongbridgeAI.

Options

Option	Description
--agent <AGENT>	Agent UID to converse with; defaults to the LongbridgeAI assistant
--lang <LANG>	Language for content fetched from longbridge.com (zh-CN or en); defaults to your LANG
-v, --verbose	Print request info (host, elapsed) to stderr

Troubleshooting

"Sign in to ask" — the session expired or you are signed out. Run /login, or longbridge auth login in another terminal.

"Terminal too small" — the chat needs a larger window; resize and it redraws.

No conversations listed — the list is loaded from your account. If it reports a load failure, check your connection and reopen the list.
