Centaur Intelligence: Your AI Research Assistant

3 min read

Centaur Intelligence is Ezana’s AI command center. You can chat with a general assistant named Yohannes, hold “boardroom meetings” with AI personas modeled on the published thinking of well-known investors, and open a weekly Sentinel report on your portfolio.

Availability

Centaur Intelligence is listed under Research in the navigation. During the beta it carries a v1.0 badge, and on many accounts it opens a notice that the feature will be available with the v1.0 launch. If you see that notice, the feature is not yet enabled for your account.

How it works

  • Chat with Yohannes: the default assistant for general investing questions.
  • Boardroom Meetings: switch the chat to a persona inspired by the public writings and interviews of Warren Buffett (BuffettBot), Ray Dalio (DalioMind), Cathie Wood (ArkOracle), or Paul Tudor Jones (TudorSignal). Each persona shows a disclaimer that it is not affiliated with or endorsed by the real person. The Council Chamber shows additional advisors, some marked as coming soon.
  • Sentinel Weekly Report: a portfolio health and weekly briefing, with earlier reports available to reopen.
  • Debrief Queue: events you sent over from Global Market Analysis, ready to discuss.

Step-by-step

  1. Open Research → Centaur Intelligence.
  2. Type a question in the prompt box, or pick a suggested prompt.
  3. To hear a different perspective, choose an investor under Boardroom Meetings or select an advisor in the Council Chamber.
  4. Read the reply, then ask follow-ups in the same chat.
  5. Open the Sentinel Weekly Report card for your portfolio briefing.

What Centaur uses

If you have connected a brokerage, each chat request includes a summary of those holdings (ticker, quantity, cost basis, and price) and up to five recent Debrief Queue items, so replies can refer to your actual positions. Without a connected brokerage, replies are general.

Things to know

  • Replies are AI-generated text for educational purposes and end with a reminder that they are not financial advice.
  • Replies do not include source citations. Check any specific figure in Company Research or at the original source before acting on it.
  • There is a short-term limit on how many messages you can send per minute. If you hit it, wait a minute and try again.

Troubleshooting

  • Seeing a v1.0 notice? The feature is not yet enabled for your account.
  • “Too many requests”? You hit the per-minute limit; pause briefly.
  • Replies ignore your holdings? Only holdings from a connected brokerage are shared; connect one from Home.
