The WM Analyst panel (internal id chat-analyst) is the dashboard’s conversational-intelligence surface: a chat interface you can drop a question into — “what’s happening in the Red Sea today?”, “which economies are most exposed to a Hormuz closure?” — and get a source-aware, structured answer grounded in the live WorldMonitor caches.

​
What the panel shows

A chat transcript with a composer at the bottom. Messages are rendered with Markdown → HTML pipeline (marked + DOMPurify sanitisation + post-processed analyst formatting). History is bounded to the last 20 turns (MAX_HISTORY = 20 in src/components/ChatAnalystPanel.ts). Panel-level controls:
  • Quick action buttons at the top of the panel — Situation (world brief), Markets, Conflicts, Forecasts, Risk. Clicking runs a pre-built query.
  • Domain selector — All / Geo / Market / Military (+ more). Scopes which caches the analyst draws from.
  • Dashboard control — an opt-in Control dashboard toggle with a Pause control. When enabled, schema-validated Analyst action events can focus an already-live panel, move the map view, or toggle permitted map layers. When off or paused, the answer still streams but dashboard actions are skipped.
  • Composer — free-form text input; Enter to send.
Panel id is chat-analyst; canonical component is src/components/ChatAnalystPanel.ts. Title “WM Analyst” per src/config/panels.ts:52.

​
How you reach it

  • Cmd+K: type analyst or ask.
  • Availability by variant: registered and enabled by default in the full/geopolitical variant only (premium: 'locked' at src/config/panels.ts:52). Not present in the tech, finance, commodity, or happy variants.

​
Data sources

The panel POSTs to /api/chat-analyst (edge function backed by api/chat-analyst.ts) via premiumFetch(), which injects the caller’s credentials (WORLDMONITOR_API_KEY on desktop, Clerk bearer + PRO in the browser). The edge function composes context from the intelligence, conflict, markets, forecasts, and risk caches (scoped to the selected domain), streams tokens back, and the panel renders incrementally. No separate /chat-analyst/v1/* RPC surface — this is a first-class edge endpoint, not a proto-generated RPC.

​
Dashboard control actions

Dashboard control v1 is in-app and in-process only. /api/chat-analyst may stream validated action events alongside the answer, and src/app/agent-bus-applier.ts is the only client write boundary that mutates panels or the map. The applier enforces entitlement checks, live panel existence, map availability, variant-allowed layers, renderer executability, and premium layer gating before applying any action. External MCP write tools, Convex action queues, and cross-user command delivery are not exposed in this version.

​
Refresh cadence

Each send is a fresh LLM call — no caching of analyst answers. Typical response latency is 3-15s depending on question complexity and upstream cache freshness.

​
Tier & gating

PRO (hard-locked). premium: 'locked' in src/config/panels.ts:52. isPanelEntitled unlocks it when either a valid WORLDMONITOR_API_KEY is present or isPro is true (src/config/panels.ts:973 — apiKeyPanels allowlist includes chat-analyst).
