Market answers without the detour

When you ask Mu what is moving in markets, the answer should come fast – not after a detour through generic planning. That is the idea behind a recent refinement to how the agent handles market-mover questions. Instead of routing every query through a general-purpose planning step that can introduce unnecessary friction, the agent now recognises the intent to get market data and moves directly to the relevant services. The result is a shorter ask-to-answer loop, nothing more than what is needed to fetch the data and present it.

This is a small change, but it matters for anyone who uses Mu for quick market checks. The old flow was correct but occasionally slower because the agent would first plan a broad approach, then narrow in. Now it skips that planning step for market-mover questions and goes straight to the data source. The trade-off is that the agent is less flexible for ambiguous queries – if you ask something that sounds like a market question but is not, it might route too quickly. But for the common case of “what moved today,” the path is now shorter.

The refinement is part of a broader effort to keep the ask-to-answer loop tight across all capabilities. No algorithmic feed, no infinite scroll, no unnecessary steps. Just the tool you asked for, delivered without extra overhead.
