Signals is a web-search-backed research pass that surfaces recent developments in your competitor set and market.

​
The output

Each Signals run produces two things:
  1. Signal cards — 3-8 items, each tagged with category (product, pricing, funding, hiring, GTM, market), competitor name, impact level (high / med / low), and a real source URL.
  2. Market digest — 60-120 words of prose synthesising the run.

​
How it works

  1. You click Run Research (or Refresh Research) on the Signals page.
  2. Xura sends your configured competitors, sources, and window (30/90/180/365 days) to the research agent.
  3. The agent does web_search calls (capped at 5) to find recent stories.
  4. Results are normalised, JSON-parsed, and returned to your Signals surface.
  5. Persisted to your profile so the next visit shows the cached run.

​
Sub-tabs

  • Market Intelligence — signal cards + market digest.
  • Sources — competitors, preferred domains, research model, your priorities.

​
Empty results

If the agent finds nothing in your window, Xura auto-retries once with a wider window (2× your pick, capped at 365 days). Still empty results are not cached — the next page visit re-attempts fresh instead of showing “0 signals · updated 1 day ago” indefinitely.

​
The 24-hour cooldown

Once a run produces real signals, the button locks for 24 hours. This exists because:
  • Each run costs web_search calls + a large LLM turn (~0.10−0.10-0.40 depending on model).
  • Signals don’t change materially inside 24h for most industries.
  • Server enforces the cooldown too, not just client — bypassing storage clears won’t help.
Empty runs don’t count against the cooldown; you can retry immediately if a run finds nothing.
