# Sorin Desktop

The standalone Sorin app is the flagship way to use Sorin — a chat-first interface where research, analysis, planning, and execution all live in the same place.

## What You Get

* Full conversational access to Sorin's intelligence layer
* Portfolio connected, persona active, alerts configured
* Cross-market research, strategy planning, and execution in one flow
* Proactive alerts and narrative tracking tuned to your holdings

## Who It's For

* Active investors who want research, planning, and execution unified
* Users who prefer a chat-first interface over traditional dashboards
* Anyone who wants Sorin as their daily driver for navigating markets

## A Day With the Standalone App

**Morning — what's moving and why:**

> "What changed overnight for my portfolio?"
>
> Sorin summarizes overnight price action, flows, and sentiment across your holdings, flags anything worth attention, and surfaces narratives that shifted.

**Midday — researching a new opportunity:**

> "Give me a full brief on \[new protocol]. Does it fit my portfolio?"
>
> Sorin pulls fundamentals, market structure, and on-chain data, then evaluates the opportunity against your existing exposure and risk profile.

**Afternoon — refining a plan:**

> "Build me a hedged long on restaking. Walk through the tradeoffs."
>
> Sorin drafts a multi-leg strategy, explains each leg, and recalculates as you refine.

**Evening — executing and monitoring:**

> "Let's put it on. Start with Leg 1, smaller size than proposed."
>
> Sorin previews the trade, executes on confirmation, and sets up monitoring for the conditions that would trigger Legs 2 and 3.

**Overnight — proactive protection:**

> Sorin alerts you if funding flips against your hedge, if collateralization thins, or if the underlying narrative shifts meaningfully — no action required on your part to stay informed.

## Key Workflows

### Daily Portfolio Check

Ask Sorin for a daily summary. Over time, it learns the shape of summary you prefer — deeper on certain positions, lighter on others, focused on specific narratives.

### Research Sessions

When you're evaluating something new, Sorin handles the research legwork — cross-referencing data, surfacing risks, and framing the opportunity against your portfolio.

### Rebalancing

Tell Sorin the shape you want your portfolio to take. It plans the trades, previews the cost and impact, and executes on confirmation.

### Event-Driven Trading

Around macro releases, protocol events, or governance decisions, Sorin helps you structure event-specific expressions and manage exposure through the event.

## Why Standalone

The standalone app is where Sorin's full value lands — research and execution in the same place, a living portfolio view, and a persona that gets sharper over time.
