Getting Started with Taufolio

Welcome to Taufolio. This guide walks you through generating your first investor report on a public company, end to end.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, you'll need:

  • A free Taufolio account (250 credits on sign-up, plus 100 more each month)
  • A US-listed ticker you want to research (e.g. AAPL, NVDA, CHGG)
  • A few minutes to read the result - choose Deep Research to learn the company from scratch or Short Recap to catch up on the last month

Setting Up Your Project

Create your account and your first workspace:

  1. Sign up at taufolio.com
  2. Confirm your email
  3. Land in your dashboard with 250 free credits ready to spend

There's nothing to install. Taufolio runs in the browser.

The Data Behind Every Report

You don't manage API keys to use Taufolio - we handle the data sources for you. Behind the scenes, every investor report pulls from:

  • SEC filings - 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K
  • Earnings transcripts - verbatim, with citations
  • Pricing and fundamentals - refreshed before each run
  • News and primary sources - linked inline so you can verify every claim

Running Your First Report

To produce your first investor report:

  1. From the dashboard, paste a ticker (e.g. AAPL)
  2. Choose Short Recap for a monthly company-events update or Deep Research to understand the business from scratch
  3. Watch the report stream in with citations attached to each claim

Open the report and skim the table of contents on the right to jump to the section you care about - bull case, bear case, valuation, risks.

Next Steps

Once your first report is in your library, explore:

  • Compare two companies side by side
  • Re-run a report after earnings to see what changed
  • Export the report to share with your team
  • Check the examples gallery for fresh sample investor reports on AAPL, NVDA, and CHGG, or learn how to analyze a company by hand

Happy researching.

Frequently asked questions

Is Taufolio free to try?
Yes - a free account comes with 250 credits on sign-up, enough to run your first reports without paying. There's nothing to install; Taufolio runs in the browser.
What do I need to run an investor report?
A free account and a US-listed ticker (like AAPL or NVDA). You don't manage API keys or data sources - Taufolio pulls the filings, transcripts, fundamentals, and news for you.
How long does a report take to generate?
A Short Recap is the fastest report and summarizes recent company events. A Deep Research report takes longer because it reads a broader evidence base and works through the business in more depth.
Which companies can I research on Taufolio?
US-listed public companies, identified by ticker. Each report is built from that company's own SEC filings and earnings-call transcripts.
