A well-organized watchlist is the foundation of active investing. Before you can track a stock, you need to find it -- and that means searching by company name, industry, or description when you do not have the ticker memorized. Building and maintaining watchlists across different themes, sectors, or strategies keeps your research organized.

The search_symbol skill helps you find the right ticker by company name or keyword, while get_quote lets you check the current status of every stock on your list. Together they let you build and monitor themed watchlists like "AI stocks," "dividend aristocrats," or "recent IPOs" without leaving your conversation.

This is valuable for investors building investment theses around specific themes, analysts tracking a universe of coverage stocks, and anyone who wants to stay on top of a curated set of companies. The conversational format makes it easy to add, remove, and check on watchlist members interactively.
