Use the web app when
- You want the full interactive experience: open a workbook, edit it, and browse every source.
- You are reviewing or sharing results and want to trace citations in detail.
- You prefer a dedicated surface for research rather than a chat.
Use the connector when
- You already work in an AI assistant and want research without leaving it.
- You want Kepler’s cited numbers in the same place as your other context and tools.
- You are building an agent or workflow that should pull auditable financial data.
Using both together
You do not have to choose. Runs live in your Kepler account, so a run you start through the connector shows up in the web app, and one you start in the app is reachable from the connector. Every result your assistant returns includes a link back to open the conversation or workbook in the app, so you can move between the two. Pick up an earlier run from either side and continue it with full context.Connect a client
