01 Start a new conversation
A good research question does not need to be complicated. Open Brainier, choose New conversation, and ask in your own words. Here, we ask what free cash flow means and why it matters when researching a company.
02 Understand the explanation
Brainier explains the concept in plain language. Free cash flow is the cash remaining after operating cash flow covers capital spending. It can help a company fund reinvestment, repay debt, or support dividends. It is one part of the financial picture, not a complete conclusion.
03 Ask a focused follow-up
Keep the same conversation and make your next question more precise. We ask how free cash flow differs from net income, and request three short bullet points. You can ask for simpler wording, a definition, or a clearer explanation of an unfamiliar ratio.
04 Read at your own pace
Open Read fullscreen to give the answer more space. Here, Brainier separates accounting profit, non cash expenses, and cash availability. Read at your own pace, then return to the conversation. For a specific company, move to its report so that the next discussion includes that context.
