Live Data refers to real-time market information fetched from external APIs via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This allows the Knowledge Assistant to provide current prices, index values, and benchmark data alongside information from the document knowledge base.

Index values, historical performance, and constituent breakdowns for Bitwise's proprietary crypto indexes. Includes backtested data where available.
Traditional finance benchmarks for comparison purposes, including equity indexes, bonds, commodities, and real estate.

User: “What about three months later?”
[System resolves to 2024-12-30 based on conversation context]
The system includes circuit breaker protection to handle API failures gracefully. If the live data API is unavailable or experiencing issues, the system will:
