How to use Ko in the NEM: a guide for market analysts, developers, and financial analysts
​Ko changes how users interact with Modo's market intelligence inside the Terminal. It answers questions using the same research, proprietary datasets, and market data that underpin Modo's analysis.
This article walks through three examples of how users can use Ko’s analysis with layered prompts. The examples cover market analysts, developers and financial analysts. In each case study, we show the prompt we gave Ko, charts built from the data Ko returned, and the insights Ko generated.

1. Market analysts: from constraint events to price formation
Market analysts can use Ko to investigate recent NEM activity. Ko combines live AEMO data with Modo's asset library and market datasets, linking regional price outcomes to the assets and constraints behind them.
In New South Wales, this is particularly useful for understanding how local constraints affect battery revenues. The prompts below use Ko to compare constraint losses across the fleet, examine Limondale's worst local pricing event, and assess the growing role of batteries in setting the energy price.
