Your first chat

1. Start a new chat#

Press New in the sidebar (clicking the logo does the same). The composer at the bottom accepts a plain question, a slash command, or a file.

Type / to see the workflow commands. For a literature review, choose /research and finish the sentence:

/research Does heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback reduce perceived stress in adults? Focus on randomized controlled trials and report effect sizes.

You don't have to use a command — "Search the literature on X and summarize the evidence" runs the same skill. Commands just make the intent explicit.

2. Answer the clarifying survey (optional)#

Most research skills first ask two or three short questions: which databases, what date range, what to emphasize. Answer the ones that matter, or press Skip the rest — search now to run with the defaults. The survey never blocks you for long.

3. Watch the turn run#

The progress card shows what the agent is doing — searches, screening, code — and which step it is on. A typical literature turn takes three to six minutes at the default Basic effort. You can keep typing in other chats meanwhile; the turn keeps running on the server, and you'll be able to come back to it.

To stop a turn, press Stop on the composer. Partial results are kept.

4. Open the artifacts#

When the turn ends, the answer summarizes the findings and lists the artifacts it created. Click any of them to open the artifact panel on the right — the report renders with numbered citations, tables sort, figures zoom.

5. Continue in the same session#

Each following turn sees everything above it. Try:

• /hypothesis — map the research space and rank testable hypotheses from this literature.
• "Design a two-arm randomized experiment to test this" — a design report with protocol flow and power analysis.
• Upload a dataset and /analyze it.

Next: Upload data & reference it.
