Using the Chat
The Explore page is the primary interface. It combines a knowledge graph, a hypothesis panel, and a chat — all in one view.
The layout
- Knowledge graph — the main canvas. Every data source, entity, and hypothesis is a node. Correlations and connections are edges. The graph grows as you research.
- Hypothesis panel (right side) — all your research questions with status. Click one to filter the graph to its connected data.
- Chat (bottom) — your research assistant. Ask questions, create hypotheses, request deliveries, analyze data.
How to use the chat
Type any question or command:
| What you say | What happens |
|---|---|
| "Research whether oil prices predict inflation" | Creates a hypothesis, agents start discovering data and running analysis |
| "What data do you have about energy?" | Searches the 104+ source catalog |
| "Deliver this report to [email protected]" | Emails the report for the selected hypothesis |
| "Why are these two nodes connected?" | Explains the statistical relationship using the graph data |
| "Connect my HubSpot" | Starts a custom integration — agents build the data pipeline |
Hypothesis panel
When you click a hypothesis in the right panel:
- The graph fades unrelated nodes and highlights connected data
- The chat gains context — it knows which hypothesis you're investigating
- The chat placeholder changes to "Ask about this hypothesis..."
- You can say "deliver this" or "what did you find?" without specifying which research
Click Show all to restore the full graph view.
Status indicators
| Dot color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blue (pulsing) | Agents are working — discovery, integration, analysis, or narration |
| Green | Hypothesis supported by data |
| Yellow | Inconclusive — some evidence but not definitive |
| Red | Hypothesis refuted by data |
Tips
- Shift+click nodes on the graph to multi-select and ask about relationships
- Search the graph using the search bar to find specific entities
- Click View Report on any completed hypothesis to see the full analysis
- The graph polls every 15 seconds — new nodes appear automatically as agents discover data
