Feature overview

Deep Research supports multi-turn chats and file attachments. It includes citation and chip links where possible so you can verify sources quickly.

  • Ask a question or describe the report you need (e.g., weekly lab update, study summary, draft CoA/CoT).
  • Attach relevant files (templates, recent examples) to steer structure and tone.
  • Review the output, follow up in the same thread, and iterate until it’s ready to export or copy into your documents.

Attach files to guide the report

  • Include any or all of:
    • A template the report should follow
    • A recent example (for voice, level of detail, and formatting)
    • Any constraints (audience, due date, slide length, data cut)
       
  • Example: Prepare for Lab Meeting
    • Use or modify this example message
    • Attach your template and/or a recent example
Attached are: 1) the general template and 2) a recent example of my weekly lab reports. 
Review my Notebook entries from the last two weeks. 
Summarize the relevant data and outcomes of those entries following this format. 
Format the sections so that I can easily copy and paste them into powerpoint slides and format them. 
It will be particularly helpful if you can include citation links 
to entries with images or charts that I could include. 

Quality and Risk reminders

  • All AI-based systems may make mistakes. Treat outputs as a draft and verify before sharing or saving to a Notebook.
  • The system may produce false positives, which may be misleading. Deep Research will include citation links and chip links where possible to facilitate double-checking its responses.
  • Think of Deep Research as a capable new teammate who just started working at your company. Use its speed to reduce searching and formatting work so you can focus on analysis and polish.

Additional Example Report Types

See the attached .docx files at the bottom of this page for generalized templates to help you locate and format data to support reports like:

  • Certificate of Analysis (CoA) or Certificate of Testing (CoT)
  • Technology Transfer Report
  • Non-clinical Study Report or a General Research Study Report

 

Example General Research Study Report Workflow: 

  1. Attach the File: General Study Report Template.docx file
  2. Prompt

    Use the attached template to generate a report about 
    the study in the "EBV Study" folder.
