Research Studio

Research Studio is a three-column workbench that lets you curate research materials, converse with AI, and preview generated artifacts—all in one interface. It works on local WebUI, Tauri desktop, and SaaS cloud.

​
Layout

ColumnPurpose
Left — Resource PoolCurate sources from the Wiki knowledge base and uploaded files.
Center — ChatTalk to any configured agent with selected resources automatically injected as context.
Right — OutputPreview generated artifacts (documents, presentations, reports) with download and save-to-wiki options.
On mobile devices (viewport ≤ 768 px), the three columns collapse into tab navigation for comfortable use on phones and tablets.

​
Open Research Studio

Navigate to /research from the sidebar or browser URL bar. The page loads with the Resource Pool on the left, Chat in the center, and Output on the right.

​
Add research materials

​
From Wiki

  1. Click From Wiki in the resource pool header.
  2. Search for knowledge base concepts by keyword.
  3. Click a concept to add it to the pool. Duplicates are prevented automatically.

​
Upload files

  1. Click Upload in the resource pool header.
  2. Select one or more files (PDF, DOCX, TXT, MD, CSV, XLSX, PPTX).
  3. Uploaded files appear in the resource pool as selectable items.

​
Select and deselect

Each resource has a checkbox. Selected resources are automatically injected into the AI chat context as @wiki_concept or @wiki_raw_file mention references.
  • Select All / Deselect All — toggle all resources at once.
  • Individual toggle — click a resource row to toggle its selection.
Only wiki-type references are managed by the sync. Any other mention references you add manually in the chat input (like @file.pdf) are preserved.

​
Chat with context

The center column is a full chat interface. When you select resources in the pool, their content is injected into the next message you send. The agent can reference and reason over all selected materials. Use the built-in builtin-researcher agent or any custom agent for specialized research tasks.

​
View and export artifacts

When the agent generates artifacts (reports, slide decks, documents), they appear in the right column:
  • Preview — rendered content with syntax highlighting and formatting.
  • Download — save the artifact to your local device.
  • Save to Wiki — persist the artifact directly into the knowledge base for future reference.
