Chat With Your Report

Every report includes a chat feature that lets you ask follow-up questions and explore the research in more depth.

Accessing Chat

After your report is complete, you'll see a Chat interface below or alongside the report content. Click to open and start asking questions.

What You Can Ask

Clarification Questions

• "Can you explain the phase-change material approach in simpler terms?"
• "What do you mean by 'active vibration damping'?"
• "What's the difference between the first two concepts you presented?"

Detail Questions

• "What temperature range would the PCM approach work in?"
• "What materials are typically used for this application?"
• "What's the estimated cost range for implementing concept 3?"

Implementation Questions

• "How would I prototype the linkage redesign?"
• "What testing should I do first?"
• "Who manufactures components for this approach?"

"What If" Questions

• "What if my weight budget was 50% higher?"
• "Would this approach still work at higher temperatures?"
• "What if I could use active cooling?"

Comparison Questions

• "How does concept 2 compare to concept 4 in terms of cost?"
• "Which approach is easiest to implement?"
• "What are the tradeoffs between the top two recommendations?"

Chat Limits

To ensure quality responses for everyone:

• 30 messages per hour — For sustained research sessions
• 150 messages per day — Total daily limit

If you hit a limit, wait for the indicated time and continue.

Getting Good Answers

Be Specific

Instead of: "Tell me more about the first concept"

Try: "For the vapor chamber concept, what would be the minimum surface area needed to dissipate 50W with ambient temps up to 45°C?"

Reference the Report

Chat has full context of your report, so you can reference specific sections:

• "In the IP landscape section, you mentioned XYZ Corp — what exactly did they patent?"
• "The risk assessment mentioned thermal cycling — how many cycles should I design for?"

Build on Previous Answers

Chat remembers your conversation, so you can build on earlier questions:

• "Following up on that — what if I used aluminum instead?"
• "You mentioned three suppliers — which one has the shortest lead time?"

Tips for Research Sessions

Start Broad, Then Narrow

Begin with high-level questions about the concepts, then drill into specifics for the ones that interest you most.

Explore Alternatives

Ask about approaches not in the report:

• "Are there any other cross-industry approaches we didn't cover?"
• "What about using approach X — would that work here?"

Get Actionable Next Steps

Turn insights into actions:

• "What's the first experiment I should run to validate this concept?"
• "Can you suggest a week-by-week plan to explore the top recommendation?"
