What Are Projects?
Projects are folders for your Brain conversations. They let you group related chats together and — critically — set a goal and background context that the Brain uses to give more relevant answers for that project. For example, you might have projects for:- “Q2 Sales Strategy” with context about your targets and key accounts
- “Assay Development - RSV” with context about the target organism and design constraints
- “Board Meeting Prep” with context about what the board cares about
Alex’s screenshot note: Take a screenshot of the sidebar showing the Projects section with 2-3 projects, one expanded showing chat sessions inside it.
Creating a Project
- Hover over the Projects header in the sidebar
- Click the + button that appears

- Double-click the name to rename it immediately
Renaming a Project
- Double-click the project name in the sidebar to enter edit mode
- Type the new name and press Enter
- Press Escape to cancel
Setting Project Goal & Context
This is the most powerful feature of projects. The goal and context you set are injected into every Brain conversation within that project.Set the project goal
In the Project Goal field, describe what this project is trying to achieve. Be specific.Example: “Develop a multiplex RT-PCR panel for simultaneous detection of RSV-A, RSV-B, and SARS-CoV-2 with Cy5/FAM/HEX channels on Bio-Rad CFX96.”
Set background context
In the Background Context field, provide any relevant information the Brain should know when answering questions in this project.Example: “We’re targeting the N gene for RSV and the RdRp gene for SARS-CoV-2. Our current sensitivity threshold is 500 copies/mL. We need the panel ready for CLIA validation by Q3.”
Alex’s screenshot note: Take a screenshot of the Project Settings dialog showing the Goal and Background Context text areas filled in with example content.
Project Insights
Each project has a dedicated Insights page that aggregates knowledge from all conversations within it. To access Project Insights:- Hover over the project in the sidebar
- Click the info icon (ℹ️)
- Or navigate directly to
/projects/your-project-id
Insights Tabs
| Tab | What It Shows |

Stats Row
At the top of the Insights page, you’ll see counts for:- Conversations — Total chat sessions in this project
- Findings — Substantial AI-generated insights
- Sources — Unique web sources cited
- Papers — Academic papers referenced
Alex’s screenshot note: Take a screenshot of the Project Insights page showing the stats row at the top and the Findings tab with a few findings listed.
Moving Chats Between Projects
- Drag and drop a chat from Recents or another project onto the target project
- Or use the three-dot menu on a chat → Move to folder → select the project
- To remove a chat from a project, drag it to Recents or select No folder in the move dialog
Deleting a Project
- Hover over the project in the sidebar
- Click the trash icon
- The project folder is deleted
- All chats that were in the project are moved back to Recents (they are not deleted)
