Maven Assistant is built to handle a wide range of straightforward analytical tasks. The interface makes it easy to quickly initiate custom analyses.
You can direct the Assistant's research process using two approaches
Attaching Files and Work Items: This allows you to provide substantial context, helping the Assistant more effectively support your analysis
Tagging Items from Maven Bio's Database: This helps direct the Assistant’s research by indicating which items it should focus on.
Attaching Files and Work Items
To attach an item (e.g., a previously created “Active Phase 2 Drugs for Alzheimer's Disease” or a target like “Cholinesterase”), begin by clicking the attach pin and typing the name of the table, list, or item into the search bar within the pop-up window. Matching entries will appear in a dropdown, allowing users to select the desired item and click Confirm to insert it into their analysis.
Users may also upload supporting files (each ≤ 2.5 MB) using the drop box as a part of their analysis. Supported file types include PDF, DOCX, PPTX, CSV, XLSX, TXT, and MD.
Tagging Items
Alternatively, users can tag items in-line in their messages by typing the '@'. This will trigger a dropdown which searches across both your past work and items from the Maven Bio database—such as drugs, trials, companies, indications, targets, or mechanisms. Once you've found the item you want to reference, select it from the list to embed it directly in your query.
You can upload up to five files, reference up to five items using @mentions from past work and/or Maven ontologies, or combine both methods for a total of five attachments
*The total combined limit for attachments is five.*
In summary, attaching files and items allows you to provide substantial context to the Assistant to allow it to more capability aid your analysis. Tagging items allows you to aid the Assistant's research by telling it which items it should focus its searches on.
