Overview
Chat with the agent to analyze your data and calculate impacts for your products.
The chat is your agent companion across the entire platform. Use it to create products and bill of materials, analyze environmental impacts, simulate mitigation strategies, and generate reports.
Starting a chat
You can start a chat in two ways:
- Standalone chat: Start a New chat from the sidebar for quick questions or ad-hoc analysis. No project context is attached.
- Project chat: Start from within a project to inherit the project's files and instructions. The agent automatically draws on this context for every response.
Key capabilities
Every chat gives you access to the following features:
Chat modes
Switch between Agent mode (task execution) and Ask mode (exploration).
Agent effort
Control the agent's reasoning depth to balance quality and speed.
File attachments
Attach files to a message for immediate, in-context analysis.
File references
@-mention project files to prioritize them for the agent's response.
Sources and citations
Trace the agent's answers back to their sources with inline citations.
Managing chats
Find, organize, and manage your conversations.
Examples of what you can do
Create a bill of materials: Describe your product to generate a structured bill of materials.
Create a bill of materials for my product based on [production method] in [country].Compare impacts: Benchmark your product's environmental footprint.
Compare the environmental impacts of my product against industry averages.Recommended mode: Agent
Scan risks: Identify regulatory or environmental risks across your materials.
What are the biggest regulatory risks for [material] sourced from [country]?Benchmark: Compare your results against alternatives.
Compare the biodiversity impact of my [product] against industry averagesRecommended mode: Ask
Business case: Estimate the cost-effectiveness of mitigation actions.
What would be the cost change and impact reduction if I switched from [current material] to [alternative material]?Screen alternatives: Find substitute materials that meet your requirements.
Find alternative materials to [material] with lower [impact metric] and similar costEvaluate trade-offs: See how biodiversity, emissions, and costs interact.
How would switching to [alternative material] affect biodiversity vs GHG emissions?Recommended mode: Agent
