Overview
The AI Assistant is an intelligent helper that understands what you’re working on and adapts its suggestions accordingly. Rather than offering generic help, it provides relevant guidance based on your current mode, the model you’re viewing, and your recent actions.
Context-Aware Behavior
The assistant automatically adjusts based on where you are in the platform:
Mode Assistant Focus Design Suggests structural improvements, equation syntax help, parameter naming conventions Experiment Proposes scenarios to test, explains variable relationships, interprets results Calibrate Helps fit parameters to data, suggests calibration strategies Presentation Offers quick quizzes, summarizes model insights, explains concepts Decide Compares scenario trade-offs, highlights key differences Activity Provides hints about the objective, suggests strategies
Quick Actions
Each mode surfaces relevant quick-action prompts:
Presentation Mode
“Summarize this model”
“Take a quick quiz”
“Explain this concept”
Experiment Mode
“What happens if I increase X?”
“Compare these scenarios”
“Why is this variable changing?”
