Accessing the Assistant

  1. Look for the Assistant icon in your Labguru interface:

    • Located at the top-right of any Labguru screen

    • Appears as an AI icon

  2. Click the icon to open the Assistant panel

    • The panel will slide open from the right side

If the interaction is disabled, ask your account owner to enable it under the AI tab of the Labguru main settings menu.

Once enabled the Assistant is available to all account users for 10 free queries per day (+10 bonus for providing feedback)

Your First Interaction

Step 1: Start Simple

Begin with a straightforward question to test the Assistant:

  • "What experiments did I run last week?"

  • "Show me my inventory of antibodies"

  • "Help me calculate molarity for a 5M solution"

Step 2: Review the Response

  • The Assistant will process your request and provide an answer

  • Responses may include links to relevant Labguru items

  • You can ask follow-up questions for clarification

Step 3: Try Different Query Types

Explore the Assistant's capabilities:

  • Find items: "Where is the pUC19 plasmid stored?"

  • Get summaries: "Summarize this experiment" (you need to be on the experiment page)

  • Ask for help: "How do I design a primer?"

Quick Tips for Success

βœ… Be specific - Include relevant details like dates, sample names, or experiment types

βœ… Use natural language - Write as if you're asking a colleague

βœ… Start broad, then narrow - Begin with general questions before getting specific

βœ… Check important results - Always verify critical calculations or data

What's Next?

Once you're comfortable with basic queries, explore:

  • Complex experiment planning

  • Multi-step calculations

  • Cross-referencing multiple datasets

  • External database searches
