Organizing and Analyzing Research

The Research Canvas in Symbolic is designed to streamline the way you gather, analyze, and organize information. Here’s how to make the most out of this feature:

1. Upload and Collect Research

Start by uploading your documents, links, or other research materials directly onto the Research Canvas. You can also paste links or files that are relevant to your project. This workspace allows you to see all your research materials in one place, making it easier to manage and analyze them.

2. Use Quick AI Actions

Once your research materials are on the canvas, you can use Quick AI Actions to interact with the content. These actions include summarizing articles, extracting key data points, and generating timelines or author details. Simply select the content you want to analyze, choose the appropriate AI action, and let the system process it for you.

3. Summarize Key Information

If you’re dealing with long or complex documents, use the AI to generate summaries. This feature condenses the content into the most important points, allowing you to quickly grasp the essentials without having to read through everything.

4. Handle Copyrighted Content

When working with copyrighted materials, Symbolic ensures compliance by only processing public information like URLs and brief descriptions. This allows you to integrate and reference protected content without infringing on copyright laws.

5. Collaborate and Comment

The Research Canvas also supports collaboration. You can comment on specific items, discuss findings with your team, and even chat directly within the project. Each research asset on the canvas can serve as a thread for conversation, making team collaboration seamless and integrated.

6. Organize and Filter

You can organize your research by creating different tabs for various focuses within a project. The AI recognizes these as separate areas of interest and will adjust its suggestions and actions accordingly. This makes it easier to manage complex projects with multiple research streams.

By using the Research Canvas and Quick AI Actions, you can handle large volumes of information more efficiently, ensuring that you extract and utilize the most relevant data for your projects.
