Create your first notebook

A notebook is created automatically as soon as you run an analysis. Here’s what each part of the screen helps you do:
  • Click Overview
    This brings you to the home screen where all new analyses begin.
  • Enter your prompt
    Type your question or analysis request in plain English. This becomes the starting point of your notebook.
  • Upload your files
    Use the ”+” icon to upload CSV, Excel, PDF files or import from Google Drive. aidnn will use these as inputs for your analysis.
  • Assisted prompt view
    Click the structure icon to switch to the Assisted Prompt mode if you want guidance on organizing your request.
  • Enable Auto-Execution
    Turn on the ⚡ icon if you want aidnn to automatically run analyses without requiring manual plan approval.
  • Prompt Strength Indicator
    aidnn shows how strong or clear your prompt is, helping you improve it if needed.\
  • Start execution
    Click the blue arrow button to run your analysis.
    Once clicked, aidnn begins processing your request, moves to the Analysis Page, and your first notebook is created.
This is the starting point of your workflow — every analysis you execute becomes a saved notebook that you can return to, modify, or build on later Understanding the Analysis View Once your analysis starts, aidnn takes you into the Analysis View.
This page shows the full lifecycle of your analysis, broken into clear steps on the left and your results on the right. Every step is clickable just like shown in the image so you can jump to any phase at any time.\ aidnn goes through four key phases:

​
1. Thought Process

aidnn begins by interpreting your request.
In this phase, it thinks through:
  • What you are asking for
  • Which datasets are required
  • What columns or fields need attention
  • How to group, filter, and calculate the metrics
This gives you transparency into how your prompt is being understood before anything is executed. Clicking “Thought Process” on the left (as shown in the image) will take you directly to that view.

​
2. Plan Creation

Next, aidnn generates a step-by-step plan to perform your analysis.
A typical plan includes actions such as:
  • Loading the relevant dataset
  • Cleaning date, numeric, or text fields
  • Grouping or aggregating values
  • Running calculations
  • Preparing charts or tables
At this stage, you can take action:
  • Approve the plan if it looks correct
  • Directly edit the plan on the plan space
  • Or click Feedback to request changes
If the plan is edited or if feedback is given aidnn will create a re-plan,only upon approval (or automatically executed if Auto-Execution is on), aidnn proceeds to the next phase. Clicking “Plan” on the left panel will bring you back to this step at any time.

​
3. Execution

In the Execution phase, aidnn performs all tasks defined in the plan.
You’ll see:
  • Data cleaning
  • Intermediate previews
  • Calculations happening in sequence
  • Progress indicators for each step
This helps you understand how aidnn is transforming your data behind the scenes. The image’s left panel shows a green “Completed” indicator when this step finishes.

​
4. Results View

Once execution is complete, aidnn presents your output in the Results View.
Here you will find:
  • Summary statistics — rows, columns, missing values, date ranges
  • Data preview — a snapshot of the dataset used
  • Insights — key observations extracted from your data
  • Visualizations — charts like bar charts, line charts, histograms, etc.
This is the panel shown on the right side of the image (Customer Count Distribution, etc.). Every analysis you run — including your prompt, thought process, plan, execution, and results — is automatically saved as a notebook so you can revisit it anytime. Clicking “Results” in the left panel will always bring you back to this view.
Clicking on any step on the left (Thought Process, Plan, Execution, Results) instantly takes you to that corresponding screen. This makes it easy to review the entire workflow and understand how Aidnn arrived at the final results.

​
Working with Your Notebook

This section outlines additional features of Notebooks that help you make best use of Notebooks. For an overview of how to use notebooks for analysis, visit the Getting Started section. Once you have executed an analysis to completion , you’ll see several tools on the Results page that help you take full advantage of the features of aidnn’s notebooks.

​
Add Tag

Tags help you group notebooks together inside Workspaces later on.
  • TBD: Add the link to the workspaces section
To add a tag, click on “Add Tag”. You can either use an existing tag or create your own by typing the tag and pressing enter.

​
Branching

While you can always ask a follow up question/analysis from the results page of the last analysis in your notebook, sometimes you may want to kickoff an analysis from an analysis quad which is not the last one in your notebook. Alternatively, sometimes you want to do your own analysis in a new notebook without messing up with the original analysis in some one else’ notebook. Branching helps you achieve this. In order to branch off a given analysis quad, do the following:
  • First click on the analysis quad on the left panel from which you wish to branch off.
  • Then click on the branching icon on the right top corner.
  • This will open a new prompt window modal where you can submit your prompt and upload your files as shown:
  • Once you submit it, a new notebook is launched that retains all the analysis quads up to the one which you branched off from and adds your latest analysis quad. This way you are kicking off your own notebook and analysis from the source branching analysis quad. The original notebook and analysis quads remain unaffected.

​
Explain/Ask aidnn

This feature helps anyone else looking at your analysis understand it better by asking aidnn to explain any part of your analysis. A user can highlight any text in any section of an analysis. Doing so bring up this menu for Explain/Ask aidnn. Clicking on Explain will launch a side window and show an explanation of the highlighted text as shown below: If you click on Ask aidnn, then you can ask your specific question as shown below: In this case, aidnn will answer your specific question instead of just explaining the highlighted text. Use Explain/Ask aidnn to understand:
  • How a number was calculated
  • Why a spike or dip occurred
  • Which factors contributed to a result
This is useful for sharing with stakeholders and also to understand your own analysis when you revert back to it after a long time.

​
Sharing Your Notebook

You can share your analysis with others who can view, review or even further continue your analysis. aidnn makes collaboration seamless and as effective as Google docs. To share your notebook, just click on the share button on the top right as shown below:\ You can then choose to share it with a set of individuals who must be in the same account as you in aidnn. Alternatively, by toggling the “public” button on you can share it publicly wherein everyone will have access to your notebook.
