InsightFlow AI: Multi-Perspective Research Assistant

InsightFlow AI is an advanced research assistant that analyzes topics from multiple perspectives, providing a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of complex subjects. It now features Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) for supported personas and a streamlined UI using Chainlit's chat settings.

Features

Multiple Perspective Analysis

Analytical: Logical examination with methodical connections and patterns
Scientific: Evidence-based reasoning grounded in empirical data
Philosophical: Holistic exploration of deeper meaning and implications
Factual: Straightforward presentation of verified information
Metaphorical: Creative explanations through vivid analogies
Futuristic: Forward-looking exploration of potential developments

Personality Perspectives

Sherlock Holmes: Deductive reasoning with detailed observation
Richard Feynman: First-principles physics with clear explanations
Hannah Fry: Math-meets-society storytelling with practical examples

Visualization Capabilities

Concept Maps: Automatically generated Mermaid diagrams showing relationships
Visual Notes: DALL-E generated hand-drawn style visualizations of key insights
Visual-Only Mode: Option to focus on visual representations for faster comprehension (via Settings)

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG)

Supported personas (e.g., Analytical, Philosophical, Metaphorical) can search dedicated knowledge bases for more informed answers.
Toggle RAG functionality via the Settings panel.

Export Options

Markdown Export: Save analyses as formatted markdown with embedded visualizations
PDF Export: Generate professionally formatted PDF documents

How to Use

Configure Settings (⚙️ icon):
- Select a Persona Team (e.g., Balanced Overview) or toggle individual personas.
- Adjust other settings like RAG, Direct Mode, Quick Mode, and visibility of perspectives/visualizations.
Ask Your Question: Type any research question or topic to analyze.
Review Insights: Explore the synthesized view and (if enabled) individual perspectives and visualizations.
Get Help: Type /help for a detailed guide on features and settings.
Export Results: Use /export_md or /export_pdf to save your analysis (Note: Full export functionality is under development).

Commands

Most settings are now conveniently managed via the Settings (⚙️) panel in the UI. Type /help for a comprehensive guide to all features and settings.
