Your first project

Once signed in, create a project from the left sidebar:

1. Click + New Project in the sidebar.
2. Type your research question in the chat input — the more specific, the better.
3. Either press Enter (Auto mode will decide the best strategy) or click the Deep Research button to force a full report.
4. Watch the Activity Stream as the AI plans queries, reads sources, and writes.
5. When it finishes, your report appears in the Book Pane on the left and an auto-generated diagram appears on the Canvas Pane on the right.

Interface overview

The workspace is split into three zones:

• Sidebar — projects, recent pages, Notebook, and Settings.
• Book Pane (left) — your research report, displayed as numbered chapters with inline citations.
• Canvas Pane (right) — the auto-generated knowledge diagram plus the chat box for follow-ups.

Above both panes is the toolbar: panel toggles, Refresh Diagram, Edit, Pages Overview, and Export as.

Panel switching

You can hide or show either pane at any time:

• Book only — collapse the canvas for distraction-free reading; the report expands to a comfortable two-column layout.
• Canvas only — collapse the book to focus on the diagram and chat.
• Split view — the default: both panes side by side, resizable via the divider in the middle.

Panel state is remembered per project, so you can use different layouts for different research topics.

What is Deep Research

Deep Research is a specialised workflow that spends 10–15 minutes to plan, search, read, and write a full report with verified citations. Unlike a single-shot chat reply, it actively:

1. Plans search queries — decomposes your question into targeted web searches.
2. Fetches 20–50 sources — reading, ranking, and filtering for authority and freshness.
3. Cross-references — checks data consistency across sources and flags conflicts.
4. Writes the report — organised into numbered chapters with inline citations.
5. Generates a diagram — auto-creates a visual knowledge map on the Canvas.

How to trigger it

There are two ways to start a Deep Research run:

• Click the Deep Research button next to the chat send button. This forces the full research workflow regardless of question length.
• Use Auto mode (the default). Auto inspects your question and routes complex research requests to Deep Research automatically; simple questions stay in Fast chat.

Activity Stream

While the AI works, the Activity Stream shows live progress as a timeline:

• Planning — the query plan with every sub-question the AI will investigate.
• Searching — each web search fires with the exact query shown.
• Reading — source titles appear as they are fetched and evaluated.
• Writing — the report draft streams in chapter by chapter.

You can click any activity row to jump to the related source. The stream stays available after the run finishes — use it as an audit trail to verify where each claim came from.

Report structure

Reports arrive as a structured document in the Book Pane:

• Numbered chapters — clearly demarcated sections with a consistent heading style.
• Serif typography — long-form reading comfort, with key findings in bold.
• Inline citation tags — small coloured badges such as Source Name at the end of every factual claim.
• Two-column view — when the canvas is hidden, the report expands to two columns for magazine-style reading.

Citations & verification

Every factual claim is backed by an inline citation that you can click to verify:

• Click any citation badge to open the original source in a new tab.
• Hover to see the title, URL, and the exact snippet that was extracted.
• If the AI cannot find sufficient evidence, it explicitly states the limitation rather than fabricating an answer.

Change the mode using the dropdown next to the send button. You can set a default in Settings → Default chat mode.

Auto

The smart default. Auto reads your question and routes it: short factual prompts stay in Fast chat, multi-step reasoning goes to Thinking, and "research me everything about X" requests become Deep Research automatically. Use Auto when you don’t want to think about modes.

Fast

A direct chat reply with no web search. Answers come back in seconds. Best for brainstorming, simple clarifications, and quick follow-ups on content you’ve already researched.

Thinking

For complex questions that benefit from slower reasoning. Thinking mode displays the AI’s step-by-step reasoning trace as it works through the problem — you can follow the logic, spot mistakes, and trust the final answer more.

Deep Research

The full research workflow described in Chapter 2. Triggers a 10–15 minute run that produces a structured report with citations and a canvas diagram.

Attachments & links

You can enrich any chat message with attachments:

• PDFs — drop a PDF into the chat input; the AI reads it alongside your question.
• Images — upload diagrams, screenshots, or photos for visual analysis.
• Links — paste any URL and Innogath auto-detects it, fetches the page title, and shows a preview chip. Works with articles, YouTube videos, and GitHub repos.

Limits: up to 5 files per message, 10 MB each. Link previews are unlimited.

Reply with quote

One of Innogath’s most powerful features. Select any text inside an existing report, then click Reply in the floating toolbar:

1. The selected text becomes a visible quote in the new chat context.
2. A new branch is created under the source section (see Chapter 5).
3. The parent report’s research memory is inherited — the AI won’t re-verify facts it has already established.

This is how you drill down from a high-level finding into a specific sub-topic without losing context.

Auto-generated canvas

The moment a Deep Research run finishes, Innogath picks the best diagram type for your topic and renders it on the Canvas Pane. The diagram:

• Reflects the structure and relationships described in your report.
• Uses colour-coded nodes for different sections (blue for concepts, green for actions, amber for warnings).
• Supports smooth zooming, panning, and fit-to-view.

Refresh diagram

Click the Refresh button (the circular arrow icon in the toolbar) to regenerate the diagram from scratch. Use this when:

• The current diagram doesn’t match your mental model.
• You’ve added new information to the report and want the canvas updated.
• You want to try a different layout for the same content.

Edit mode

Click the Edit button (pencil icon) to enter edit mode. You get an Excalidraw-style editor with:

• Shape tools: rectangle, diamond, ellipse, line, arrow, freehand draw.
• Text labels with custom fonts, sizes, and colours.
• Move, resize, rotate, and delete any element.
• Stroke styles: solid, dashed, dotted. Fill patterns: solid, hatched, cross-hatched.
• Group, align, and distribute multiple elements.

Click the Edit button again (or press Escape) to exit edit mode. Changes save automatically.

Click a node to chat

In view mode (not editing), click any node in the diagram to open a focused chat context for that topic. From there you can:

• Ask follow-up questions in Fast or Thinking mode.
• Trigger a new Deep Research run — the result becomes a new page branching off the current one.
• Select text from the node’s content and send it to the Notebook.

22 chart types

Innogath picks from a library of 22 visual formats based on your topic. The canvas renderer auto-selects the best match, but you can force a type via the chat (e.g., "re-render this as a mindmap"):

Export canvas as PNG

In the canvas toolbar, click Export → PNG to download the current diagram as a high-resolution image. The export respects your current zoom level and theme, and includes:

• The full diagram at 2× pixel density (retina-quality).
• A transparent or white background (your choice).
• Optional Innogath watermark in the bottom-right corner.

What is a branch

A branch is a child page that spawns from any point in an existing report. It has its own chat, report, and canvas, but inherits its parent’s research memory. Branching is how Innogath stays organised as your exploration grows.

Each branch node in the Pages Overview tree corresponds to one Page. A project can have an arbitrary depth of branches: great-grandparent → grandparent → parent → current.

Branch from a report selection

The most common way to branch:

1. Select any text in the Book Pane — a paragraph, a citation, a single sentence.
2. Click Reply in the floating toolbar that appears.
3. Ask a follow-up question, or trigger Deep Research for a full sub-report.
4. A new child page is created under the source section, with the quoted text as context.

Branch from a canvas node

You can also branch directly from the visual canvas:

1. Click any node in the diagram to open a focused chat context.
2. Ask a question or click Deep Research.
3. If you run Deep Research, the result becomes a new child page linked to that node.

This is particularly useful when you’re visually exploring a topic — you can see what deserves deeper investigation and drill in with one click.

Pages Overview tree

Click the Pages Overview button in the toolbar to see the entire project as a tree:

• Each node is a Page (a report + its canvas).
• Lines show parent → child relationships.
• Node labels show the page title and a small preview.
• Click any node to jump directly to that page.
• Breadcrumbs at the top of every page show the full path: Root → Main Report → Sub-topic A → Detail B.

Parent memory

When you branch, the child page inherits a summary of every ancestor’s research. This means:

• The AI knows what you’ve already covered and won’t repeat information.
• Follow-up questions get answers in context, not from scratch.
• The memory chain traverses multiple levels — grandparent insights feed into great-grandchild reasoning.
• Citations from parent reports are visible in child chats so you can reference established facts.

Opening the notebook

Click the Notebook button in the left sidebar (the notebook icon). The Notebook opens as a full-height panel that overlays the Canvas Pane, keeping the Book Pane visible so you can read and write side by side. Click the button again to close.

Rich text editing

The Notebook supports full rich-text formatting:

• Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, and inline code.
• Three levels of headings (H1, H2, H3).
• Bullet lists, numbered lists, and task lists with checkboxes.
• Block quotes, code blocks (with syntax highlighting), and horizontal dividers.
• Inline links, embedded images, and embedded videos (YouTube, Vimeo).

You can use the floating toolbar on text selection or the standard Cmd/Ctrl+B, Cmd/Ctrl+I keyboard shortcuts.

Slash commands

Type / anywhere in the Notebook to bring up a quick-insert menu:

Send to Note

Select any text in a report, then click → Send to Note in the floating toolbar. The selected text is appended to the current project’s Notebook with:

• A source reference showing which page and section it came from.
• Automatic blockquote formatting so it reads as a quoted passage.
• A clickable backlink so you can jump back to the original location.

Autosave

The Notebook saves automatically as you type — there is no manual save button. A small indicator in the bottom-right corner confirms the latest save. If you lose connection, your local edits are preserved and sync as soon as you reconnect.

Export formats

Click Export as in the toolbar to download your report:

The canvas can be exported separately as a PNG image (see Chapter 4).

Theme

Open Settings → Appearance and pick one:

• Light — warm, paper-like background for daytime reading.
• Dark — low-glare dark mode for late-night sessions.
• System — auto-matches your operating system preference.

You can also toggle theme from the sun/moon icon in the top-right corner of any page.

Language

Innogath’s interface is available in nine languages. Open Settings → Language to switch. Supported:

The language setting affects UI labels and menus. Research outputs are generated in whichever language you write your prompt in.

Default chat mode

Choose which chat mode is selected by default when you open a new project:

• Auto — the safe default; routes automatically.
• Fast — best if you mostly do quick brainstorming.
• Thinking — best for analysts who prefer visible reasoning.
• Deep Research — best if nearly every session is a full report.

Font size

Three reading sizes for the Book Pane: Small, Medium (default), and Large. Independent of your browser zoom, so you can keep the sidebar compact while enlarging only the report text.

Account management

Open Settings → Account to manage your profile:

• Change email — sends a confirmation link to the new address.
• Change password — requires your current password for security.
• Enable two-factor auth — TOTP (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Authy).
