AI RESEARCH PROTOTYPE

Mars RAG Prototype

The updated source app now splits the workflow into dedicated Data, Chat, and Configuration pages. This static prototype mirrors that change and adds the new PDF ingest, live job progress, paper analytics, activity logging, and runtime controls.

Route /airesearch/marsragprototype

This page remains intentionally static. The goal is to keep pace with the product's information architecture and controls without shipping the live service itself.

3 Dedicated workflow pages: Data for ingest, Chat for exploration, and Configuration for retrieval/runtime controls.

4 Ingest entry points now visible in the prototype: documents, paper links, PDF paths, and uploaded PDFs.

2 Paper analytics ranges reflected here as Day and Week views for quick monitoring.

UPDATED PROTOTYPE

The UI is no longer one crowded console. It now moves between Data, Chat, and Configuration as separate working surfaces.

Data

Read And Index Sources

Bring in documents, paper links, PDFs, and image manifests. Watch ingest progress, inspect index stats, and keep data-related work together instead of mixing it into the chat view.

Chat

Grounded Exploration

The chat view is now focused on exploration only. It shows mixed document and image evidence, keeps quick prompts close by, and leaves ingest work behind on the Data page.

Mineralogy Biosignatures Ancient Water

Grounded Chat

Ask the Archive

Run Search Only

System

Ask a question and the console will retrieve supporting document and image evidence before answering.

You

Which instruments support mineralogy analysis, and what nearby image evidence helps contextualize the answer?

Assistant

CRISM and Mastcam-Z are the most relevant mineralogy-facing instruments in this sample workspace. The updated chat flow now keeps text chunks and matching image evidence together so the answer can reference hydrated terrain while citing the supporting archive entries.

INDEXED MARS ASSETS

The sample image set is still relevant, but now it sits inside a wider ingest and monitoring workflow.

Jezero Delta

Used here as both an indexed image asset and an example of how visual evidence now travels through the chat workflow.

Gale Dunes

Still useful as a caption-search sample, now anchored inside the dedicated Data and Chat surfaces instead of a single page.

Hydrated mineral signatures sample image

Hydrated Signatures

A strong example of the new mixed-results flow, where image evidence can sit beside document chunks in grounded exploration.

THOUGHT BOARD

What people want to see before a deeper review.

This board keeps layout, workflow, and review feedback in one place. New notes from the request form appear here so the page feels closer to a live product review loop.

Sample Thought Layout + Messaging

The three-surface split already feels clearer. In a live review, I would want to see one question move from document selection into grounded chat, then watch configuration changes visibly reshape the evidence mix without breaking the flow.
