Getting started
How BioStelo works
From natural-language intent to reproducible pipeline results in five steps.
Describe your task
Open a Thread and describe what you want to analyze in plain English, for example "QC triage for PBMC replicate set" or "differential expression for treated vs control".
BioStelo generates analysis settings
The Agent turns your intent into structured analysis settings: inputs, workflow, parameters, and expected outputs, all reviewable before anything runs.
Review and approve
You inspect the analysis settings, adjust parameters if needed, then confirm and run. Nothing executes until you confirm.
Run the analysis
BioStelo submits the confirmed analysis settings to the Pipeline Engine. Results, logs, and provenance artifacts are collected and linked back to your Thread.
Iterate and promote
Review results inline. Adjust later analysis settings, ask follow-up questions, or promote confirmed findings into research memory for future Threads.
Pro tip: use Thread instructions
Open a Thread and add a # SESSION block to pin goals, guardrails, and context. The agent reads these instructions before every turn, so you never need to repeat yourself.
