7 Use Cases for Charlie
Discover how Charlie can support you throughout your scientific activity, from literature search to article writing.
Emerit Science Team
Charlie is your AI scientific research agent. It can help you with your entire scientific workflow through 7 main use cases.
1. Answer One-Off Questions
Charlie can provide detailed answers to your scientific questions by accessing and synthesizing information from peer-reviewed journal articles while citing its sources. These sources can be viewed in the right panel of the interface.
Example questions:
- What are the latest advances in myocardial infarction?
- What is the role of autophagy in the resistance of tumor cells to chemotherapy treatments?
- What are the known mechanisms of protein X in cell signaling?
2. Analyze a PDF Document
If you have specific research articles or documents, Charlie can summarize the key results, methodologies and conclusions for you.
Upload your PDFs to the Workspace and ask your questions directly about your document content.
Example questions:
- What are the conclusions of this article?
- Can you summarize the experimental method?
- What are the main results reported?
- Can you explain the "Discussion" section in simple terms?
3. Browse and Analyze the Literature
Charlie can help you gather and review the literature on a specific topic, highlighting the most relevant studies and their contributions to the field.
Use the year filters to narrow your search and explore the literature progressively by refining your questions as you go.
Example questions:
- What are the latest advances regarding protein kinase B (AKT)?
- What strategies are used to deliver siRNA into tumor cells?
- Are there any approaches using nanoparticles?
4. Explore Your Hypotheses
Charlie can help you build your scientific hypotheses by testing them against the existing literature. It's a true thinking partner for testing and refining your ideas.
Example dialogue:
"What do you think about a relationship between free radicals and B lymphocyte activation that could explain proliferation, differentiation and antibody production?"
Charlie will then search the literature for relevant studies and propose a critical analysis of your hypothesis based on current knowledge.
5. Design Experimental Protocols
Drawing on the literature, Charlie can help you design experimental protocols to test your research hypothesis.
Example request:
"I want to set up an experiment to track the intracellular translocation of a membrane protein..."
Charlie will help you:
- Define the main objective of the protocol
- Identify key steps and examples from the literature
- Suggest suitable methodological approaches
- Recommend appropriate markers and techniques
6. Help Interpret Your Data
If you have data from experiments or studies, Charlie can help you interpret the results and provide insights based on existing scientific knowledge.
Example scenario:
"My latest experiment revealed that stimulation of human B cells by TLR9/RP105 was linked..."
Charlie will help you contextualize your results by comparing them with the existing literature and suggesting mechanistic interpretation pathways.
7. Help You Write Scientific Articles
Charlie can help you prepare manuscripts for publication, responding in the format you need. Whether it's structuring an introduction, writing an abstract or rephrasing a section, Charlie adapts to your needs.
Example requests:
- Can you summarize this in a 200-word paragraph?
- Help me structure my introduction on AKT inhibitors
- Rephrase this section in more accessible terms
- Suggest an organization for my "Discussion" section
