AI Chat

The AI Chat panel lets you have a conversation about your lab results with an AI that already knows everything about your data — your biomarker history, lifestyle context, supplements, notes, and health goals.

Opening the Chat

Click the Ask AI button in the top-right corner of the header to slide the chat panel open. Click it again or press Escape to close it.

What the AI Knows

Every message you send includes a full snapshot of your data:

• All lab values across every draw date, with reference ranges and trend direction
• Your nine Context Cards (diet, sleep, exercise, environment, etc.)
• Your Interpretive Lens and Health Goals
• Your supplements and their date ranges
• Your notes
• For female profiles: menstrual cycle data and phase context

You do not need to paste your results into the chat. Just ask your question.

Personalities

The AI adopts a personality that shapes its communication style. Choose from three:

Default

A clear, evidence-informed tone. Explains markers plainly, notes trends, and flags concerns without drama.

House

Takes on the style of a sharp, skeptical clinician who asks uncomfortable questions. Pushes back on assumptions and digs for root causes.

Custom

Create your own persona. Type a name in the custom personality field and click Generate — the AI will create a full personality profile for that persona, including communication style, analytical approach, and philosophical lens. You can edit the generated text before saving.

The Enforce evidence-based accuracy option (off by default) adds a strict disclaimer to the AI's instructions, keeping responses grounded in published research rather than speculation.

TIP

Custom personalities are saved per profile and persist across sessions. You can create a persona based on a specific medical philosophy, a fictional doctor character, or any style that makes conversations more useful for you.

Conversation Threads

The chat panel includes a thread rail on the left side — a list of your past conversations. Each thread is named automatically from your first message, and you can rename any thread by clicking its name.

• Start a new conversation at any time
• Switch between threads without losing history
• Up to 50 threads are stored per profile; the oldest are pruned automatically

On mobile, tap the hamburger icon in the chat header to open the thread list, and use the back button to return to the conversation.

Per-Marker AI Explanations

From any marker's detail view (click a marker name in the sidebar or on the dashboard), you will find an Ask AI button. This opens a pre-populated chat asking the AI to explain that specific marker in the context of your results — without you having to type anything.

Markdown Responses

The AI's responses are rendered with full markdown formatting:

• Headings, bold, and italic text
• Bullet and numbered lists
• Code blocks and inline code
• Clickable links

Responses stream in word by word as the AI generates them.

Choosing a Provider

The AI chat works with any of the four supported providers: Anthropic, OpenRouter, Venice, or Ollama. See AI Providers to configure your key or local server. The chat is not available until a provider is set up.

WARNING

Conversations are stored locally in your browser and encrypted if you have set a passphrase. The last 10 messages from each conversation are sent to the AI provider with every request to maintain context. Your provider's privacy policy applies to that data.
