Example conversation showing how Exploration Agent guides you from broad interest to concrete research question

I'm interested in studying diabetes, but I'm not sure what specific angle to take. There's so much research already out there.

I'm a primary care physician interested in prevention. I work in a community health center serving mostly Hispanic patients. I'm hoping to complete this research in 18 months for a master's thesis.

The technology-enhanced prevention sounds perfect! We actually just implemented a patient portal. Can you help me refine this into a specific research question?

Yes please! This is exactly what I needed. What should I work on first?
