Uncountable Assistant: New Data Analysis/QC/RCA Features
The Uncountable Assistant now has access to new tools to support data analysis, quality control, and root-cause analysis workflows.
- Sampling and inspection: You can now use the Assistant to pull a random or stratified sample of recipes from a project or recipe set. Stratification can use experiment tags, metadata, output values, created time, and more. This makes it easier to review representative slices of large datasets.
Example: “Can you sample the experiments in this project and explain why entrained air is higher than normal in a few of them?”
- Notebook creation + graphs: The Assistant can now create notebooks, add content, and generate graphs that illustrate relationships in your data. When a notebook is created, the Assistant will provide a link to it within the chat.
Example: “Produce a notebook report, conducting an RCA. Include graphs illustrating relationships over the whole dataset as evidence.”
These features were added because teams increasingly use the Assistant as part of day-to-day technical work, not just for quick questions. Sampling, inspection, and lightweight analysis are common steps in QC and RCA, and previously they required manual filtering, exporting, and repeated context switching.
With these tools, the Assistant can help teams move faster from “something looks off” to a concrete, reviewable set of evidence. It makes it easier to look at representative data, capture findings in a notebook, and share graphs and outputs with others.
Uncountable Assistantt: Structured Search Agent
We’ve added a new Structured Search agent to the Uncountable Assistant making it easier to discover relevant experiments without manually configuring listings.
Previously, users needed to build listing configs or filters by hand to answer questions like “show me all experiments that used carbon black.” With the Structured Search agent, you can ask these questions directly in natural language, and the system will generate and run the underlying listing configuration for you.
How to use:
- In the Uncountable navigation bar, click Ask AI to access the Assistant.
- Ask a question similar to how you would configure a listing (for example: “Do I have any experiments with carbon black low grade?”).
- The Assistant will return a response, including example experiments.
- Click All Results to open the listing in a sidepanel, with the appropriate filters automatically applied. Here, you can inspect and adjust the listing configuration if needed (e.g. adding additional filters or columns).
Uncountable Assistant: Context-Aware Responses
The Assistant can now use the context of what you are currently viewing in Uncountable to answer questions more precisely. Instead of asking you to restate what you are looking at, the Assistant can inspect the entity on screen and pull relevant values directly from the page, including information contained in attached PDFs.
This is especially useful when you are validating data or troubleshooting in the moment. For example, if you are viewing a Safety Data Sheet, you can ask:
- “What is the melting point of this material?”
- “What is the flash point?”
- “Which materials is it incompatible with?”
The Assistant will answer using the content on the page you have open, so you can stay in your workflow while you confirm details and move to the next step.
Uncountable Assistant: Page-Aware Responses
The Uncountable Assistant now takes the current page context into account when answering questions. This makes it easier to ask task-oriented questions directly from where you are working and receive answers tailored to that workflow.
Examples:
- On the Ingredients Listing page, asking “How can I create a new ingredient from here?” returns instructions specific to that listing. On the Recipe view of an experiment, the same question returns create-from-recipe guidance instead.
- On the Recipe vs Measurement view of an experiment, asking “How can I turn on the attribute column?” returns different, view-appropriate instructions.
Uncountable Assistant: Modify Listings with Actions
The Uncountable Assistant can now perform common listing actions for you, like removing columns, adding filters, and editing listing configurations.
Previously, making listing changes required manually editing the listing in the UI every time. With this update, you can ask the Uncountable Assistant to apply listing changes directly, and it can ask clarifying questions when needed.
Example actions the Uncountable Assistant supports:
- Remove columns
- Add filters
- Remove filters
- Add columns
- Set column values
This listing modification flow is expected to become the primary way to update listings over time.
Uncountable Assistant: Redesigned UI for Easier Navigation
The Uncountable Assistant has a refreshed UI designed to make it easier to access, view past chats, and create new ones.
- Access the Assistant by selecting the ✨ symbol at the top of the Uncountable navigation bar. This will open the chat in a sidepanel on the left side of your screen. If you close the chat, clicking it again will bring you back to your active thread.
Currently, this feature must be enabled manually in Company-Wide Settings > Platform Config by toggling on Enable Ask AI in Sidebar.
- View a listing of past Assistant chats by clicking the 🗨️ icon in the top left corner of the Assistant chat.
- Create a new chat by clicking the ➕ icon in the top right corner of the Assistant chat.
- View your chat in a full page (instead of sidepanel) by clicking the open icon in the top right corner of the Assistant sidepanel.
This redesign was introduced because users increasingly treat Assistant chat as a workflow surface, not a one-off interaction. The new UI reduces friction when you need to reference prior chats, restart a workflow, or quickly return to your active thread.
“Ask AI” from the Quick Actions Menu
Uncountable users can now ask the Uncountable Assistant questions directly from Quick Actions.
This reduces the number of clicks needed to access the help tool. It is intended to make the Assistant more discoverable and better integrated into your workflows at the moment users get stuck. Instead of leaving the workflow to search docs or open a separate help surface, users can quickly access the help bot and ask questions.
Now, simply click Quick Actions in the navigation bar (or use the Command + K shortcut) to open the Quick Actions modal, type your question, and select Ask AI.

Uncountable Assistant: Create and Edit Custom Entities
The Uncountable Assistant now supports creating and editing entities directly through chat. You can request changes across any entity types you have permission to create or edit—such as custom entities, outputs, inputs, and more.
For example, you can ask the Assistant to:
- “Append ‘(Legacy)’ to all entities created before 2024.”
- “Set the workflow phase for all Quality Incidents reported in October 2024 to ‘Resolution in Progress’.”
- “Create a Viscosity output with these fields: …”
If your request isn’t immediately clear, the Assistant will follow up with clarifying questions to ensure the change is scoped correctly (for example, when names match multiple entities, or the entity type or field isn’t specified). Before applying any changes, the Assistant will show a proposed change summary so you can quickly review what will be created or updated.
