This guide takes you from a blank task to a result you can inspect and refine.

​
1. Choose where the work belongs

Use Quick Tasks for a one-off question. For an ongoing experiment or dataset, create a project so its tasks can share files and project context. To create a project, open the project selector in the sidebar and select Create a new project. Give it a clear name; you can add context, instructions, and auto attached Skills later under Settings → Projects.

​
2. Create a task

Open the project and create a new task. A task is one conversation with Biomni. Keep a task focused on one analysis thread so its files, decisions, and follow-up requests remain easy to understand. If the model selector is available, Standard is the default for everyday work. See Models & Compute before choosing Fast, Max, or a custom model.

​
3. Add files, resources, and Skills

Select + Add beside the composer to open the current attachment menu:
  • Upload files or Upload folder adds local data.
  • Select from uploaded files attaches an existing project file.
  • Import from cloud storage copies supported external files into the project when that feature is enabled.
  • Resources opens databases, scientific tools, and software. You can also type @ to search resources and files.
  • Skills opens reusable workflows. You can also type + to search Skills.
  • Connectors exposes connected external services when your organization has enabled them.
Selected files, Skills, and resources appear directly in the message so you can confirm the task has the right context before sending.
For a folder with many related files, upload the folder or a ZIP instead of attaching files one by one. A single message can attach up to 100 files.

​
4. Write the request

Include four things:
  1. Goal — the decision, analysis, or artifact you need.
  2. Inputs — filenames, cohorts, organisms, conditions, or sources.
  3. Constraints — required method, reference build, thresholds, or exclusions.
  4. Output — the files, figures, tables, or explanation you expect.
See How to Prompt for more patterns.

​
5. Follow the work

After you send the message, the task shows the agent’s progress and tool activity. Expand trace sections when you need to inspect commands, tool inputs, or outputs. Depending on the work, the task can also show:
  • a Plan for multi-step execution;
  • Results generated during the task;
  • Compute or HPC activity that continues in the background; and
  • Notes associated with the task.
You can leave a long-running task and work elsewhere. Return from the project sidebar to check its current status.

​
6. Inspect the result

Generated files appear as artifacts in the conversation and in Results. Open a supported file to preview it, or download it for local inspection. Keep the analysis in the same task when asking Biomni to revise an existing result:

​
7. Verify important work

  • Open citations and confirm that they support the nearby claim.
  • Inspect generated tables, notebooks, plots, and reports.
  • Ask Biomni to state assumptions, exclusions, software versions, and parameters.
  • Run Scientific Review on a completed answer.
  • Independently validate results used for clinical, regulatory, or publication decisions.
