What you can do
- Find samples. “Show my samples from last week” or “Find the TCGA colon slides in the public cohort.”
- Organize sample metadata. Ask to list sample fields or create a field such as “Study cohort” with a description and select options. Creating a definition is free. Assigning its values is a separate sample update.
- View a slide in the chat. Ask the assistant to open a sample, and an interactive viewer appears in the conversation. Pan, zoom, and switch markers just like on the platform.
- Check the cost before you run. “How much would CD3e, CD20, and Ki67 cost on this slide?” The estimate is free.
- Run Lattice (Claude). Strand AI tells your assistant to show you the credit estimate and get your OK before it spends anything. Keep your assistant’s “ask before using tools that make changes” setting on.
- Check progress and download results. Ask whether a run has finished, then get a download link for the predicted markers.
- Segment cells. Start cell segmentation on a slide (free) to get per-cell measurements with your results.
Pick your assistant
Before you start
- You need a Strand AI account that belongs to an organization. Runs use that organization’s credits. Sign up free.
- Slides must be de-identified before upload. Never upload slides or file names that contain patient information. Automated de-identification is off by default and runs only when enabled for your organization. See Security and data handling.
- Large slides upload best in your browser. For multi-GB whole-slide images, upload at app.strandai.com/samples/upload, then ask your assistant to work with the slide.
- Research use only. Not for use in clinical diagnosis, treatment, or patient-care decisions. Assistants are instructed to decline clinical requests.
Try these prompts
Show my samples, then open the newest one in the viewer.
Estimate CD3e, CD4, CD20, and Ki67 for sample “Biopsy 12”. Don’t run it yet.
That estimate looks fine. Run it. (Claude)
Has my last run finished? If so, give me the results as OME-TIFF.
Which markers can I predict?
Good to know
- The viewer opens one sample at a time. If you have several samples with similar names, the assistant may ask which one you mean.
- Your slide images stay private. The viewer shows your results to you, but the images themselves are never sent to the AI model.
- Connections are per organization. When you connect, you pick one Strand AI organization, and the assistant can only see that organization’s samples and the public cohort. To switch organizations, reconnect.
- You stay in control. See and revoke connected assistants anytime in Settings → Connected Apps.
- After an update, refresh the tool list. If something described here is missing, refresh Strand AI’s tools in your assistant. In Claude: Customize → Connectors → Strand AI → ⋯ → Refresh tools list. In ChatGPT: Settings → Plugins → Strand AI → Refresh tools.
