What is Terminal?

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Terminal is NetworkOS's intelligent assistant for your data. It lets you interact conversationally with data across your Workspace (from artifacts to people, organizations, and events) to uncover insights and build graphs.

Key capabilities

  • Auto: Automatically selects the best agent for your request.

  • Research: Performs deep-dive analysis for complex investigations.


What you can do with Terminal

Upload and analyze documents

Quickly process transcripts, reports, or briefings: just drag and drop to get started. People, organizations, and other record types are detected and organized for you automatically.

Ask questions

Ask questions and get instant, data-backed answers from your workspace. Terminal understands context, helping you explore topics and uncover insights with ease.

Build on your conversations

Terminal keeps your conversation history organized, so you can pick up where you left off without repeating yourself.

To return to a past conversation, open the dropdown in the top right of Terminal and select All Chats. From there you can revisit insights, build on earlier discoveries, and see how your thinking evolves over time.

Reference artifacts and records

Use @mentions to bring specific people, organizations, events, or artifacts directly into your Terminal conversation. This gives the AI context from your workspace without requiring you to re-paste content.

Mentioned data records you share in a conversation remain available and referenceable throughout the entire session.

Build your knowledge graph

Add extracted records and relationships directly into your NetworkOS Network, Mission, and Views to visualize connections across people, organizations, and events.

Research smarter

Use the Research Agent to explore organizations, technologies, and trends. Generate structured, source-verified reports in seconds.


Searching in Terminal

Terminal lets you query your workspace in natural language. Just type what you're looking for and NetworkOS will surface relevant people, organizations, artifacts, Missions, and more.

Type your query directly into Terminal to search across your workspace.

For example:

  • Search people and artifacts about cybersecurity

  • Who's worked on energy storage in past Missions?

Using @mentions

Use @mentions in any query to reference specific artifacts, people, organizations, or events and bring them directly into context.

Reviewing results

Results appear instantly in Terminal. Click ">" to expand your Studio output, then add items to a Mission or create a View to revisit them later.


Researching in Terminal

Research helps you quickly gather and analyze intelligence from across the web, giving you structured, source-backed insights to support your Missions, operations, and decisions.

Use Research when you need:

  • Background on organizations, technologies, or events

  • Trend analysis

  • External research from the internet

  • Structured reports with citations, dates, and source links

Using Research in Terminal

  1. Open Terminal — Open Terminal from your workspace to get started.

  2. Ask a research question — Type /research to launch the Research Action. Use @mentions to add context (like organizations, people, or events) to narrow your search.

  3. Review your results — Terminal generates a structured research report with verified sources. Click ">" to expand your Studio output and review findings. In-text citation numbers are clickable links: click any to jump straight to the full reference, making it easy to verify sources and dig deeper.

  4. Save your report — Select Save Artifact to store your report for future reference.


Extracting records from artifacts

Extraction transforms your artifacts into structured, connected data by identifying key records (such as people, organizations, events, and contextual signals) within your workspace. Terminal scans meeting transcripts, briefings, and reports to surface details you can add directly to your network.

NetworkOS identifies and organizes key records, including:

  • People: individuals mentioned, along with their roles and key details

  • Organizations: groups or institutions involved in the discussion

  • Events: referenced meetings, initiatives, or activities

  • Missions: potential top-level initiatives mentioned

How to extract records

  1. Upload your document — Open Terminal, upload your artifact, and press Enter. NetworkOS analyzes the document and suggests next steps automatically.

  2. Define what you need — Terminal will prompt you to choose what kind of information to extract. You can respond to these prompts or give explicit instructions, such as:

    • Extract people and organizations from this document

    • Extract events from this document

  3. Review extracted records — Once analysis is complete, you'll see a list of identified records. Use ">" to expand your Studio output to review details before taking action.
