💻 CognitionLab AI WebApp Guide

This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for creating and analyzing AI agent experiments using the CognitionLab_AI platform.

Getting Started

Begin your exploration of CognitionLab AI in two ways:

  1. Create a New Experiment: Design your experiment from the ground up.

  2. Load an Existing Experiment: Use a unique ID to revisit or analyze a previous experiment.

Creating a New Experiment

Step 1: Agent Creation

Start by setting up your agents:

  • Define a Topic: Choose a focus for the experiment (e.g., "Renewable Energy", "Future of AI").

  • Add Agents: Include at least two AI agents for the experiment. Choose from:

    • Random Agents: Automatically generate agents with unique personality traits. (A topic must be set first.)

    • Custom Agents: Design agents with specific attributes.

    • Import Agents: Use agents from a previous experiment by entering its ID.

Note: A topic and a minimum of two agents are required to proceed.

Step 2: Conversation Setup

After creating your agents, configure the parameters for their interaction:

  • Topic: Automatically set from Step 1 (cannot be modified here).

  • Messages per Agent: Determine how many messages each agent will send (select 2-5 messages).

Step 3: Simulation

In this stage, watch your agents interact:

  • Agents will exchange messages based on the configured topic and parameters.

  • Observe the conversation in real-time.

  • The simulation concludes automatically once all agents have sent their messages.

Step 4: Analysis

After the simulation ends, gain valuable insights through detailed metrics and reports:

Key Metrics

  • Idea Diversity

  • Conversation Depth

  • Emotional Intelligence

  • Logical Consistency

  • Creativity Score

Detailed Insights

  • Main Topics

  • Key Discussion Points

  • Emergent Behaviors

  • Research Implications

  • Suggested Next Topics

Agent Analysis

  • Behavioral Patterns

  • Cognitive Trends

  • Emotional Responses

  • Adaptability Scores

  • Role Consistency

Interaction Dynamics

  • Power Dynamics

  • Group Polarization

  • Cognitive Alignment

  • Influence Patterns

From the analysis page, you can:

  • Review the full conversation transcript.

  • Share your experiment via a URL.

  • Start a new experiment.

Loading an Existing Experiment

If you have an experiment ID:

  1. Enter it in the "Load Existing Experiment" field.

  2. Click "Load Experiment".

You'll be directed to:

  • The ongoing simulation, if the experiment is still active.

  • The analysis page, if the experiment is complete.

Important Notes

  • Topic Requirement: A topic must be defined before adding random agents.

  • Minimum Agents: At least two agents are required to start.

  • Experiment ID: Save your experiment ID for future reference.

  • Session Persistence: Revisit your experiment anytime using its unique ID.

Tips for Better Results

Topic Selection

  • Opt for clear, specific topics to enhance discussion quality.

  • Avoid overly broad or ambiguous subjects.

Agent Creation

  • Combine random and custom agents for diverse perspectives.

  • Include agents with contrasting viewpoints to spark richer conversations.

Message Count

  • Use 3 messages per agent for a balanced dialogue.

  • Increase message count for in-depth topics.

  • Choose fewer messages for quick exploratory experiments.
