## What the Agent Can See

### Conversation

The agent remembers your entire conversation history in the current session, including your questions, the agent's responses, and any analysis results.

### Current Notebook

The agent can see:

* All code in your notebook cells
* Execution results and outputs from running cells
* Plots and visualizations you've generated
* Interactive widgets and their current settings
* Variables and data in your notebook

This helps the agent understand what analysis you've already done and build on your work.

### Analysis Plan

If you're working through a multi-step analysis, the agent can see your plan and track progress through each step.

### Platform-Specific Knowledge

The agent has access to documentation for supported technologies (Xenium, Vizgen, Takara, Visium, AtlasXOmics, etc.) and can reference best practices and workflows specific to your platform.

### Attached Files

When you attach files via the chat, the agent can use them in the analysis.

## What the Agent Cannot See

* **Previous sessions**: Each notebook session is isolated—the agent starts fresh each time
* **Other notebooks**: The agent only sees the current notebook you're working in
* **External websites**: The agent cannot browse the internet or access external URLs

<Note>
  If you want the agent to continue work from a different notebook, ask the agent in your previous notebook to create a summary file, upload to Latch Data, and attach the summary file in the new notebook.
