Kohnex Brain Tutorials

Learn to think across domains.

Use Kohnex to research unfamiliar problems, discover product opportunities, generate hypotheses, and turn distant connections into practical decisions.

Your first Kohnex query

Give the agent a problem, the domains you want connected, and the kind of answer you need. Kohnex will activate the graph and return concepts, metaphors, paths, and eureka connections.

Use kohnex_think in Explore mode to research fault-tolerant
consensus patterns for a multi-agent AI system. Connect
biology, distributed systems, and game theory. Return:
1. The strongest patterns
2. The trade-offs
3. A practical architecture
4. Questions that need more evidence

Explore

Broad activation finds relevant concepts beyond the obvious keywords.

Beamform

Use this when several concepts must intersect in one answer.

Evidential

Use this when claims need support and disconfirming evidence.

Tutorial 01

Research unfamiliar territory

Use Kohnex as a research partner when you are entering a field, comparing approaches, or looking for connections that a single discipline would miss.

Copyable prompt
Use Explore mode to research the intersection of AI agents, cybersecurity, and knowledge graphs. Identify underserved problems, relevant patterns from other domains, promising research questions, and the evidence needed to validate each idea.
  1. Run the broad question in Explore mode.
  2. Use kohnex_domain to inspect the strongest domain.
  3. Use kohnex_path to trace a surprising connection.
  4. Run the strongest hypothesis again in Evidential mode.

Tutorial 02

Discover product opportunities

Kohnex does not claim that every generated idea is novel. It helps you surface combinations, formulate hypotheses, and identify which ideas deserve validation.

Use Out-of-Box mode to explore product opportunities at the
intersection of biological immune systems, distributed systems,
and AI-agent governance. For each opportunity return:
- Target user and painful problem
- Product concept and differentiator
- Existing alternatives
- Technical risk
- A one-week validation experiment
Discover

Generate combinations

Use Out-of-Box or Dream mode to explore unusual intersections.

Reduce

Find the core job

Use Reductionist mode to remove attractive but unnecessary features.

Validate

Design the experiment

Use Evidential and Scenario modes to test assumptions before building.

The control layer

Choose the way Kohnex thinks

Modes change activation depth, seed selection, inhibition, exploration, and synthesis behavior. You can name a mode directly in your prompt or call kohnex_mode to inspect it first.

Compose the tools

A strong workflow usually moves from broad discovery to targeted verification.

1. kohnex_think  → research and synthesis
2. kohnex_domain → inspect a relevant domain
3. kohnex_path   → trace a surprising connection
4. kohnex_mode   → choose a sharper reasoning strategy
5. kohnex_stats  → understand graph coverage
