#Artifacts & where they go

Everything Arachne makes is kept — research, sites, apps, media, and results — so you can find it again, reopen it, reuse it, and take it with you.

#Overview

When Arachne works toward a goal, it produces real things: a synthesized answer, a built site, a generated video, a comparison of options. Those things are not throwaway. Each one is saved as an artifact — a result you can return to, build on, and share long after the work that made it is done.

This matters because the value of Arachne is cumulative. A research dive you ran last week, a small app you had it build, a media gallery it generated — all of it stays available. You never have to redo work just to see it again, and you never lose a result because you closed a window or moved on to something else.

#What you can do

With artifacts, you can:

  • Find past work. Every research dive, built site or app, media collection, and result Arachne has produced is kept where you can locate it again.
  • Reopen a result. Open an artifact and see it exactly as it was delivered, with its full content intact.
  • Reuse it. Build on a previous result, feed it into new work, or use it as the starting point for the next task instead of beginning from scratch.
  • Export or download. Take an artifact out of Nourva — download a built site, a document, a media file, or a set of research findings to keep or share.
  • Keep results in any of the eight formats. Whatever shape a result took — table, chart, report, comparison, dashboard, media gallery, alert, or source pack — it is saved in that form and reopens that way.

The artifacts Arachne keeps include:

  • Research and deep dives — synthesized answers and structured findings, with their source pack so you can still check the origin of any claim.
  • Built sites and apps — the things Arachne built from your description, ready to open and use again.
  • Media — images, video, and voice from the creative studio, gathered as a media gallery you can browse.
  • Results in any format — any table, chart, report, comparison, dashboard, or alert Arachne produced along the way.

#How to use it

  1. Let Arachne finish a task. When a result is delivered, it is already saved as an artifact — you do not have to do anything to keep it.
  2. Return to past work. Go back to your saved artifacts to find what Arachne has produced before. Reopen the one you want.
  3. Reuse it in new work. Point a new request at a result you already have — ask Arachne to extend a built site, refine a report, or continue from earlier findings — instead of describing the whole thing again.
  4. Export or download what you need. When you want a result outside Nourva, download or export the artifact to keep it or share it.
  5. Ask for a different format if it helps. A saved result keeps the format it was delivered in, and you can ask Arachne to present the same work another way when that fits better.
Tip

If you know you will want to come back to something, give the task a clear goal up front. A well-described result is easier to recognize and reuse later among your saved artifacts.

#Examples

text
Reopen the research I did last week on supplier options and turn it into a comparison.

You see the earlier research artifact reopened, with its findings recast as a side-by-side comparison of the options against the things you care about.

text
Take the small site you built for me and let me download it.

You see the built site reopened as an artifact and made available to download so you can keep or share it.

Show me the images from the campaign work you did yesterday.

You see yesterday's creative work reopened as a media gallery you can browse, reuse, and download.

#Tips

  • Describe the outcome clearly. A result with a clear purpose is easier to find and recognize later than a vague one.
  • Build on what you have. Before starting fresh, check whether a past artifact already gets you most of the way there — reusing a result is faster than rebuilding it.
  • Export when it matters. If a result needs to live outside Nourva or be shared, download or export it so you have your own copy.
  • Trust that nothing is lost. Results are saved, so closing a window or stepping away does not cost you the work — you can come back to it.
