AVA is the Institute’s research assistant. It answers from a curated library of more than 4,000 World Bank reports and documents added to the project, cites sources for its claims, and says when the sources don’t cover a question. It supports 60+ languages; you can ask in your language, while citations remain in the source language.[:cite[1]{ln=2}] [:cite[1]{ln=4}] Choosing a mode Research Fast — start here to get oriented. Research Deep — use this when you need material for a document. Computer — choose this when you need a number, a file, or a chart rather than a paragraph.[:cite[2]{ln=1}] Getting better answers Ask one clear question per message, include the country or region and time period, identify the intended audience or length, and request the structure you want—for example, policy points, cited evidence, knowledge gaps, and next steps. You can also ask what the sources do not cover.[:cite[3]{ln=1}] [:cite[3]{ln=2}] [:cite[3]{ln=3}] [:cite[3]{ln=4}] Reading and following up Each claim in an answer has a citation: hover over it to see the document, page, and passage, or click it to open the document at that page. Ask follow up questions in the same thread to keep the context; start a new thread for a different question.[:cite[2]{ln=2}] [:cite[2]{ln=3}] [:cite[2]{ln=6}] [:cite[2]{ln=7}] Using Computer mode for broader research Computer mode can search public sources and data services beyond the project library. To use the research playbook, ask in Computer mode: “use the agora skills research playbook.” [:cite[4]{ln=1}] [:cite[4]{ln=3}] Avoid pasting confidential or personal material: shared project content is visible to other project members, and conversations may be reviewed by the AVA team.[:cite[3]{ln=5}] [:cite[3]{ln=6}]
