What are Storytell Collections?

Storytell Collections are a way to organize and interact with specific sets of data. Collections allow you to group related content together and perform targeted analyses on that data. Collections work in a Parent > Child relationship, allowing you to nest child sub-Collections inside the parent Collections. Here are some common uses of Collections:

• A Product Manager analyzing customer data: Create a Collection titled Customers, and then create sub-Collections for each customer name, like ACME. If you want to SmartChat™ with all your customer data, you can do it in the Customers Collection. If you want to SmartChat™ with just one specific customer, you can do it in the ACME Collection.
• A Marketer analyzing the competitive landscape: Create a Collection titled Competitors, and then sub-Collections for each specific competitor. You can also create a Collection for your own company’s public-facing material, like MyCompany and then ask SmartChat™ questions like “How does #MyCompany compare to #Competitors?”
• A venture capitalist tracking their portfolio: Create a Collection called My Portfolio and then sub-Collections for each company in your portfolio.
• A market analyst looking for hidden insights across data: Create a Collection for the entire data set you want to analyze, upload all your Assets into that Collection, and then start asking broad questions of your data. As you start to gain insights, create sub-Collections around each insight and move the Assets powering each insights from the parent Collection into the sub-Collections so you can SmartChat™ with just that smaller data set to deeply analyze each insight.

Collection Types

​

Personal vs Shared Collections

​

Personal Collections

Personal Collections are designed for individual use. They are private by default and owned solely by the creator.

• Ownership & Access Only the creator can view, edit, or manage the Collection unless they explicitly share it.
• Use Cases: Ideal for organizing private work, drafts, or personal resources that don’t require collaboration.
• Flexibility: You can convert a Personal Collection into a Shared Collection at any time.
• Management: The creator retains full control over actions like renaming, moving, or deleting the Collection.

​

Shared Collections

Shared Collections enable team collaboration and are accessible to multiple users with defined permissions.

Use Cases: Perfect for group projects, shared resources, or workflows requiring real-time input (e.g., editing, feedback).

​

When to Use Which?

• Use Personal for:

  • Private notes, unfinished drafts, or personal archives.
  • Storing sensitive content you don’t want others to access.

• Use Shared for:

  • Team projects, client-facing materials, or collaborative workflows
  • Content requiring feedback, approvals, or contributions from others.
