SciSpace BioMed Agent
SciSpace BioMed is a domain-native AI “co-scientist” for biomedical research that combines a vast literature database with 150+ integrated bio-tools and 100+ academic databases and software suites to streamline complex research workflows, from genomics and single-cell analysis to drug discovery and clinical genomics. It enables researchers to ask natural-language questions, ingest datasets, interpret variants or multi-omics data, design cloning or wet-lab workflows, reason about clinical or disease biology, and generate publication-ready outputs (e.g., figures, tables, and presentations) with full transparency and citations. Users can interact with scientific papers via “chat with PDF,” highlight confusing text, math, or tables, and get clear explanations, ideal for understanding difficult methods or concepts. For literature review or exploratory research, its AI-driven semantic search accesses millions of papers and returns citation-backed summaries.

ScienceDesk
ScienceDesk data automation demystifies the use of artificial intelligence in materials sciences. A practical tool for your team to add and apply the newest AI algorithms on an everyday basis. Customizable properties, universal identifiers, QR-codes and a powerful textual-numeric search engine that links sample and experimental data. ScienceDesk is an innovative platform for scientists and engineers to interact with, collaborate on and obtain insights into their experimental data. Unfortunately, the potential of this asset is not fully exploited due to the variety of data formats and the strong dependence on experts to manually extract specific information. The ScienceDesk research data management system solves this problem by combining documentation and data analysis in a cleverly-engineered data structure. Researchers and scientists are empowered by our algorithms to gain total control of their data. They can not only share datasets, but even the analysis know-how.
