From literature search to manuscript, with review built in.
The challenge
Clinical research teams juggle literature searches, PDFs, screening decisions, extraction spreadsheets and manuscript drafts across different tools, with reviews tracked over email.
What we built
A research workspace that carries a study from literature search to manuscript: publication uploads, study screening, structured data extraction, review approvals and manuscript editing. It adds multilingual dictation, research exports and limited local medical image previews.
The AI layer
A local AI connector proposes extraction, analysis and manuscript contributions.
Researchers review and approve every AI contribution before it is used.

Who uses it
Built around real roles.
Researcher
Searches, screens and extracts.
Reviewer
Approves screening and extraction.
Principal investigator
Oversees the study and the manuscript.
In practice · illustrative example
A team reviewing four hundred papers screens them in the workspace, extracts outcomes into a structured table with AI suggestions they approve one by one, and exports the dataset straight into the manuscript draft.
Build your version
Start here, extend further.
Capabilities we can build on this foundation for your version of the system.
+PRISMA-style flow diagrams generated from screening decisions
The AI connector runs locally, so extraction and analysis can happen without sending data to an outside service.
Can the AI write the paper?
No. It proposes extraction, analysis and contributions, and researchers review and approve everything.
Can you build a version of this for our business?
Yes. Every system starts with a discovery conversation about your workflow, data and goals, and we adapt the design to fit. Most engagements produce a working, testable system within a few weeks to a couple of months, depending on scope.
Can it integrate with the systems we already use?
Integration with existing tools such as ERPs, accounting packages, databases and document stores is scoped during discovery, so the system fits around how you already work.
