The connected research workspace

AI that answers fromyour lab's actual work.

Every paper, protocol, result and note stays linked, so the assistant you ask has already read all of it, and cites what it used.

84%

of researchers already use AI in their work

7%

trust it enough to rely on for research decisions

Elsevier, Researcher of the Future, 2025


77%

of biologists have failed to reproduce another lab's experiment

Baker, Nature 533:452, 2016

The gap isn't capability. It's context. General models have never seen your data, so nothing they say can be checked.

The problem

Your work is already connected. Your tools are not.

Today

Four tools, none of which know about each other.

  • Protocols live in a shared drive nobody trusts
  • Results sit in spreadsheets on one laptop
  • Why a condition was dropped is in someone's head
  • Every AI conversation starts by re-explaining the project

With Notes9

One record, and an assistant that has read all of it.

  • Protocols versioned, with the literature that justified them
  • Data attached to the experiment that produced it
  • Decisions recorded where the work happened
  • Catalyst answers from your record, with citations

The chain

Every step writes a link to the last.

That chain is what makes an answer checkable, and what an ELN throws away.

Ask a research question in plain language. Notes9 searches PubMed, Europe PMC and OpenAlex, summarises what comes back, and files the papers that matter with their PDFs attached.

Meet Catalyst

Not a search box. An assistant that has read your lab.

Catalyst answers from your projects, notes and saved papers, and cites the record behind every claim, so you can open the source instead of trusting the summary.

Ask it about your work

Asked of a real project

“Why did we move to the 3:1 PEI ratio?”


Condition B (3:1) gave the highest transient yield in the ratio screen. Higher ratios raised cytotoxicity without improving yield, matching the ratio reported in the saved literature.
