About Notes9

Agentic AI for Scientific Research

Notes9 is an AI-native electronic lab notebook that unifies experimental records, inventory management, literature, and analysis in a single, structured workspace.

Our Mission

To design an AI-augmented research environment that reduces manual overhead, strengthens reproducibility, and helps scientists move from hypothesis to robust results with fewer fragmented tools.

Our Vision

We envision every research group working alongside an AI assistant that understands their projects, preserves institutional knowledge, and provides transparent support across the entire discovery lifecycle.

Our Story

Notes9 emerged directly from the day-to-day experience of working in academic and industrial laboratories. As bench scientists and data scientists, we repeatedly encountered the same pattern: project-critical knowledge scattered across paper notebooks, PDFs, and ad-hoc spreadsheets.

Conventional ELNs improved record-keeping but did little to help researchers reason with their data. Generic LLMs showed promise but lacked the domain awareness required for serious rigor.

Notes9 is our response: an agentic AI layer built on top of a structured research workspace, designed to assist with literature triage, experiment design, data curation, and analysis—while preserving clear provenance and oversight.

Our Team

Notes9 is led by a multidisciplinary group of scientists and engineers with backgrounds in pharmaceutical sciences, AI, and software development.
