✳ RESEARCH, IN THE AGE OF AGENTS

Talk to your agent.
See your research take shape.

Plan experiments, follow your team, and write the paper together.
Your AI agent helps. Research Tab keeps the work connected.

FROM A REQUEST TO A RESEARCH RECORD

Ask. Act. See the result.

Three examples from one connected project.

EASY / Tasks
TASK-8 · Alex Rivera · Backlog. The actual record created by the MCP tool.ACTUAL UI

Illustrative requests · Actual application captures · Fictional collaborators and tutorial measurements

PAPERS · COLLABORATIVE LATEX

Write together.
Think with an agent.

Shared LaTeX, a compiled PDF, and the research behind it.
Ask for a revision or a reference. Review the suggestion.
Apply it to the manuscript your team is writing.

“Make the opening of this abstract clearer. Keep the methods and numbers intact.”
YOU REVIEW & APPLY

BEFORE · TUTORIAL SOURCE

We trained LeNet-5 and a parameter-matched multilayer perceptron on a deterministic MNIST subset. Ten three-epoch CPU reference runs used five shared seeds per architecture.

REVIEWED REVISION · IN THE CAPTURE BELOW

We compared LeNet-5 with a parameter-matched multilayer perceptron on a deterministic MNIST subset. Each architecture was evaluated with five shared seeds in three-epoch CPU runs.

EASY / Papers
Two fictional researchers in a real local collaboration session. Revised source, genuinely compiled PDF.
✓ Shared LaTeX editing✓ Revision discussions✓ Figures & result references✓ Overleaf ZIP export

Agent assistance is illustrative. Researchers apply source changes; the current MCP tools read shared Paper source.

DISCUSSIONS, PEOPLE & PROGRESS

Catch up.
Move the research forward.

Ask what the team decided or how a collaborator’s work is going.
Get a concise answer grounded in shared records,
with the discussion and tasks there to inspect.

EASY / E-1 / Discussion
A published exchange, kept with the experiment.ACTUAL UI

Progress reflects recorded task updates. Shared discussion context does not expose collaborators’ private local drafts.

EXPERIMENTS → FINDINGS → PAPERS

Keep the evidence
behind the answer.

Compare runs, inspect the data, and carry figures into the paper.
Your agent can help surface a finding.
Researchers decide what the evidence supports.

  1. 01Compare the runs

    Ten reference runs. Five seeds per architecture.

  2. 02Review the finding

    A preliminary interpretation, checked against the protocol.

  3. 03Use the evidence

    Figures and tables retain their Result, Run and checksum references.

GMVIP / Task folders · synthetic example
One folder for each task, with empty folders and Unassigned visible.

YOUR AGENT. YOUR WORKSPACE.

Bring the agent
you already work with.

MCP is the connection that lets a compatible AI agent
read and update authorized research records.
You choose its access. You can revoke it.

  1. 1

    Choose a project

    Create a project connection with the permissions your agent needs.

  2. 2

    Connect your agent

    Add the connection to an MCP-compatible client using the setup guide.

  3. 3

    Ask and inspect

    Give your agent a task, then review the resulting records in the dashboard.

Scoped access

Grant the permissions you need and revoke the connection when you choose.

Local execution

Run work on your own machine. Choose what becomes part of the shared record.

Human accountability

Researchers review changes, verify evidence and make scientific decisions.

PRICING

Start with the research, scale with the group.

A place to start, with room for your research to grow. Invite collaborators through a research group; seat and project limits follow the plan shown below.

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Before you begin.

See current plans →
Does Research Tab run commands on my computer?

No. Your tools execute locally. Research Tab records the tasks, runs, metrics and artifacts you choose to share; it does not open a remote shell.

Can my team write a paper together?

Yes. Papers supports collaborative LaTeX, compiled PDFs, review discussions and project evidence. You can export an Overleaf ZIP with the inserted research assets.

Does my agent directly edit the paper?

Current MCP tools can read shared Paper source. Ask for a paragraph revision or bibliography entry, then review and apply the suggestion in the editor.

How do collaborators join a project?

Create or join a research group, then invite collaborators with the role they need. Your plan determines the available seats and active projects.

Can a group use its own storage?

Eligible plans can connect institution-owned S3-compatible storage while preserving the same permission, scanning and provenance rules.

FROM THE FIRST QUESTION TO THE FINAL PAPER

Connected from start to finish.
