The all-in-one AI plugin for Biologists

Skills for biologists 17

• lab literature review companionBuilds search strategies and synthesizes lab literature; for example, finds gap statements on antibiotic resistance mechanisms for your next project.
• scientific communication assistantTurns your findings into papers, posters, talks, and outreach; for example, rewrites a dense results section for a general audience.
• office academic searchSearches and analyzes academic literature; for example, pulls recent papers on CRISPR off-target effects and summarizes their methods.
• research paper summarizerSummarizes papers and compares studies; for example, extracts key findings and citations from five papers for your lab meeting.
• lab data analysis assistantCleans and analyzes lab data; for example, runs QC trends on six months of plate reader readings and charts drift.
• statistical analysis workflow assistantRuns full statistical workflows; for example, tests whether treatment groups differ and checks assumptions before reporting p-values.

Plus a start-here assistant, the prompt library and the app builder, and for members the daily brief.

Apps you can build with AI 5

• Reviewed research evidence and writing workspaceKeep every claim traceable to a source while cutting manual search, extraction, and citation work. Demo included.
• Reviewed research evidence and writing workspaceReduce tool switching and reference errors while keeping the researcher's judgment in control of the science. Demo included.
• Source-linked research writing and review workbenchCut document revision cycles without losing source accuracy or the meaning you intended in your draft. Demo included.
• Scientific figure studioBuild clear figures that stay traceable to the exact numerical results you supplied. Demo included.
• Grant proposal preparationKeep your proposal narrative tied to the actual research plan and the evidence behind it. Demo included.

AI agents 12

In the download. An agent runs a whole recurring task for you, step by step, and asks you before anything important. Ask your AI: "Run the Culture Contamination Investigation Agent". Each one also has a guided set-up with sample data on its page.

• Culture Contamination Investigation AgentFind the most likely contamination source and confirm it with tests.
• Growth Curve Fitting AgentProduce growth parameters from every curve using the same documented fitting rules.
• Metagenome Classification Review AgentProduce a taxonomy table where disputed calls have been tested against an independent reference.
• Analysis Plan Deviation Tracker AgentProduce a complete deviation log that matches the analysis actually run to the plan written.
• Blot and Gel Quantification Check AgentConsistent normalized band values in which every lane passes quality checks or is flagged with a reason.
• Sequencing Result Review AgentEach clone is classified as correct, usable with a note or failed, with a next step for every failure.
• Freezer Excursion Impact AgentAfter any excursion, the affected samples are identified, assessed and decided on within a day.
• Survey Route and Coverage Planning AgentA field route plan that covers the required habitat sample within the available time and daylight.
• Field Trip Permit and Gear Readiness AgentTeams leave with the right permits, calibrated instruments and complete gear every time.
• Biodiversity Index Time Series AgentA biodiversity trend that is comparable across years because effort differences are tested and standardized.
• Landowner Access Permission AgentEvery planned site visit has written, current access, and any gap is raised weeks before the visit.
• Environmental Swab Trend AgentPatterns in environmental results are found and resolved early, not after a product positive.

Connections (MCP servers) 12

A guide in the download. A connection lets your AI work in an app you already use. You add only the ones you use: ask your AI "Which apps can you connect to?" and follow the steps on each connection's page.

• NCBI PubMed MCP serverSearch PubMed's millions of research articles and get summaries, authors, and related papers through your AI.
• Scholar MCP serverYour AI can search academic papers, read them, map citations, and save them into a personal library.
• Mendeley MCP serverLets your AI search your Mendeley library, read your papers, and organize your folders for you.
• Research Hub MCP serverLets your AI search for papers, save them to Zotero, and write notes into your Obsidian vault for you.
• Google Scholar MCP serverLets your AI search Google Scholar and pull ready-made citations for papers you find. No install needed.
