The all-in-one AI plugin for Materials Scientists

Skills for materials scientists 14

• office academic searchFinds papers and methods on a topic, for example cathode coatings, and synthesizes what they report.
• experiment planning assistantBuilds a full lab plan with protocol, equipment, budget, timeline, and compliance, for example a coating deposition run.
• lab data analysis assistantCleans and analyzes your lab data, for example DSC curves or tensile results, with QC charts and trends.
• literature review assistantRuns a full review with citations, synthesis, and gap analysis, for example on solid-state battery interfaces.
• experiment design plannerDesigns variables, sample size, randomization, and controls, for example a three-factor annealing study.
• hypothesis formulation assistantTurns a gap into a testable hypothesis with variables and feasibility, for example dopant effects on conductivity.

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

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 Research Data Intake Validation Agent". Each one also has a guided set-up with sample data on its page.

• Research Data Intake Validation AgentA validated, reproducible working dataset with raw data untouched.
• Research Literature Update AgentAn up-to-date evidence map with every new study screened.
• Lab Inventory Experiment Readiness AgentEvery experiment starts with valid materials and bookings ready.
• Scientific Unit Consistency AgentAn analysis working copy in which every calculation uses consistent, documented units.
• Research Review Response Evidence AgentA reviewer response where every claim points to a real change.
• Research Equipment Booking Constraint AgentFeasible facility schedules that include every prerequisite.
• Characterization Queue AgentKeep shared instruments busy with ready samples in the order that best serves deadlines.
• Phase Identification AgentAssign phases to a pattern with a documented fit and a list of anything left unexplained.
• Mechanical Test Outlier Review AgentReport property values from a batch where every excluded specimen has a documented reason.
• Property Database Entry Check AgentAllow only complete, consistent and plausible property entries into the database.
• Candidate Material Screening AgentProduce a short ranked list of candidates that meet the targets, with every value sourced.
• Failure Analysis Case AgentBuild a documented chain from evidence to the most likely failure cause, with the tests needed to confirm it.

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.
