Research and Development Engineer: the all-in-one AI plugin

Skills for research and development engineers 15

• literature review assistantRuns the full literature review: search, summarize, synthesize, cluster, gap-check and cite, so you get a sourced review instead of scattered PDFs.
• material selection guideCompares material properties, compatibility, cost and compliance, for example ranking three polymers for a housing that must survive 120 C.
• design optimization assistantOptimizes a design across parameters, cost, weight and reliability, for example trimming bracket mass 15 percent without losing stiffness.
• research analystBuilds sourced reports on markets, competitors, trends and regulations, for example mapping who else is filing patents in your sensor niche.
• prototype testing analysis assistantTurns raw prototype test data into trends, anomalies, reliability and cost findings, for example showing iteration 3 cut cycle time 12 percent.
• office academic searchFinds papers and explains their methods and findings, for example summarizing how published studies measured coating adhesion.

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

Apps you can build with AI 8

• Searchable research library and data stewardship consoleBuild this to stop re-finding old papers and test reports, keeping provenance and review state attached to every file. Demo included.
• Source-linked document analysis and Q&A consoleBuild this to ask questions across specs and standards and get answers traced back to the exact clause. Demo included.
• Reviewed research evidence and writing workspaceBuild this to cut search, extraction and citation work while keeping every claim in your report traceable. Demo included.
• Specialist literature monitoringBuild this to watch only the papers that match your narrow relevance rules, with inspectable inclusion decisions. Demo included.
• Source-linked multi-model text and code workbenchBuild this to run generation, coding and analysis in one owned console where outputs keep their sources. Demo included.
• Source-linked team AI assistant and admin consoleBuild this to give your lab one AI assistant with shared chat, document Q&A and admin controls over access. Demo included.
• Multi-source research dataset discovery and stewardship consoleBuild this to find and prepare datasets across sources faster, with provenance and review kept visible. Demo included.
• Unstructured research data stewardship consoleBuild this to label and reconcile messy lab notes, images and logs without losing where each item came from. Demo included.
