Inside ResearcherFlow
Papers, questions, experiments and writing live together, and Flow works across all of them. These are screens from the app, with a sample workspace.
Read
Add a paper by DOI or link, or bring it in from Zotero or Mendeley. ResearcherFlow drafts its summary, methods, key findings and limitations, and suggests next steps you can turn into tasks.
Ask Flow
Ask in plain language. Flow searches your papers, notes and data first, then proposes a note, task, question or experiment. Nothing is saved until you review it and approve.
Test
Record the hypothesis, variables and controls. Log each run with its observations and outcome, and see what is planned, running and done at a glance. Tasks get a board of their own.
Share
Draft a manuscript section by section in the same workspace as its papers and experiments. Generate a weekly update for your supervisor or lab meeting, and export your work whenever you need it.
Who it's for
Start on your own, and bring your lab in when you are ready. Every workspace can be shared with the right level of access.

Research is a cycle
FlowThe scientific method, in practiceExample phase · Observe
What do we already know about this topic?
In this example, two papers describe different c-ring structures. Keep their methods and sample conditions beside the findings.
Record what each paper reports, how the samples were prepared, and which conditions differ. Keep observations separate from explanations.
Example only. Nothing is saved.
A simple way to get started
Start small. Your papers, questions and notes stay together as your research grows. No need to organize everything before you begin.
Try a DOI in the free summarizer. See the contribution, findings and limitations before creating an account.
Bring the paper into a workspace. Ask Flow to compare evidence or help plan what to investigate.
Review the sources, save a useful note, and carry the context into your next experiment or update.
Built for careful work
Flow helps you explore, connect, and draft. You decide what belongs in your research.
Inspect sources and follow the reasoning behind an answer.
Flow waits for your approval before saving proposed notes, tasks, and changes.
Export Markdown, JSON, CSV or a ZIP snapshot of everything, whenever you like.
Plans
The free plan is not a trial and needs no card. Paid plans add room and more AI usage, billed monthly, and you can cancel any time.

Yes. The free paper summarizer accepts a DOI or paper link and uses the title and available abstract to prepare a structured summary. You can also view a prepared example. Create a free workspace when you want to keep a paper and continue with Flow.
Add papers by DOI or link, import them from Zotero or Mendeley, and upload files. Export a workspace as Markdown, JSON or CSV, download a ZIP snapshot of everything, or publish a manuscript to OSF. Nothing is deleted if you change plans.
Not without your explicit consent. When you use an AI feature, the relevant parts of your workspace are sent to our AI provider to prepare the response. The privacy policy has the details.
No. Start with the question, observation or result you have. ResearcherFlow connects papers, questions, experiments and notes so you can revisit earlier steps as the evidence changes.
It shows the kind of work Flow is doing in the current conversation, such as searching sources, planning a test or drafting a manuscript section. It also shows when a proposed change is waiting for your review. It does not assign a permanent stage to your project or track work you do outside Flow.
Yes. Start with one workspace for your topic, add the sources you are using, and give Flow a focused research question. You can keep building that context through reading, experiments and writing. See Pricing for the current plan limits.
