    Ask Flow. The researcher asks Flow to plan an experiment from the workspace papers. Flow searches the workspace first.
  4. 00:20
    You approve. Flow proposes the experiment and waits. The researcher reviews the hypothesis and approves it. Nothing is saved until then.
  5. 00:33
    Test. The approved experiment appears as planned on the experiments board.

Recorded in ResearcherFlow with a sample workspace. The screens and the approval step are the product's own; Flow's replies were scripted for the recording.

Inside ResearcherFlow

One workspace for
the whole research cycle.

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

Every paper becomes a structured card.

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.

  • DOI, link, Zotero and Mendeley import
  • Summary, methods, findings and limitations
  • Search across every workspace
Literature review guide
A paper in ResearcherFlow with three suggested next actions and an analysis card listing its summary, key findings, methods and limitations.

Ask Flow

Flow plans from your evidence. You approve.

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.

  • Grounded in your own sources
  • Shows which step of the scientific method it is on
  • Every change waits for your approval
Flow proposing an experiment, with its hypothesis open for review beside Review and Approve buttons. The scientific-method strip shows Test, awaiting approval.

Test

Track every experiment and run.

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.

  • Hypotheses, variables and controls
  • Runs with observations and outcomes
  • Experiment and task boards
Experiment planning guide
The experiments board, with planned, running and completed experiments showing their run counts and outcomes.

Share

Write it up beside the evidence.

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.

  • Manuscripts, weekly updates and slides
  • Export Markdown, JSON, CSV or a ZIP snapshot
  • Publish to OSF

    • Thesis chapters drafted beside their sources
    • A weekly update ready before you meet
    • Start free with three workspaces
  • Postdocs and PIs

    Plan the next experiment, and the grant that pays for it.

    • Experiments and runs across every project
    • Grant strategy, with a first-pass NIH or NSF compliance check
    • Flow drafts; nothing is saved without you
  • Labs

    Share the work and keep the record.

    • Owner, editor, viewer and guest roles
    • A lab dashboard across your workspaces
    • An activity log of every change

Research is a cycle

Follow the question. Revisit the evidence.

Explore each step below. Start anywhere, and return as your understanding changes.
FlowThe scientific method, in practice

Example phase · Observe

What do we already know about this topic?

Flow

Start with the observations.

In this example, two papers describe different c-ring structures. Keep their methods and sample conditions beside the findings.

A simple way to get started

Your next research cycle
starts with one paper.

Start small. Your papers, questions and notes stay together as your research grows. No need to organize everything before you begin.

  1. 01

    Start with a paper

    Try a DOI in the free summarizer. See the contribution, findings and limitations before creating an account.

  2. 02

    Follow your next question

    Bring the paper into a workspace. Ask Flow to compare evidence or help plan what to investigate.

  3. 03

    Keep the work connected

    Review the sources, save a useful note, and carry the context into your next experiment or update.

Built for careful work

Helpful AI.
Human judgment.

Flow helps you explore, connect, and draft. You decide what belongs in your research.

See the evidence

Inspect sources and follow the reasoning behind an answer.

Stay in control

Flow waits for your approval before saving proposed notes, tasks, and changes.

Take it with you

Export Markdown, JSON, CSV or a ZIP snapshot of everything, whenever you like.

Before you get started

A few useful answers.

Explore plans and limits
Can I try ResearcherFlow before creating an account?

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.

What can I bring in, and can I take it out again?

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.

Is my research used to train AI models?

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.

Do I have to follow the scientific method in a fixed order?

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.

What does the scientific-method indicator show?

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.

Can I use it for one thesis or an individual project?

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.
