Project Coordination Automation for Research
Hand off tedious project updates, meeting scheduling, and cross-department follow-ups to your AI agent—built for research scientists and lab managers.
You spend hours each week as a research scientist juggling project updates in Outlook, tracking tasks in Excel, and coordinating meetings over endless email threads. Administrative work eats into your research time and leaves you chasing responses from collaborators instead of focusing on experiments or data analysis.
Automates project updates, meeting scheduling, and cross-team task tracking for research scientists using email, Slack, and Google Calendar.
What this replaces
The hidden cost
What this is really costing you
In technology research departments, scientists and lab managers lose 1.5 hours every week updating project status in shared Google Sheets, coordinating meetings through Outlook, and following up with team members via Slack. This manual coordination pulls highly skilled researchers away from core scientific work and slows project timelines. The constant context switching and repetitive admin grind create frustration and delay results.
