Your knowledge, guided by the Universe, for more productive R&D
The Universe captures findings from any source, structures them so your team improves decision-making, analyses technical specifications and performance metrics, and helps you reuse existing work instead of starting from scratch.
How the Universe works
R&D teams at 400+ companies use the Universe to build on existing knowledge instead of starting from scratch.
Here's a taste of what the Universe can do for you:
Research, capture & organize
Create your digital research hub in seconds. The Universe plugin instantly captures web pages, scientific papers, and patents with a single click. No more scattered notes or lost references - every highlight, image, and insight is easily organized and searchable.
Step 1/4
AI-powered analysis
IGOR^AI builds on your research capabilities. Our specialized AI reads through complex technical documents, extracts key parameters, and helps you spot connections you might have missed. Turn information overload into insights that matter.
Step 2/4
Team collaboration & decision making
Build individual findings into team knowledge. Share discoveries instantly, collaborate on evaluations, and make decisions with confidence with rating and commenting features. Break down silos while maintaining structure.
Step 3/4
Executive summaries & reporting
Generate reports in minutes, not hours. Turn your research into clear & structured summaries with one click. Perfect for status updates, team meetings, and stakeholder communications.
Step 4/4
Frequently asked questions
The Universe eliminates the time R&D professionals typically spend hunting for information, processing literature, and documenting findings. Teams capture insights from any source with one click, generate comprehensive reports automatically, and build on existing research instead of starting from scratch. This means more time advancing innovation and less time on administrative research tasks.
The Universe includes four core capabilities: Capture insights from any webpage or document with our browser plugin, Structure findings to reveal connections between projects, Report AI-generated summaries with full source references, and Reuse existing knowledge through intelligent search and recommendation. All powered by IGOR^AI and designed for team collaboration.
The Universe works alongside your current tools rather than replacing them. Our browser plugin captures insights during normal web research, findings can be imported from existing documents, and reports export to standard formats. Teams typically start by capturing insights from ongoing projects, then gradually build their knowledge base without disrupting established processes.
Work smarter with the Jobs-to-be-Done method in R&D projects
Eight years and 3000+ projects taught us that early-stage R&D succeeds when teams see the complete solution landscape before committing resources. The Universe embeds this hard-won methodology into software, giving R&D teams a research assistant that makes breakthrough innovation a predictable outcome rather than a lucky accident.
Your knowledge drives the process
R&D teams know their challenges best. The Universe starts with your expertise and context, then applies our functional search methodology to expand your view of what's possible. This ensures every exploration builds on your domain knowledge while revealing solutions you might never have considered.
Experience guides the workflow
3000+ projects revealed the patterns that separate successful R&D from failed attempts. The Universe structures your research workflow around these proven insights, helping teams avoid common pitfalls and focus effort where breakthrough discoveries actually happen.
AI accelerates systematic discovery
IGOR^AI processes vast amounts of scientific literature and patents through our Jobs-to-be-Done framework, finding solutions based on function rather than outcomes. This systematic approach means teams discover comprehensive solution landscapes in days, not months, making thorough exploration practical for every project.
