Turn your research question into a ready-to-run experiment

Shadow AI helps scientists go from idea to bench-ready experiment design in minutes. It is an AI experiment architect for biopharma scientists: it turns a research question, in plain language, into a complete experiment design — hypotheses, design of experiments (DOE), controls, materials list, and statistical plan.

Who is Shadow AI for?

Shadow AI is built for scientists in formulation science, drug discovery, analytical chemistry, protein science, and bioprocess development — from individual researchers and postdocs to lab leads running multiple experiments simultaneously. If you plan experiments by hand today, Shadow AI replaces about ten hours of planning per experiment with a few minutes of structured review.

What Shadow AI does

You describe a research problem in plain language. Shadow AI generates structured hypotheses with scientific rationale, then produces a full experiment plan: conditions table, replicates, materials with quantities, a statistical plan, and a bench-ready protocol. You review, iterate through chat, and walk into the lab with a design that's ready to run.

Hypothesis generationStructured, ranked, cited — with scientific rationale you can audit.
Design of Experiments (DOE)Conditions, replicates, and controls laid out so the design holds up to scrutiny.
Materials listReagents, equipment, and quantities — bench-ready, not generic.
Statistical planPower, sample size, analysis approach — chosen for the experiment, not pasted in.
Chat-based iterationRefine any part of the design through conversation. Same experiment, no extra cost.
Knowledge managementDesigns persist across sessions. Version history. Collaborator sharing.

Pricing

Shadow AI has three plans. Explorer is free forever and includes 5 experiments per month — no credit card. Researcher is $19/month (or $15/month billed annually) for 30 experiments per month. Principal is $39/month (or $32/month billed annually) for unlimited experiments. Verified students and postdocs get 50% off the Researcher plan at $9.50/month. See the pricing page for the full comparison.

Is my research data used to train Shadow AI?

No. Your data is never used to train Shadow AI's models. What you input stays yours. Shadow AI does not share your research with third parties, and you retain full control to export or delete your data at any time. The platform is built to meet institutional research security standards.
