A letter from the CEO

Dear Scientists,

I've been in your shoes. I know how much of a scientist's day is spent on the work around discovery - searching literature, planning experiments, documenting results, digging through old files.

Shadow AI was born from a simple question: What if we could remove the friction around research and give scientists the support they've always needed?

Together with my co-founder, we set out to build a tool that quietly handles the repetitive parts of research - so scientists can spend more energy on discovery.

Our mission is simple: empower scientists to move faster, work smarter, and bring better outcomes to patients.
