BioSketch
BioSketch.art is a browser-based figure builder for creating publication-ready scientific and medical illustrations. Users can assemble figures with editable vector icons, arrows, connectors, labels, and shapes on a fast canvas workspace, then export high-resolution graphics for papers, slides, posters, and patient education. The platform supports icon search and organized libraries (including personal uploads), grouping and alignment tools, annotation features, Bezier/freehand drawing, and project-based saving. BioSketch.art is built for open science: core tools and a large icon library are free to use, with optional Pro features for AI-assisted generation (e.g., icon/figure generation) and higher-usage workflows.

FutureHouse
FutureHouse is a nonprofit AI research lab focused on automating scientific discovery in biology and other complex sciences. FutureHouse features superintelligent AI agents designed to assist scientists in accelerating research processes. It is optimized for retrieving and summarizing information from scientific literature, achieving state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks like RAG-QA Arena's science benchmark. It employs an agentic approach, allowing for iterative query expansion, LLM re-ranking, contextual summarization, and document citation traversal to enhance retrieval accuracy. FutureHouse also offers a framework for training language agents on challenging scientific tasks, enabling agents to perform tasks such as protein engineering, literature summarization, and molecular cloning. Their LAB-Bench benchmark evaluates language models on biology research tasks, including information extraction, database retrieval, etc.

Sciscoper
Sciscoper is an AI powered research assistant that is used to streamline and accelerate the literature review process for STEM researchers, academics, and R&D teams. Researchers often deal with hundreds or thousands of scientific papers scattered across different sources, making it difficult to extract meaningful insights efficiently.
Sciscoper solves this by using AI and natural language processing to automatically:
Summarize scientific papers and research findings.
Extract key insights, concepts, and relationships across documents.
Generate literature reviews with citations in multiple reference styles.
Organize and index papers into a structured, searchable knowledge base for easy discovery.
This allows users to focus less on manual reading and note-taking, and more on analyzing results, identifying research gaps, and producing new scientific knowledge.

Illustrae
Illustrae is an AI-powered scientific illustration platform designed to help researchers, educators, and professionals create accurate, publication-ready visuals quickly and easily. Its core feature is the intelligent canvas, an infinite, intuitive workspace equipped with tools like frames, arrows, textboxes, and live embed links. This environment allows users to build complex, multi-panel figures or diagrams without the steep learning curve of traditional design software. Illustrae's standout capability is its custom element generation: users can describe a scientific concept, such as "a neuron firing" or "the cell cycle", and Illustrae's AI will produce a tailored illustration in about a minute. Users can also start from sketches or photos. Editing is streamlined through a prompt bar, enabling modifications via plain language commands.
