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.

FigCanvas
FigCanvas is an AI scientific figure generator for researchers, built to create scientific illustrations, flowcharts, and data visualizations in one place. Users can describe a figure in plain language, paste methodology text, or upload a dataset, then get a first draft in under two minutes. It supports workflows for scientific illustration, data visualization, and flowchart creation, helping researchers generate pathway diagrams, cell biology figures, molecular mechanism figures, lab schematics, bar charts, scatter plots, heatmaps, volcano plots, and other research visuals without design skills or coding knowledge. FigCanvas is built specifically for scientific communication, using research-specific visual training informed by real scientific figures so outputs better match the structure, composition, and style expected in academic work.

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.

Edison Scientific
Edison Scientific is an AI platform designed to automate and accelerate scientific research, enabling users to move from hypothesis to validated results within a single environment. The platform integrates literature synthesis, data analysis, and molecular design workflows, allowing research teams to complete end-to-end scientific investigations at dramatically increased speed. At its core is Kosmos, an autonomous research system that performs hundreds of research tasks in parallel, transforming multimodal datasets into comprehensive reports with validated findings and publication-ready figures. Kosmos synthesizes scientific literature, public databases, and proprietary datasets, identifies novel therapeutic targets, uncovers biological mechanisms, and supports the iterative design and optimization of molecular candidates. Validated in real research settings, Kosmos has demonstrated the ability to achieve results that typically require months of human effort in a single day.
