The AI-native lab notebook that manages your data too
CollabHub combines an electronic lab notebook with research data management for solo PIs, independent scientists, and small labs — with painless import, open export, and free sharing with attribution.
AI-native electronic lab notebook
Your entries, protocols, experiments, and observations — structured, versioned, and searchable.
Versioned notebook entries
Write entries with full version history: review any prior version, compare lineage, and roll back safely. Nothing is ever silently overwritten.
Protocols & templates
Author reusable protocols and start entries from templates, so methods stay consistent across every study in your lab.
Experiments & observations
Plan experiments, record observations against them, and keep the full hypothesis-to-result trail in one place.
Your entries leave with you
Notebook entries are versioned records you can always take with you: a complete account archive export — notebooks included — is available from your privacy settings on every tier, free.
Research data management
Datasets as first-class records: versioned, previewable, quality-checked, and always exportable.
Dataset versions & lineage
Every upload creates a version. Trace where a dataset came from and how it changed — the lineage stays attached to the data.
Open export in 4 formats
Export any tabular dataset as CSV, TSV, JSON, or XLSX at any time; other datasets keep their original file, ready to download. Export is free on every tier, forever — that's our open-export guarantee.
Preview & quality checks
Preview rows before you commit, with quality checks and per-workspace storage quotas that are enforced honestly, not silently.
Files alongside data
Keep instrument output, images, and documents next to the datasets they belong to — organized, previewable, and virus-scanned.
Painless import
Bring your existing work with you — no retyping, no lock-in on the way in either.
CSV import
Import structured records from CSV with a dry-run preview: see exactly what will be created before anything is written.
Benchling import
Migrate notebooks and data from Benchling. The preview shows every record and every skip up front — nothing is dropped silently.
AI research agents
Delegate the busywork to agents that work inside your workspace context.
Smart agents
Fast agents for summarization, extraction, and routine analysis — available on every tier with a clear daily allowance.
Flagship agents
Deeper literature review, analysis, and synthesis runs on the most capable models, grounded in your own notebooks and datasets.
Semantic search
Ask questions across your notebooks, datasets, protocols, and files with AI-powered semantic search.
Workspaces & collaboration
Built for solo PIs and small labs — with real roles, not an honor system.
Workspaces & organizations
Organize work into workspaces under your lab's organization, with per-workspace storage and membership.
Role-based access
Owner, Editor, Commenter, and Viewer roles at the workspace level — and Owner/Admin/Member at the organization level — enforced on every API, not just hidden in the UI.
Free sharing with attribution
Share protocols and datasets with other researchers at no cost. Attribution is required and automatic — credit follows the work.
Timestamped attribution
Provenance you can point to.
Attribution records
When your work is shared and reused, a timestamped attribution record is created — who, what, and when, kept with the item.
Version history as evidence
Because entries and datasets are versioned with timestamps, you can always show what existed and when.
Compliance & data stewardship
NIH/GDPR-ready data management, built in from the start.
Audit logs
Organization-level audit trails record who did what and when, ready for reviews and data-management plans.
GDPR tooling
Self-serve data export and account deletion, plus DSAR and RoPA registers for organizations that need them.
Data regions
Organizations are pinned to a data region (US or EU), and files are stored and served from that region.
Your data stays yours
Everything you put into CollabHub can leave with you — every format, every tier, forever, free. Read about our security and open-export guarantee.
