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 earlier version, compare versions and restore one safely. Nothing is ever silently overwritten.
- Protocols and templates
- Write reusable protocols and start entries from templates, so methods stay consistent across every study in your lab.
- Experiments and observations
- Plan experiments, record observations against them, and keep the full trail from hypothesis to result in one place.
- Your entries leave with you
- Notebook entries are versioned records you can always take with you. A complete account archive, notebooks included, is available from your privacy settings on every tier, free.
Research data management
Datasets are first-class records: versioned, previewable, quality-checked and always exportable.
- Dataset versions and 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 and quality checks
- Preview rows before you commit, with quality checks and per-workspace storage quotas that are enforced openly, never silently.
- Files alongside data
- Keep instrument output, images and documents next to the datasets they belong to: organized, previewable and scanned for viruses.
Painless import
Bring your existing work with you. No retyping, and 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
- Move notebooks and data from Benchling. The preview shows every record and every skipped item up front, so nothing is dropped silently.
AI research agents
Hand routine work to agents that run inside your workspace, on your own records.
- Smart agents
- Quick runs for summaries, extraction and routine analysis. Every plan includes a daily allowance of smart agent runs.
- Flagship agents
- Longer runs for literature review, analysis and synthesis on the most capable models, grounded in your own notebooks and datasets. Pro, Team and Enterprise plans include a daily allowance.
- Semantic search
- Ask questions across your notebooks, datasets, protocols and files, and find records by meaning as well as by keyword.
Workspaces and collaboration
Built for solo PIs and small labs, with real roles rather than an honor system.
- Workspaces and organizations
- Organize work into workspaces under your lab's organization, each with its own storage and members.
- Role-based access
- Owner, Editor, Commenter and Viewer roles in each workspace, and Owner, Admin and Member in the organization. Roles are enforced on every API request, not just hidden in the interface.
- Free sharing with attribution
- Share protocols and datasets with other researchers at no cost. Attribution is required and automatic, so 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
- Entries and datasets are versioned with timestamps, so you can always show what existed and when.
Compliance and 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 location
- Your data is stored at rest in the European Union.
Your data stays yours
Everything you put into CollabHub can leave with you: every format, every tier, forever, free. Read about security and the open-export guarantee.
