Do your research with Bower

Bower is running a short research program with a small group of PhD researchers to understand how AI can support day-to-day research. Participants use Bower during their normal lab or field work and meet with our team once a week to share what's working and what isn't. Their feedback directly shapes how we build tools for the next generation of scientists.

Currently running · 5-week program · Open to PhD researchers in the US, Australia and New Zealand.

What is Bower

Capture everything. Reproduce anything.

Bower works alongside researchers, capturing scientific work as it happens through voice, images and video. Every observation, decision and experiment becomes structured, searchable organizational knowledge that can be accessed, reused and built upon by the entire team. The result is an organization that preserves expertise, improves reproducibility and becomes more capable with every experiment.
