Research work is hell. It is very silo'ed, and the workflow is clunky - this is because researchers create their own pipelines with tools (for all things literature search, review, note-taking, writing, editing, data analysis, and so on) that are not designed for researchers.

Simplifine is designed for researchers, by researchers. We supercharge all those research tasks with specialised LLMs so researchers do not need to use dozens of badly integrated tools ever again. We are the only app researchers will need.

### AI-Powered Workspace for Research

Research work is hell. It is very silo'ed, and the workflow is clunky - this is because researchers create their own pipelines with tools (for all things literature search, review, note-taking, writing, editing, data analysis, and so on) that are not designed for researchers. Simplifine is designed for researchers, by researchers. We supercharge all those research tasks with specialised LLMs so researchers do not need to use dozens of badly integrated tools ever again. We are the only app researchers will need.

**TL;DR**
---------

**Fast, Scalable Analysis:** Simplifine’s fine-tuned LLMs orchestrate Agent Graphs for complex data and literature analysis at scale, making it 10x faster—all powered by natural language.

**Tailored for Researchers**: Our solution integrates the entire research workflow, from literature search to note-taking, citation management, and analysis. Focus on your research without the hassle of tools that don’t scale with your data.

**No Programming Needed**: Researchers shouldn’t need to learn new languages or wait for engineers to analyze big datasets. Our fine-tuned LLMs enable experts to conduct large-scale analysis using complex techniques—no programming required.

### **Team**

We’re [Raveen]( [Ali]( and [Ege]( friends from the University of Oxford. Raveen and Ege are Rhodes Scholars, while Ali is a PhD student in Healthcare AI at Oxford. Together, we’ve authored over 30 publications & articles across 10+ fields at top institutions/organizations like the University of Oxford, the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Duke, McKinsey, and the World Health Organization. Having experienced the outdated research processes firsthand, we’re now on a mission to change that with Simplifine!



### **Problem**

As Oxford researchers, PhDs, and Rhodes Scholars, we’ve worked across various fields and institutions. But no matter the context, we’ve consistently faced the same challenge: **_managing a chaotic array of tools and coordinating with multiple people in our research pipeline._**

·      **Complex Citation and Code Conversion:** We spend countless hours managing citations, converting papers into code, and ensuring our data is correctly processed to work with that code before we can even begin analysis.

·      **Time-Consuming Scaling:** Scaling that code to handle larger datasets becomes even more time-consuming, adding to the complexity.

·      **Collaboration Delays:** Large-scale analysis requires collaborating with engineers and data scientists to optimize computationally intensive experiments. This leads to significant delays, as everyone needs to get up to speed and manage tools for data analysis alongside citation management and figure generation.

### **Solution**

[Simplifine]( consolidates every aspect of the research process into **one intuitive platform, supercharged with fine-tuned LLMs and Agent Graphs**. Whether you’re conducting a literature search, managing sources, writing, coding experiments, or generating figures across data warehouses—_Simplifine handles it all with natural language._



Designed specifically for researchers, our platform eliminates the inefficiencies and frustrations of juggling multiple tools. With LLM agents at your side, you can tackle large-scale analysis from the start, moving as quickly as your mind does!
