[01] — The overview
A little context. A bigger picture.
An AI workbench for research teams working across documents, questions and ideas. Aether Labs brings document ingestion, retrieval-augmented search and agent workflows into a single research environment.
Designed for
Research teams & knowledge workers
The core journey
Collect → ask → investigate
[02] — The thinking
The challenge
Make a growing body of research usable.
Research is rarely contained in a single document. The product challenge is helping teams move through a collection of material, ask useful questions and keep the connection between a response and the source information.
The approach
Keep the evidence in the workflow.
The workbench is organised around a connected research loop: bring in documents, search the collection and investigate relevant material. Retrieval and agent interactions sit alongside the source context so the interface supports active research.
[03] — The experience
Thought through. From end to end.
01
Document workspace
An organised home for research material, with document ingestion as the starting point for discovery.
02
RAG-powered search
Natural-language questions connect with relevant material from the document collection.
03
Agent workflows
Repeatable research tasks have a place in the workbench, with the workflow and its context visible to the team.

Behind the interface
Design and engineering considerations.
Visible source context
Relevant documents should remain close to the research question and its response.
Understandable AI states
Processing, retrieval and response states help people understand what the workbench is doing.
A useful feedback loop
Research workflows benefit from clear ways to refine a question and inspect a result.
[ The product ambition ]
Bring the research question and the source material closer together.
The aim is an AI workspace that helps researchers navigate their knowledge and continue investigating with context.
