Hello, Acteams

Most research teams piece their work together from half a dozen tools: a reference manager here, a shared Drive folder there, a Slack channel for discussion, an R notebook on someone's laptop, and a draft manuscript that lives in everyone's email. Switching between them is friction. The context — which paper you read, which dataset you ran, which figure ended up in the slide deck — leaks out of the tools and into people's heads.

We built Acteams because we thought a research project deserved its own home — one place where the literature, the writing, the data analysis, and the conversations all live next to each other, and where an AI assistant can actually be useful because it can see the whole project.

What's in the workspace

• Literature management. Import papers from BibTeX, RIS, or PDF. Annotate inline. Ask questions across your library and get answers with citations to the source.
• Collaborative writing. Real-time co-editing for prose, LaTeX, and rich text. An AI co-writer that respects your voice.
• R Markdown and Python notebooks. Run analyses against shared datasets, render reports, and keep the whole team on the same data.
• Project-aware AI. One assistant across literature, notes, and documents, grounded in your project's content — not the public web.

Where we are

Acteams is in public beta. It's free for individual researchers while we shape the roadmap with real teams. If that sounds like you, join the beta and tell us what's missing.
