in Constructor's 30-criteria review vs every alternative

Made by researchers, for researchers

Constructor Research is one place to run science: ready-to-use compute and HPC, secure storage, reproducible environments, and collaboration for research teams, in academia and industry. Science-focused AI sits on top, so you can search the literature by idea and method, form evidence-grounded hypotheses, and move to experiments without switching tools. And because Research is part of the Constructor platform, it shares accounts and data with Learn, Assess, Groups, and the rest of your stack. One solution, one context, every scenario.

Accelerate your research with one connected toolset

Everything a research team needs to compute, collaborate, and reason over the literature, without stitching tools together

Constructor Research: On-demand compute & HPC

On-demand compute & HPC

Cloud, HPC, and GPU that are ready to use, with no bash-and-ssh setup and no waiting on IT. Scale up when an experiment needs it, scale down when it doesn't.

Constructor Research: Automation & workflows

Automation & workflows

Ready-to-use templates and customizable workflows take the repetitive setup out of experiments, so runs are consistent and faster to start.

Constructor Research: Reproducibility built in

Reproducibility built in

Share access and pin environments so collaborators get the same result on the same data. Versioning across experiments and generated content keeps work traceable.

Constructor Research: Collaboration and instant sharing

Collaboration & instant sharing

Share data, algorithms, and results with your team and external partners for immediate feedback, with scoped access so collaborators see only what they should.

Constructor Research: Science-focused AI assistant

Science-focused AI assistant

Coming 2026

A Research Assistant that runs quick checks against existing data and computational methods, and helps plan and troubleshoot experiments, tuned for science rather than generic code completion.

Constructor research: Connects your scientific tools

Connects your scientific tools

Coming 2026

Work with the tools you already use, Overleaf, Mathematica, Matlab, GitHub, and reference libraries like Zotero, so Research fits your workflow instead of replacing it.

Constructor Research: MCP integration

MCP integration

Coming 2026

Call research and literature search from MCP-compatible tools (Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or your own agents), so discovery becomes part of daily work instead of a separate step.

Constructor Research: Security & data control

Security & data control

Access controls and encryption protect sensitive work. For IP-concerned teams, local indexing and text generation can run inside your own cluster.

How it works

From a question to a defensible result, on one platform

1. Spin up your environment

Compute, HPC, and GPU ready in the cloud, no manual server or software setup.

2. Bring your data and papers

Connect datasets, code, and reference libraries. Index your own papers alongside the built-in corpus.

3. Explore and form hypotheses

Search the literature by method and claim with Hypothesis, then draft evidence-grounded hypotheses.

4. Run experiments

Use templates and workflows on scalable compute, with a science-focused AI assistant to help.

5. Collaborate reproducibly

Share access, results, and pinned environments so teammates reproduce the same outcome.

6. Validate and publish

Get validation plans, track versions, and export traceable artifacts for review and publication.

Meet Constructor Hypothesis

See across a field from a single question. Hypothesis turns papers, code, datasets, and results into a navigable knowledge graph of claims, methods, and evidence, so you move from a question to the most relevant work, the hidden connections, and the unresolved gaps, in one flow.

Bring your own papers
Index your library into the same graph as the built-in corpus and see connections across both.

Fill knowledge gaps
Surface open questions, thin evidence, and contradictions to ground new hypotheses.

Validate ideas and get plans
Pressure-test a hypothesis and get a validation plan with datasets, baselines, and metrics.

Works inside your agents
Reach indexed collections from MCP-compatible tools like Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT.
