Theo Collaborator

Research doesn’t happen in a straight line

You change assumptions, refine hypotheses, and revisit earlier decisions.

With today’s AI tools, that means:

Restarting research workflows from scratch
Losing context across tools and iterations
Committing to plans you’re not confident in

Built on Theo, the AI Physicist

Theo Collaborator connects directly to Theo, our domain-specialized AI Physicist for scientific research.

Theo Collaborator can surface gaps or unclear elements while preserving context across iterations. The result is a coherent research environment, where structured workflows and domain-specialized models work together to support scientific discovery.

think, structure, and iterate on research.

Most AI tools help you write or search, Theo Collaborator helps you

Theo Collaborator: A new way to work with research

Plan, execute, and revise research, without starting over

Structure research before you execute it

Build clear, complete research plans with guided validation (including questions, assumptions, methods, evaluation).

QUESTIONS

What are we trying to find out?

ASSUMPTIONS

What are our known knowns?

METHODS

How will we gather evidence?

EVALUATION

How do we measure results?

Steer research as it unfolds

Intervene at any step - adjust variables, assumptions, or methods throughout your research.

Re-run only what matters

Modify part of your research workflow without restarting everything.

See how results were produced

Inspect each stage of reasoning and execution, not just the final output.

STEP 1

loaded 3 sources; filtered by date 2018-2024

STEP 2

extracted 14 candidate claims

STEP 3

applied assumption

STEP 4

synthesized hypothesis

Catch gaps early

Surface missing assumptions, unclear metrics, or weak methodology before spending any time or compute resources.

MISSING ASSUMPTION

vacuum conditions unspecified - air resistance may invalidate projectile model

WEAK METHODOLOGY

single trial per variable - insufficient replication to isolate systematic errors

UNCLEAR METRIC

energy loss undefined - please specify

READY TO RUN

all critical fields validated
