About Research Companion

Research Companion is an AI-powered research operating system that guides you through every stage of the research lifecycle — from study design and literature review to statistical analysis and manuscript preparation. Whether you are formulating a research question, selecting an appropriate methodology, cleaning and analyzing data, or drafting a publication-ready manuscript, Research Companion provides intelligent, step-by-step assistance tailored to your field and expertise level.

The platform is built for researchers at every level: undergraduate and postgraduate students learning the research process, doctoral candidates managing complex studies, academic researchers and lecturers producing publications, clinical and medical researchers conducting rigorous trials, and professionals in NGOs, government, and the private sector who need evidence-based outputs. Tools include an AI research advisor, literature workspace with citation management, statistical analysis recommendations with APA reporting, a writing studio with traceable citations, publishability reviews, ethics application drafting, survey building, reviewer response drafting, and presentation creation — all within a single, connected workspace.

Research Companion is built on the Base44 platform, which provides the secure cloud infrastructure, authentication, and AI integration capabilities that power the application. Your data is private and isolated — each researcher can only access their own projects, files, and outputs.
