Research workspace

Read 10,000 papers in a weekend.

Workspace mode indexes your private paper library: lab notebooks, unpublished preprints, conference proceedings, and Zotero exports alongside public literature. Every claim cites a paper, page, and paragraph.

Built for PhD students, postdocs, PIs, and industry labs that need cited synthesis without sending unpublished work into a hosted research silo.

How it works

Zotero export to sentence-cited synthesis.

Leapable keeps the research workflow close to the source library: import the export, index it into a private research vault, ask from Cursor, and verify the exact paper paragraph before the synthesis enters a manuscript or grant.

The review clock

Public tools see the literature. They do not see your lab.

More than 138 million papers are searchable in public research systems. Your lab has 5,000 PDFs, unpublished preprints, and internal notes that those systems do not index by default. You spend weeks on a review, ChatGPT cites papers that do not exist, and useful Elicit or Consensus work still leaves the private library gap open.

60-second research demo

Drop a Zotero export. Ask a mechanism question. Open the paragraph.

The demo uses an AceMap-style paper set plus unpublished lab preprints. Ask what mechanism the latest papers propose, then inspect each cited sentence in the source PDF.

Input

5,000-paper Zotero export, lab preprints, and notes from the last grant cycle.

Ask

What is the latest mechanism proposed for disease resistance?

Evidence

Sentence-cited synthesis with links into the exact paper paragraph.

Transcript pending until the research walkthrough is uploaded.

Capabilities

Four research jobs that need private sources and verifiable claims.

Index any paper

Public, private, and unpublished: paper PDFs, Zotero exports, preprint folders, lab notes, proceedings, and methods appendices.

Sentence-level citation

Every answer carries a paper, page, and paragraph so researchers can verify the sentence before it enters a grant or manuscript.

Cross-library synthesis

Compare your lab's private library with public literature in the same workspace without forcing unpublished work into a public-only tool.

Co-exist with Elicit + Consensus

Use Leapable for private papers, Elicit for systematic-review workflows, and Consensus for yes-or-no evidence checks. Your AI client can use all of them.

Typical tasks

From reading list to cited synthesis without losing the source.

01

Lit review for grant

Drop 5,000 PDFs, ask by research question, receive a sentence-cited synthesis and a review evidence table.

02

Onboarding adjacent field

Load a reading list, group papers by concept, then traverse the field with cited anchors back to each paragraph.

03

Lab knowledge management

Add lab notebook PDFs and paper folders, then ask what a colleague found about a topic in 2023 with source links preserved.

Pricing checked May 27, 2026 from official Elicit pricing and Consensus subscription pages. OpenScholar is referenced as an open-source research system rather than a paid SaaS plan.

Offer

Pricing for personal libraries and lab-scale work.

All tiers include 191 MCP tools, 10 MCP client configurations, sentence-level citations, no training on your work, and portable local backup.

Trust

Trust and FAQ.

Will my unpublished work train someone else's model?

No. Leapable does not train on your private paper library, lab notes, unpublished preprints, or grant drafts.

Can I share with my collaborators?

Today the workspace is per-machine. Workspace sync via a shared file store is Phase 2 work; for now, use portable vault backup for lab storage and handoff.

How does it handle TeX or BibTeX files?

PDF, Markdown, and plain text are supported today. Native TeX and BibTeX parsing is roadmap work.

What about Zotero export?

Use Zotero-exported PDFs or supported text, CSV, and Markdown metadata today. Native BibTeX, RIS, and CSL JSON import is not shipped yet.

Can I use Elicit, Consensus, and Leapable together?

Yes. Use Leapable for private papers and lab notes, Elicit for systematic-review workflows, and Consensus for yes-or-no evidence checks.

Start with one review and keep every claim tied to a sentence.

Install Leapable, connect your AI client, and turn a private reading list into cited synthesis before the next grant deadline.
