Axiom / The Research Operating System
Vibe coding changed how developers build software. Axiom will do the same for research.
Code with AI that knows your experiment. Dispatch agents that search the literature for you. Watch a knowledge graph grow with every dataset, result, and paper — automatically.
You bring the hypothesis. Axiom brings everything else.
Work at the speed of thought. Keep the rigor of science.
VibeScience is a new mode of research: express the scientific intent, let an AI-native environment coordinate the tools and evidence, and remain in control of every decision.
It does not trade rigor for speed. Axiom removes the fragmentation around the science so every analysis enriches the graph, every graph connection improves the AI, and every agent result returns as structured evidence.
Three pillars. One compounding advantage.
Each layer is useful on its own. Together, they create an operating system that understands how your science evolves.
WHERE YOU WORK
A science-first editor with experiment context built in.
Python, R, Julia, Jupyter, LaTeX, protocols, and figures live in one familiar environment—built on the open-source core of VS Code.
- Axiom Tab completes methods as naturally as code
- Ask Axiom sees files, errors, and experiment history
- Statistical guardrails surface issues before execution
# Normalize counts and test differential expression
dds = DESeqDataSet(counts, design="~ condition")
dds.fit_dispersion(prior="apeglm")
n=4 per group. Power is estimated at 0.31 for the detected effect size.
WHAT AXIOM KNOWS
Your research history becomes an active reasoning surface.
Hypotheses, experiments, protocols, datasets, results, figures, and papers become connected objects—not isolated files.
- Trace every figure back to raw data and code
- Detect contradictions and repeated failure patterns
- Find hypotheses with missing supporting evidence
PMID 4021 linked as supporting evidence
WHAT AXIOM DOES
Research assistants that work from the experiment itself.
Agents receive structured experiment context, search authoritative sources, and return evidence directly to the graph.
- Dispatch manually, contextually, or on a schedule
- See every source, tool call, and reasoning step
- Keep results as reusable graph nodes and edges
New evidence linked to EXP-024
From hypothesis to evidence, without losing the thread.
- 01DEFINE
State the hypothesis
A falsifiable claim becomes the root of the research graph.
- 02WORK
Analyze in context
Code, notebooks, protocols, and data remain linked as you work.
- 03DISPATCH
Send the agents
Literature, statistics, and replication checks run in parallel.
- 04CAPTURE
Snapshot the evidence
Code, data hashes, environment, protocol, and graph state freeze atomically.
One command. A complete scientific record.
An Experiment Snapshot captures the exact state needed to reproduce an analysis—without asking scientists to become infrastructure engineers.

A specialist for every part of the research cycle.
Agents collaborate with the same experiment context and write their findings back into a shared evidence layer.
Literature Agent
Searches PubMed, bioRxiv, and citation networks; returns ranked evidence with relevance notes.
READING LIST · SYNTHESIS · CITATIONSStatistics Agent
Checks test choice, assumptions, sample size, power, multiple testing, and reporting completeness.
ASSUMPTIONS · POWER · CORRECTIONSReplication Agent
Finds supporting and conflicting studies, retractions, corrections, and independent replications.
CONFIDENCE · CONFLICTS · ALERTSMethods Agent
Compares published alternatives against your protocol and experimental constraints.
METHODS · TRADEOFFS · PROTOCOLSDataset Agent
Finds compatible public datasets, evaluates quality, and prepares them for one-click import.
GEO · SRA · ZENODO · FIGSHAREWriting Agent
Drafts methods, abstracts, and discussions from the graph—with linked evidence and citations.
METHODS · ABSTRACT · DISCUSSIONBuilt for real science. Designed for trust.
Axiom is based on the open-source VS Code core, with science-specific capabilities isolated from the editor foundation. Research data can remain local, inside a customer VPC, or on-premises.
