Oko Labs
Turning a research archive into a question you can ask.
01Introduction
Oko Labs is a concept research assistant for a lab with twenty years of papers, protocols and lab notes.
02The challenge
The challenge
Knowledge was scattered across PDFs, wikis and inboxes. New researchers spent weeks finding protocols that already existed.
03Creative direction
The idea in one move.
Answers appear as a constellation of sources rather than a single confident paragraph. Every claim links back to the document it came from.

04Design exploration
Studies before decisions.
We compared chat, search and map interfaces. A hybrid won: ask in plain language, then explore the source network around the answer.
05Development and implementation
Built to the same standard as it looks.
Retrieval pipeline over the archive, an evaluation set written with the scientists, and an interface that shows confidence and provenance on every answer.
