Multi-agent virtual lab for scientific discussion, critique, and consensus building.
This page explains what VirtualLab is, who should use it, and why it may be the right agent for your workflow.
VirtualLab is a multi-agent research system that simulates an interdisciplinary scientific team, with AI agents playing different research roles and a human guiding the overall direction. Instead of only answering isolated questions, it is designed for open-ended research workflows that involve brainstorming, critique, planning, and iteration across methods. The goal is to help scientists access a broader range of expertise and accelerate complex discovery projects.
