Research that keeps watch, and shows its sources1
kikilabo collects the evidence your team cares about, keeps it fresh on a schedule, and answers questions with citations you can open. When something changes, it tells you.
Visitor arrivals rose 14% month on month, and operators attributed most of the weekend uplift to the holiday period.
Your own tracker shows food & beverage tenants up 9%, fashion flat, so the gain was concentrated in dining.
The Sources don't say whether the new competitor opening affected traffic. Treat that as unverified.
One loop, from evidence in to answers out
Most research tools stop at search. kikilabo keeps collecting after you've asked, so the next answer is based on today's evidence.
Point it at your Sources
Add web links and your own PDFs to a Collection, or save a search and let kikilabo find ranked results for you.
- Every page is read, including tables and charts
- Collections belong to your organisation and are reused across Projects
It keeps them fresh
Monitored Collections re-capture on the weekday, time and timezone you choose. Every capture is kept, so you can see what changed.
- History per Source, not just the latest copy
- Re-capture on request when you can't wait
Ask, and get told
Ask questions in Chat for cited answers. Receive a digest of what's new, and set Alerts for the conditions you care about.
- Every claim links to the page it came from
- Gaps are labelled as gaps
Built so you can check the work
An answer you can't verify is one more thing to research. kikilabo shows where every statement came from, down to the page.
Cited answers, both ways
Click a citation to open the exact passage in its Source. Select a passage in a Source to see which answers rely on it. Try the citations in the workspace above.
Alerts you write in plain language
Describe the condition and kikilabo checks new captures against it. When it fires, the Alert carries the evidence that triggered it.
Deliverables from the conversation
Turn a Chat into a document, deck or page your stakeholders can read, with the citations intact.
Calculations you can rerun
Figures are worked out in a sandbox from the data in your Sources, so a number in an answer comes with the method behind it.
A research brief to start from
Describe the question you're trying to answer. kikilabo helps draft the brief, suggests Sources, and sets up the Project.
For teams who have to brief someone tomorrow morning
kikilabo is built for small research and insight teams who watch the same topics every week and answer to people who want the evidence.
Communications teams
Follow coverage of a publication from the moment it goes live, and walk into the briefing knowing which narratives are forming.
Market research
Build a shared knowledge base of market news and your own reports that grows every week instead of being rebuilt every quarter.
Brand and insights
Track competitors and audiences across public sources and internal decks, and hand leadership a cited summary instead of a list of links.
Your organisation, separated
Each organisation's Collections, Projects and data are isolated from every other's.
Private by default
Projects are restricted until you share them, with admin, editor and viewer roles.
Clear about uncertainty
When the Sources don't support a claim, the answer says so instead of guessing.
Usage you can see
Pages and questions are metered against clear limits, visible to your admins.
