What it solves

K-Dense BYOK provides a dedicated AI research assistant, Kady, designed to automate complex scientific workflows. It bridges the gap between raw research data and actionable results by handling tasks like data analysis, literature review, and figure generation without requiring the user to have coding expertise.

How it works

Kady operates as a local research workspace on your computer, using your own API keys or local models (via Ollama) to maintain data privacy. You describe tasks in plain language, and Kady writes and executes the necessary code, manages files, and maintains a "living lab notebook" that logs its reasoning and actions. It features a provenance system that tracks which steps and data produced specific results, ensuring that all research outputs are traceable and reproducible.

Who it’s for

This tool is designed for scientists and researchers across disciplines—such as bioinformatics, chemistry, and clinical research—who need an AI assistant that can handle specialized scientific data, perform rigorous analysis, and maintain a verifiable record of their work.

Highlights

• Reproducible Research: Automatically generates a lab notebook and tracks file provenance to ensure every result can be audited.
• Broad Scientific Support: Includes 177 built-in scientific skills and 326 workflow templates covering various research disciplines.
• Flexible Model Integration: Supports a wide range of providers, including OpenRouter, direct API keys, and local models via Ollama for full data locality.
• Advanced Verification: Features "prove-verify" rounds and optional watchdog reviewers to stress-test findings and minimize AI hallucinations.
• Scientific File Handling: Previews over 60 scientific file formats, including 3D protein structures, sequence alignments, and DICOM images.
