About

Start your own research, or join someone else's

Arche is an open substrate for science. Start research of your own, discover and read work from others, and collaborate on it. AI tools are built in along the way, and Arche only uses private models supplied by Venice AI.

Arche Vision

Private Venice AI models follow your experiment through the camera. They document each step as it happens and answer questions in a chat beside the feed. Use any regular camera, up to four streams. Footage can stay private and on your own device.

Open science

Browse labs, search across Arche, and ask the Arche assistant when you need a hand finding something.

      Labs

      Create labs for your research interests

      • Upload artifacts

        Papers, data, code, images, and notes, kept with the lab.

      • Launch experiments

        Track them by hand or run them live with Arche Vision.

      • Invite collaborators

        Add people by email and work from the same lab.

      Privacy built in

      Set a lab public or private, and do the same for each experiment and artifact in it. Arche only uses private AI models supplied by Venice AI.

      Experiments

      Track experiments by hand or with cameras

      Shear flow and biofilm thickness

      Log each step of an experiment as an update: a hypothesis, the setup, observations, data, analysis, and anything that went off plan. Attach artifacts to the update they came from. Each update builds on an earlier one, so the record grows into a graph you can replay.

      Literature

      Ask the literature a question

      Literature lookup searches open papers on OpenAlex and arXiv, reads them, and writes a report with citations. Then ask follow-up questions about the report in chat. It runs on private models supplied by Venice AI.

        Concepts and ideas

        Discuss research questions in the open

        Post a concept or an idea of your own. Others can comment, ask questions, or challenge it, and you can debate or just follow along. The discourse graph shows who added what and how the idea changed.
