Innovation & R&D
AI apps for innovation & R&D teams
Go from an idea to something people can click — R&D trackers, idea pipelines and prototypes of new services — without waiting for a development slot.
Build an idea portal: employees submit ideas, colleagues vote, and the best move through stages to a pilot.
Crafted in 2 min — every idea gets a path
Done — ideas, votes and a stage-gate pipeline up to the pilot.

What teams build
R&D project time tracking
Time spent per project and per person, with the activities and documents behind it.
Idea pipeline
Collect ideas, score them, and follow the best ones from proposal to pilot.
Prototype of a new client service
A working prototype you can show to clients and iterate on with their feedback.
Why it works for this team
Show, don’t tell
A working prototype gets better feedback than a slide deck.
Iterate by chatting
Change screens, data and rules in the conversation, as feedback comes in.
Keep what works
From the Business plan you own the source code, so a prototype can grow into a product.
Questions
Is a prototype a real app?
Yes. It has its own data, login and a live link you can share.
Can we hand it over to IT later?
Yes. From the Business plan you own the source code of your apps.
Can clients use it?
Yes. Deploy it in one click and share it; from the Business plan apps can be private and use custom domains.
Other use cases
Same people. Bigger possibilities.
