Meeting Notes for Researchers.
Open a journal article in one tile, your notes in another, and AI chat to help you synthesize findings. Melo's spatial layout lets you visually map relationships between papers. All data stays local — your unpublished research never touches a cloud server.
The researchers problem
Researchers juggle papers, citations, and literature review — often across five or more apps. Every tool switch costs 15-25 minutes of regained focus. When your meeting notes is scattered across apps, you lose context, miss connections, and spend more time managing tools than doing real work.
Traditional meeting notes tools weren't designed for researchers. They either force you into rigid structures that don't match your workflow, or they're too simple to handle the complexity of papers, citations, and literature review.
How Melo helps researchers
Melo gives researchers a spatial canvas designed for meeting notes. Instead of bouncing between apps, you tile everything on one board — notes, web references, AI chat, tasks, and calendar. Your meeting notes becomes a visual workspace that matches how you actually think about papers, citations, and literature review.
The AI sees your entire workspace, so it can help with papers, citations, and literature reviewwith full context. Ask it to summarize your work, draft communications, brainstorm ideas, or organize your board — and it responds with answers grounded in what you're actually working on.
Pain points Melo solves
Dozens of browser tabs open with journal articles and no way to organize them
Literature review notes disconnected from the papers they reference
AI tools that summarize without understanding your research context
Collaborative tools that put sensitive unpublished research on someone else's server
Researchers workflow in Melo
Open Melo and create a board for your primary papers. Tile your key documents, a task list, relevant web pages, and an AI chat. As you work, the spatial layout keeps everything visible — no hidden tabs, no lost context.
When you need to switch contexts, switch boards. Each board preserves your tiling arrangement exactly as you left it. AI carries context across your workspace, so it can help you connect ideas between different areas of your work.
The result: less time managing tools, more time doing the work that matters. Your meeting notes setup becomes a spatial extension of how you think — fast, visual, and always available.
