You already have a corpus.
You just can't ask it anything.
Every study you finish adds to a body of evidence that exists only as files. Umwelt turns it into something questionable, citable and connected — while leaving the analysis decisions where they belong.
You are the index
You know there was a quote about this. You remember roughly which study. Finding it means opening three transcripts and scrubbing, and you only do it when someone important asks.
Ask the corpus instead of searching it
Put the question in plain language across every study you have access to. The answer comes back with citations that open onto the actual quote, participant and timestamp.
Synthesis eats the week
The reading, the highlighting, the affinity-mapping — none of it is the part of the job you are good at, and all of it has to happen before the part you are good at can start.
Start from a structured draft, not a blank wall
Umwelt lifts the atoms and proposes the insights; you sit in Triage and accept, edit or reject with the evidence right there. You are editing, not transcribing.
Your old work is inert
Last year's studies are a folder of decks. They cannot contribute to this quarter's question, so effectively they stopped existing the day the readout ended.
Old studies keep participating
Themes span studies. A pattern you saw once in March and once in September shows up as one theme with both cohorts behind it, whether or not you remembered the connection.
Findings are hard to defend
A stakeholder pushes back on a recommendation and you are reaching for a transcript you have not opened since fieldwork.
The evidence chain is already assembled
Every claim in a report carries its sources. Open the citation in the room and land on the sentence a participant said and the moment they said it.
The analysis stays yours
The fear about AI in research isn't that it's slow. It's that it launders a guess into a finding and nobody can tell which is which. Umwelt is built so you can always tell.
- Model output enters as a proposal, in a queue, awaiting you
- Rewrite, re-scope or reject any insight — yours becomes the record
- Every claim keeps the atoms it came from, permanently
- Your data is never used to train anyone's model
- Re-running analysis soft-deletes; 30 days to change your mind
- Export everything — HTML, Markdown, PDF, slides
One account, separate worlds
Project-scoped access
Studies live inside projects, and access is scoped per project. Client A's corpus and Client B's corpus never see each other, and a shared answer can only ever draw on the scope you are working in.
Evidence that travels
Copy a finding out of Umwelt and it pastes into Slack, Notion or Docs with its quote and attribution intact — so provenance survives the trip into whatever tool the client actually reads.
Your corpus comes with you
When a team forms around you — or a company buys a plan — the work you have already done merges into the shared corpus rather than being re-uploaded. Nothing is stranded on the individual plan.
