A continuously-updated “brain” spanning MIT research papers, books, projects, research surveys, news, talks, startups, and people — and the AI tools that turn it into outreach, smart matches to researchers and startups, briefing packages, and more.
Knowledge Objects are the nodes; synapses are the connections between them — shared authors, co-presented talks, related topics. They grow super-linearly with the data, and they're what the AI reasons over. Today: tens of thousands. The roadmap: millions.
Turns the MIT event calendar into tailored, member-ready outreach emails.
Scans research, news & talks for what's relevant to each member company — with the reasoning.
Primes both sides before a meeting with a company- or topic-specific briefing drawn from the Brain.
Turns a meeting transcript or email chain into a summary, action items, a game plan, and a ready-to-log Salesforce interaction.
Captures follow-ups and next steps — including the action items Coach pulls from your meetings — so nothing slips.
Matches member interests to the right MIT people and startups — and surfaces the relevant papers, books, projects, and research along the way.
Our most ambitious tool yet is taking shape — a new way to put the whole Brain to work for you. The reveal is coming.
Papers, books, research projects and surveys, MIT News, media coverage, talks, startups, events, and people are pulled in on a schedule, normalized into one shape, and de-duplicated.
Name variants are reconciled to one person, so a researcher's papers, talks, and mentions land together even when bylines read "Andrew W. Lo", "Andy Lo", or "Professor Lo".
Connections are counted to survive scrutiny: co-authorship excludes news-desk and organizational bylines, and generic topics are capped so a single shared keyword cannot inflate the graph.
The tools cite what they draw on and are built not to fabricate. Each statement traces back to an object in the Brain rather than to the model's memory.
Updated continuously. Last refresh —. Counted now: — co-authorship, — co-presented-talk, and — shared-topic links.
This is a live slice of the MIT Brain — a knowledge graph of what MIT publishes. Every dot is a Knowledge Object: MIT researchers, research topics, and departments & labs.
The lines are synapses — real connections drawn from the data: who co-authored with whom, who works on which topic, who belongs where. Hover any node to light up everything it touches.
And this is just ~150 nodes of tens of thousands. The synapses are the whole point: they are what the AI reasons over to match a company to the right researcher, draft outreach, or assemble a briefing in seconds. More data means super-linearly more connections — a Brain that keeps getting smarter.
