Key Impact

🎯 Won 3rd place at Neo Hackathon. Testing market with Bio researchers for idea board organization.

Overview

Rabbithole is an innovative research organization platform designed to solve the problem of context management during deep research dives and ideation sessions. The platform uses a tree-based approach to organize ideas, ensuring that only relevant ideas are included in context windows, and employs semantic clustering algorithms to automatically group related concepts, helping researchers make meaningful connections during their exploration.

The Challenge

Researchers and ideators struggle with managing context during deep dives, often losing track of important connections or including irrelevant information in their context windows. Traditional note-taking and organization tools don't handle the complex, interconnected nature of research ideas effectively. The challenge was to create a system that maintains context relevance while helping users discover meaningful connections between ideas.

The Solution

Developed a tree-based research organization platform where ideas are structured hierarchically, allowing users to control which branches of their research are included in context windows. The system uses semantic clustering algorithms to automatically group related ideas, helping researchers discover connections they might have missed. This approach ensures efficient context management while facilitating serendipitous discovery of relationships between concepts.
