Intology

Intology is a research lab studying intelligence with the mission of fundamentally rethinking the way scientific progress is made.

Artificial Scientists

In March, we debuted Zochi, the world's first Artificial Scientist—an autonomous AI system that successfully published peer-reviewed papers at multiple ICLR 2025 workshops across diverse domains with glowing reviews.

In May, Zochi’s work was accepted ACL 2025, presenting the first fully AI-generated scientific discovery to pass the highest level of peer review – the main track of an A* conference.

These milestones marked the first time an AI system has independently made novel, state-of-the-art contributions, discovering new knowledge recognized by the scientific community.

Zochi represents a new class of AI system explicitly designed for discovery, which we refer to as Artificial Scientists.

As a continuation of our research program, we previewed Locus, our Artificial Scientist that outperforms human experts at AI R&D.

Advancing the Scientific Method

The scientific method stands as humanity's greatest achievement. In five centuries, it transformed us from medieval societies to space-faring civilizations with instant global communication.

Through systematic hypothesis testing and experimental validation, we built a reliable framework for knowledge creation. Every major technological breakthrough—from vaccines to semiconductors to the internet—emerged from this process.

Yet science remains profoundly limited by human constraints. Meaningful scientific contributions can take months, even years to come to fruition. Even brilliant researchers can only read a fraction of the literature or pursue a handful of hypotheses at time. This means it is costly to take risks where one unsuccessful idea can mean months of wasted time. These bottlenecks—cognitive, temporal, and physical—fundamentally restrict the pace of scientific progress.

Automating this process is not just making it faster—it is fundamentally evolving how scientific discovery happens. This is our goal at Intology.

Work With Us

At Intology, we're building Artificial Scientists because we believe they represent the ultimate application of artificial intelligence. By accelerating the pace of discovery across all fields, we can help address humanity's greatest challenges.
