Lumen

Tu panel de investigación

Tu doctorado, en un lugar tranquilo.

Hitos, estudios, literatura, trabajo de campo y comunicación con los mentores – organizados por un asistente que propone y nunca decide. Creado por un doctorando que necesitaba que existiera.

La demo es el espacio de trabajo de una investigadora ficticia – explora con libertad, nada de lo que hagas se guarda.

Lumen AI Intake turning pasted notes into proposed tasks

Captura lo que sea con AI Intake

Pega notas de reunión, un programa de curso, la foto de una pizarra – Lumen propone tareas, fechas, contactos e hitos, y tú apruebas cada uno. Nada se escribe solo sin tu visto bueno.

A mentor briefing auto-drafted from the dashboard data

Informes que se escriben solos

Una actualización de progreso redactada a partir de tus datos reales, pulida con tu propia voz de escritura, con enlaces que llevan a tus mentores al punto exacto del panel.

The Lumen literature map, clustered by topic

Una biblioteca de literatura con cerebro

Fuentes con búsqueda y resúmenes de IA anclados a TU tesis, citas obtenidas vía DOI, una codificación LLM rigurosa con control de validez y una convención de nombres que mantiene los archivos localizables durante años.

Raising a decision request for mentors to weigh in on

Una ventana que tus mentores sí usarán

Acceso de solo lectura para mentores, con comentarios y solicitudes de decisión. La relación con el director de tesis está entre los predictores más fuertes de quién termina – Lumen hace que mantenerla cueste muy poco.

The Lumen overview with attention items and a streak

Funciona en el tren

Una app instalable de verdad: arranque instantáneo, lectura sin conexión, marca tareas y añade notas sin señal – todo se sincroniza cuando vuelves.

Fieldwork contacts, dyads and observations

El trabajo de campo, observado

Pipeline de contactos, díadas de entrevista y observaciones de eventos con fotos – el lado empírico del doctorado, organizado junto a la escritura.

Why not a Notion template, a Trello board or a generic tracker?

It reads your inbox so you don't re-type it

Supervisor emails and calendar events flow in automatically and become reviewable proposals. Trackers wait for you to fill them in – Lumen meets the work where it already happens.

Judge it in one click

The demo is a real, fully loaded workspace. No signup, no »book a call«, no empty dashboard you have to imagine your way around.

Built around the supervisor relationship

Mentor briefings, decision requests and a read-only mentor view are first-class features – not a sharing permission bolted onto a to-do app.

Calm by design

No engagement bait, no clutter. One quiet surface for a four-year project – installable on your phone, working offline, in nine languages.

Detailed comparisons: vs a Notion template · vs Trello · vs PhD trackers

Everything it does, in one page

Twenty-odd features, grouped the same way the app is – so you can see the whole shape of it before you decide whether to open the demo.

Running a doctoral programme?

Doctorates rarely fail loudly – they go quiet, and the quiet is only obvious a year late. When the work lives somewhere structured, a stall becomes visible while it is still cheap to fix, and supervision gets cheaper to give. Candidates keep their workspaces; the programme sees progress, never anyone's unfinished drafts.

Lumen for doctoral programmes
Before general launch

Bringing a whole cohort?

Lumen is working with its first doctoral programmes ahead of general launch. Cohort arrangements are put together per programme rather than sold off a price list – tell us the cohort and we will come back with something concrete.

Lumen for doctoral programmes

Por qué importa la ventana del mentor: una metasíntesis de 118 estudios sitúa la relación con el director de tesis en el centro de quién termina un doctorado (Bair & Haworth 2004), y los estudiantes que interactúan con más frecuencia con sus directores reportan mejor progreso (Ives & Rowley 2005). Lumen convierte esa relación en una superficie viva en lugar de una tarea más de informes de estado.

Questions, answered

Can I try it before committing?

Yes – the live demo is open to everyone, no account needed. It's a fictional researcher's fully loaded workspace, so you see the real product, not screenshots.

How does my supervisor join?

Mentors get a personal access code – no signup form, no password to invent. They see a read-only view with comments and decision requests.

Does the AI change my data on its own?

Never. Every AI suggestion – from an email, a note or a photo – is a proposal you approve, edit or dismiss. Nothing is written without your explicit yes.

Where does my data live?

In the EU (Frankfurt), isolated per workspace. Your research is never used to train anyone's models.

Does it work offline?

Yes. Lumen installs as a real app, opens instantly and lets you read everything and tick tasks with no signal – changes sync when you're back online.
