Create your account

1

Sign up

Go to app.bowerlabs.ai and create your account with email or Google sign-in. Bower sends a verification email to the address you used — you can keep going while it’s unverified, but verifying lets us route account-recovery emails and invites correctly.
2

Name your first workspace

Onboarding asks for a workspace name — typically your lab, project, or research group. The workspace is created in the same step, with you as Owner. Need a second workspace later? Email hello@bowerlabs.ai — see Workspaces in Bower.
3

Invite your team (optional)

Open Settings → Members → Invite member, choose Guest (free, read-only) or Paid member, and Bower hands you a unique link. Copy it and share it however you like — Bower doesn’t email the invitee for you. See Invite team members for the full flow.

​
Capture your first note

Bower turns voice recordings, photos, and files into searchable, editable notes. Try one of these:

Speak it

Open Bower on your phone, tap the capture button, and speak your observation. Bower transcribes it with scientific vocabulary recognition.

Photograph it

Tap the camera icon, point at a notebook page, instrument display, or label. Bower reads the image and extracts the text automatically.

Import it

On desktop, click Import or drag files in. Bower handles images, voice recordings, PDFs, and Word documents — even mixed batches.

Type it

Click New note and start typing. The editor supports rich text, tables, and markdown.

​
Ask Bird

Once you have notes in your workspace, open the Bird panel on the right side of the desktop app and ask a question in plain language:
  • “Summarise my notes from this week”
  • “Find all pH readings above 8.0”
  • “Help me plan an experiment to test salinity tolerance — what methods have we used before, and what does the latest literature suggest?”
Bird searches across everything in your workspace and gives you a synthesised answer with sources.
