Research that stays with the project.
Serious work runs on research, and research dies in browser tabs. Auteur gives it a room of its own: gathered material lands in the project's memory, mirrored to Open Notebook, and stays retrievable beside the work it supports.
The manual ships with the studio
Every client receives a comprehensive operations manual for the platform, written to be read two ways: by you, so you understand every capability you own, and by the LLMs you work with, so your models understand the studio they are seated in and use it fully. When your agent knows what the platform can do, you stop leaving capability on the table.
A research repository that builds with you
The studio keeps a canon corpus and an Open Notebook based research repository beside your work: an easily searchable home for everything you gather as you build. Sources, notes, transcripts, references, and findings stay indexed and retrievable, whether you are building code, the next great American novel, the spark of the next golden age of film, or your next plaque from YouTube. Research is not a tab you visit; it is a layer under everything you make.
Open Notebook, integrated
The studio mirrors research into Open Notebook, so your sources, notes, and guides live in an open tool you control, and the project's canon can cite them like everything else.
The in-house guide
An in-house guide describes the studio's own functionality in a form both a person and an LLM can absorb quickly, so a new collaborator, or a newly seated model, understands what the rooms do without a week of spelunking.
“Sweep the week’s model releases, keep what affects our pipeline, and file it with citations in the research library.”
Worldbuilding and idea work
Long-form canon worldbuilding, vibe-code ideation, documentary source work, research here is not a search box, it is accumulation: what you learn becomes part of what the project knows.
Current, overnight
The overnight currency sweep that keeps builds pointed at the newest models also feeds research: what moved in your field lands in the project while you sleep, ready to workshop in the morning.
