Two specialists that help research teams stay on course.
Built for a life-sciences research consultancy, Apollo brings two AI agents into the team’s own workspace. One supports project management. The other, an epidemiologist, supports study methods. Both prepare work for the scientists who make the decisions.
Project manager
Keeps plans, timelines and decisions organised and visible.
Epidemiologist
Drafts study methods and reviews them for sources of bias.
Project management
Engagements kept organised, from kick-off to delivery
Apollo’s project manager sets up each project in the firm’s own way of working, watches for anything falling behind, and brings it to the right person’s attention.
Set-up
Design
Execution
Delivery
- What has happened
- The analysis plan is a week behind the agreed timeline.
- Why it matters
- Two later tasks depend on it.
- What I have done
- Updated the timeline and noted the dependency.
- What I need
- A decision on whether to move the delivery date.
Study methods
Study methods, drafted and then reviewed
Apollo’s epidemiologist prepares methods work on the firm’s templates. A separate review step then examines the draft before a senior scientist takes it forward.

Where a brief does not give enough to go on, Apollo says so and leaves the item open. An honest gap is more useful to a scientist than a confident guess.
A visible process
A way of working your team can see and shape
Each agent follows a process the team can open, read and edit. When the firm refines how it works, the agents follow, and every change is kept in a version history.
Working together
The agents prepare. The scientists decide.
Apollo takes care of
- Project boards, timelines and meeting notes
- Checks against the firm’s own standards
- Study specifications and protocol drafts
- A structured review, with a written result
The team looks after
- Every word that goes to a client
- Scientific interpretation and sign-off
- Decisions the agents bring forward
- Teaching the agents how the firm works
Designed with care
Assistants to the experts
People speak to clients
The agents draft, check and flag. Anything that leaves the firm is reviewed and sent by a person.
Read-only where it should be
The agents can read the firm’s boards and channels to stay informed, and cannot change them.
Careful with data
Methods work uses aggregated, de-identified or synthetic data only.
A reviewer for every draft
The step that writes a draft is never the step that approves it.
Built within your systems
Apollo is deployed in your organisation’s own cloud and follows your own standards, templates and project boards.
