● AI research assistant
Raw data to journal-ready figures, in minutes.
PlotX picks the right chart and statistical test, runs the analysis, and exports a figure formatted for your target journal. No installs, no design skills, no code.
Built for the labs the big tools ignore — agriculture, social & environmental sciences.

Fig. 01 The gap
Three million papers a year. Every one needs figures.
The tools that make them were built for well-funded Western biomedical labs — and price out, or talk past, most researchers everywhere else.
Too expensive
No free tier to start. Group licenses run $500–$1,040 a year — a non-starter for budget-constrained labs.
Too complex
Steep learning curves built for power users. You want one clean chart with error bars this week, not a software course.
Wrong audience
Designed almost entirely around biomedical conventions. Agriculture, social and environmental sciences are an afterthought.
No real alternative
Freelancers are slow and inconsistent. Doing it by hand means Illustrator skills most researchers don't have.
Method How it works
A research assistant in your browser.
From a spreadsheet to a submission-ready figure in four steps you actually control.
AI-guided analysis
Drop in an Excel or CSV file. PlotX recommends the right chart and statistical test, then explains the result in plain language — no statistician required.
Journal formatting
One-click export in the exact layout, fonts, and DPI required by Nature, Elsevier, PLOS ONE, or any HEC-recognized journal.
Manuscript reviewOn the roadmap
Scans the full paper before submission and flags figure quality, statistical gaps, and journal-compliance issues. The long-term moat, built after core figures ship.
Browser-based
Runs on any device and any OS. Nothing to download, nothing to install, nothing to license per machine.
Table 01 Where PlotX fits
Others match one feature. None combine them.
Generic AI gives generic charts. PlotX is tuned to research — discipline-specific formatting, distributed through university networks.

Fig. 03 The opportunity
A proven market, reimagined for who it left out.
GraphPad proved researchers pay for figure tools. We're building it for everyone they left behind.
