3

ChatGPT

Analyze patterns and anomalies

Export Airtable data to ChatGPT via API or manual upload. Use prompts to identify trends, flag potential issues, and generate hypotheses about experimental results or equipment performance.

4

Notion

Generate research reports

Create automated Notion pages that combine the standardized data from Airtable with AI insights from ChatGPT. Include visualizations, key findings, and recommended next steps for the research team.
