A working prototype · your feedback shapes it

One place where the whole committee actually works together.

Programs and meetings, methods and interlaboratory data, the people doing the work — and the conversations that today get lost in email — all in a single shared workspace built for how ASTM committees operate.

It's not magic. It's chemistry.

Start exploring →A sandbox with sample data. Nothing here is live; explore freely — you can't break it.
The idea

A shared reference for standards work.

Think of it the way you think of a reference method: one shared standard the whole community measures against — instead of everyone working from scattered copies and lost email threads.

Every method, question, and contribution is rigorously owned by a real person — its technical resource. A question about a method routes straight to that person, not into an inbox. Interlaboratory data is gathered against a common reference the way an ILS converges on a reproducible result.

Built by AI, designed by a human — a working chemist, not a software team. And once it's built, it stands on its own: you don't need AI in the loop to use it, and you don't need AI to author your methods. The expert owns the method; the tool just gets out of the way — built for the individual practitioner as much as the committee.

What you can do

Everything a committee needs to run itself.

Each capability is a module you turn on per group — a symposium leans on the program tools, a subcommittee on meetings and balloting, a workgroup on methods and data.

Committees & dashboards

A workspace per committee, subcommittee, symposium, or workgroup — each with its own members, tools, and admins.

🗓

Program & speakers

Build a running order with computed times, track confirmations and readiness, export the ASTM technical-program form.

Meetings & governance

Run a meeting end to end — check-in, quorum and interest-balance, motions, straw polls, floor, and auto-minutes.

Present on any device

Upload a deck, present or practice on your computer, drive slides from your phone — pointer, notes, backups included.

🧪

Methods & ILS data

A home for methods the committee owns, and a place to gather interlaboratory data against a common reference.

Members & routing

Find members, message them directly, and route a question about a method straight to its technical resource.

Who does what

Roles, and what each one can do.

Access is scoped per role — everyone sees what they need, nothing they don't.

Global Administrator

Platform owner
  • Creates committees and events
  • Invites people across the platform
  • Sees and manages every group

Committee Chair

Local admin
  • Runs their own committee/event
  • Invites and assigns members
  • Program, meetings, present, reports

Symposia Admin

ASTM staff
  • Program, speakers & abstracts
  • ASTM technical-program form
  • Venue & logistics, direct line to chairs

Presenter

Speaker
  • Their talk, slot, deck & readiness
  • The full program with their slot marked
  • Present from the app; message the chairs

Member

Participant / voting member
  • Their committee's discussion & documents
  • Meetings, check-in, and voting
  • Find and message other members
Getting around

Your first few minutes.

01

Pick a committee

Use the dashboard bar up top to move between committees, subcommittees, and the symposium.

02

Open the tools

Each committee has tabs — Program, Meetings, Present, Discussion, Documents. Open one and try it.

03

Run something

Start a meeting, post a discussion, or spin up your own committee with + New. It's a sandbox — experiment.

04

Tell us what's missing

Use the 🚩 Report button on any screen to flag anything — it comes straight to us, tagged with where you are.

This is an early prototype, shared for your feedback. Everything is sample data in a sandbox — poke at all of it, you can't break anything. Tell us what would make this genuinely useful for ASTM, and it shapes what we build next.
