Fabric for chemistry students

Reaction mechanisms, lab reports, spectra, safety data sheets, lecture slides, textbook chapters, practical protocols, calculations. Chemistry students produce and consume content that spans hand-drawn mechanisms, images of spectra, spreadsheets of lab data, and dense theoretical text. The mechanism you drew in a tutorial is in your notebook. The spectrum from the practical is in a lab folder. The theory connecting them is in a lecture slide. When you're writing a lab report and need to reference the mechanism alongside your spectral data, the reconnection happens manually because the tools don't link images to text to data.

Upload your materials to Fabric. The AI assistant keeps everything searchable, including images of hand-drawn mechanisms. "Explain the mechanism for SN2 reactions using my lecture notes." "Find my lab results for the aspirin synthesis." "What did the spectra show for the esterification practical?" AI tutor that references your specific lab results and course materials.

An AI tutor for mechanisms, data, and theory

The AI assistant works from your lecture slides, lab reports, spectra images, textbook chapters, and notes. Ask it to explain a reaction mechanism using your lecturer's approach. Ask it to help you interpret spectral data by referencing the theory from your lectures. Ask it to connect your lab results to the theoretical yield and explain the discrepancy. Ask it to quiz you on functional group chemistry or reaction types from a specific module.

The assistant has memory across sessions. It remembers which practicals you've completed, which reactions you've studied, and can build on your learning.

Search across images, data, and text

AI search reads text inside images, so a photograph of a hand-drawn mechanism is searchable alongside typed notes. Spectra images with labelled peaks are findable by the labels. Search "every experiment involving an aldol reaction" or "my IR spectra from the aromatic chemistry practical" and find the material by concept across your full library.

Record lectures and lab briefings

AI voice notes record and transcribe lectures, lab briefings, and demonstrator explanations. The demonstrator's walkthrough of a technique, the lecturer's derivation, the safety briefing, all captured and searchable. Your typed notes and the transcript merge into one document. See lecture notes.

Annotate spectra, mechanisms, and protocols

Annotations let you mark up spectra images, mechanism diagrams, lab protocols, and textbook chapters with searchable notes. Label a peak. Flag an unexpected result. Note the connection between a spectrum and the reaction that produced it. Your annotations are searchable across your full library.

Write lab reports alongside your data

Draft lab reports in notes and docs with your spectra, mechanisms, and theoretical content searchable alongside. When you need to verify a result, reference a procedure, or cite the relevant theory, search without leaving the draft.

FAQs

Can Fabric search images of hand-drawn mechanisms?

Yes. AI search reads text and labels inside images. Photographs of hand-drawn work are searchable alongside typed notes.

Can the AI reference my specific lab results?

Yes. The AI assistant works from your lab reports and course materials together and can connect your data to the theory.

Can I search spectra by content?

Yes. Spectra images with labelled peaks are searchable. Describe the spectrum or the reaction and find the relevant image.

Can I record lab briefings?

Yes. AI voice notes record and transcribe any session with timestamps.

Can the AI quiz me on reactions?

Yes. Ask it to test you on mechanisms, reaction types, or functional group chemistry from your programme materials.

Does it remember what I've studied?

Yes. The assistant has memory across sessions and tracks which practicals and topics you've covered.

Can I annotate spectra with notes?

Yes. Annotations let you mark up any image or document with searchable notes.

Is my data private?

Yes. Fabric uses AES-256 encryption and is CASA Tier 2 compliant. Your data is never used to train AI models.
