Drowning in tabs? Fix collaborative research chaos (Without losing your mind)
We built Collabwriting because we needed a better way to do research. Here’s how it changed everything.
Let’s paint a familiar picture:
You’re 17 tabs deep into a project, hunting for that one statistic your teammate mentioned last week.
Was it in the PDF they emailed? A Slack thread? That Google Doc from three meetings ago?
Meanwhile, your editor keeps asking, “Did we verify that source?” and your intern just sent another duplicate link.
Sounds like a regular Monday, right?
For content teams, researchers, and managers, this isn’t just “annoying” - it’s a productivity black hole. Wasted hours. Missed deadlines. The sinking feeling that your team’s best ideas are drowning in a mess of open tabs and disorganized notes.
But what if collaborative research didn’t have to feel like herding cats?
Say Hi to Collabwriting - Your team’s research brain
Yes, it’s as fun as it sounds.
We didn’t just build Collabwriting - we needed it.
One of our founders kept running into the same problems and finally decided: there had to be a better way.
- “We keep re-finding the same sources!”
- → No central hub = endless duplication.
- “Who added this comment? What does it mean?!”
- → Lost context in a sea of emails.
- “Wait, is this the final version?”
- → Feedback scattered across 8 platforms.
So instead of just dealing with it, we built the tool we wished we had.
No more “Wait, where’s that thing?” moments
No more endless scrolling, lost comments, or guessing who said what.
With Collabwriting, your team’s research stays organized, accessible, and context-rich - right where you need it.
Here’s how it works:
✅ Annotations talk back. Highlight a quote on a webpage or PDF, and leave a note like, “Hey Sam - this contradicts the Forbes study. Should we dig deeper?” No more guessing games.
✅ Every comment lives where it matters. Discuss the chart on page 3 right there - not buried in Slack thread.
✅ Version control isn’t a nightmare. Every edit and note is timestamped and attached to the source.
This is how Taaz, a content manager at a SaaS startup, uses Collabwriting:
"Last quarter, we wasted 10 hours reconciling feedback on a client whitepaper. Now, our edits live directly on the PDF. We cut review time in half.”
Your team’s “Collective memory”
Collabwriting isn’t just about organizing tabs - it’s about building a living knowledge base that gets smarter with every project.
Here’s how:
🔎 Find what you need, instantly. Looking for that 2023 industry report your intern annotated? No more digging - just search and find it in seconds.
🚀 Onboard faster. New hires don’t just see a list of links - they see why a source was saved and how it connects to past work.
🔄 Stop reinventing the wheel. Reuse past research for new campaigns instead of asking, “Didn’t we cover this in 2022?”
Collabwriting makes sure your team’s best ideas don’t get lost in the shuffle - but instead, keep building on each other.
The ultimate research copilot - Your sidekick
Collabwriting doesn’t just help you store knowledge - it helps you find and use it faster.
We know the struggle: “I don’t have time to read this 50-page study!” → We get it.
That’s where our Copilot comes in.
- “Find all mentions of ‘‘AI regulation’ on the web.”
- “Locate every article with stats on content marketing ROI.”
- ‘‘Content marketing market size - insights’’
It’s like Control+F on steroids - but smarter. Copilot scours the web, finds key insights, and highlights what matters so you don’t have to.
And the best part?
It learns from your feedback, getting better with every search.
No more endless Googling - just the right information, right when you need it.
