From research users to industry needs

Zhiway began in academic services and now develops scientific data services, signal discovery and AI systems for research. WENTOR is our research product line.

CURRENT FOCUS

What we do today

Research AI: A local research workspace, FDE development and hardware/software solutions for institutional knowledge retention, process tracking and direction management.
Scientific data & applications: MCP sources, research-decision SaaS, scientific software distribution and a research-commercialization P2B2B platform in development.

OUR JOURNEY

Products and business shaped by real problems

2024

Early 2024 · Academic workbench

ThesisAgent

We entered research through an AI academic-writing workbench, gaining SaaS experience and understanding specialist users. As technology changed, rebuilding no longer offered a viable return; TA operations have stopped.

2025

Late 2025 · Retain knowledge

HashMind

TA showed us that methods and knowledge needed to be reused in later tasks. HashMind addressed collaboration and knowledge retention. Its public online knowledge base has closed; private deployment and local-network interconnection remain core capabilities.

2026.02

February 2026 · Into institutional work

Research Claw

We put the workbench and knowledge capabilities into a local assistant, then used FDE to connect real projects. It is now evolving toward a GUI+CUI research AgentOS.

NOW

Current focus · From sources to work

Data services & applications

Literature-investigation problems in Research Claw led to Idea Network. Adding patents and other data opened applications in research decisions, scientific product sales and research commercialization.
