Hey there! I’m Ankita Pandey—a scientist turned entrepreneur with a passion for making scientists’ lives easier.I help scientists make the most of their time by bringing AI-powered solutions into their daily research routines. Through my product, Shadow AI, my mission is to make research faster, smarter, and a whole lot less tedious—so scientists can focus on what they love most: making discoveries that matter.Why do I do this? Because I’ve been there. I spent years in the lab, and I know exactly how much valuable time gets swallowed up by things like documenting experiments, searching for data, and planning the next steps. These tasks are essential, but they often take time away from the actual science. I remember wishing for a solution that could make the day a little lighter—something to help tackle all those repetitive, yet necessary, tasks. That’s exactly why I built Shadow AI - to be the personal research assistant I always needed.But knowing the problem wasn’t enough—I also knew that if I really wanted to create the right solution, I needed to design it properly. So, I leaned into my love for learning. I learned product design, and dove into the world of AI and tech to understand exactly how I could make this vision a reality. I wanted to bridge the gap between the challenge and the solution, and that meant picking up the skills needed to make it happen.Combining my background in science and (and now) technology, I strive to integrate advanced AI into solving the daily challenges researchers face. I understand the pain points because I’ve lived them. And now, I’m using that experience to create customized solutions that fit right into the unique workflows of labs everywhere.I’m all about helping research teams streamline their work, eliminate the busywork, and get back to the exciting stuff- pushing boundaries and making breakthroughs.If you're a research scientist curious about how AI can transform your research or boost your lab’s efficiency, feel free to drop me a DM. I’d be happy to answer your questions or provide relevant information about how Shadow AI can help.If you're interested in collaboration or just want to explore the possibilities, send me a message—let’s connect!
