On-Platform Chat

Collaboration Without the Friction

Research doesn’t happen in isolation - and neither should your communication.

TSP’s Chat feature is a built-in messaging system that brings collaboration directly into your research environment. Whether you’re co-curating a vertical, reaching out to a new expert, or following up on a shared insight, you can connect with others instantly - without ever leaving the platform.

Designed for high-trust, high-signal communication, the Chat feature helps you move faster, stay aligned, and build meaningful research relationships.

Built for Research Collaboration

Chat is context-aware, vertical-connected, and researcher-focused.

No more fragmented workflows across email threads, Slack, or external messaging tools.

Message any TSP user directly within verticals

Collaborate in real time or asynchronously

Stay within the vertical context for faster reference and decision-making

Build new partnerships without cold outreach fatigue

Whether you're clarifying a citation, proposing a funding idea, or planning a submission, the Chat feature meets you where your work is happening.

Find and Message the Right People

Every vertical includes a People category - automatically populated with relevant researchers, inventors, and domain experts, as well as any other TSP user invited to your vertical.

Once you invite someone to your vertical, you can:

Start a direct message with one click

View a user’s contributions across verticals

Invite them to collaborate or co-curate

Learn more about the People category

Organize Conversations by Vertical

Messages aren’t lost in a sea of threads.
TSP lets you anchor conversations to specific verticals or topics, keeping your discussions focused and searchable.

You can:

Track who’s active in which vertical

Maintain multiple topic threads

Coordinate editing responsibilities and insights in real time

This isn’t just messaging - it’s research alignment.
