BrollyHub · A research & academia ecosystem by LCFD
Five apps for the way research and teaching actually happen.
BrollyHub is the collaboration line published by LCFD. Five apps that share one identity, one file system, one meeting room, and one AI layer. Each one stands alone. Together they replace the stack of seven SaaS subscriptions a research group, a faculty, or a department never wanted to manage.

02 Why they share a roof
One verified identity
Sign in to any app once. Your verified academic profile, your reputation, your contacts, your projects move with you.
One file system
Shelves sits underneath every app. Drop a file in Huddle, find it in Academia, cite it from Brolly AI.
One meeting room
Huddle records the meeting that produced a document, and the document remembers the meeting that produced it.
One AI layer
Brolly AI runs across meetings, documents, and shelves, grounded in your institution's data, not the open web.
We did not set out to build five apps. We kept removing the moments where a researcher had to copy a file from one tab to another, and what is left is the ecosystem.
