# Overview

> Qualia is a coding agent for researchers.

Qualia is a research agent built by [Quadrillion Labs](https://quadrillion.io) that runs, creates, and manages notebooks. You interact with it through natural conversation — it writes and executes code, manages experiments, and displays results inline.
