Turn a research question into hypotheses, experiment plans and traceable reports.
Bring a rough research question and Acade helps reshape it into testable hypotheses worth investigating.
Generate structured experiment or study plans around your hypotheses so the method is laid out before work begins.
Compile findings into written research reports where the reasoning can be followed rather than taken on faith.
Built for the academic research workflow — literature questions, proposed studies and analytical write-ups — rather than generic chat.
Anthropic's frontier AI workspace powered by Claude 5.5 for agentic coding, analysis, and nuanced writing.
Combines frontier Claude Opus 5.5 and high-speed Sonnet 5.5 with configurable extended thinking, up to 1M-token context windows, and 128K-token outputs.
Pro, Max, and Team Premium plans bundle Claude Code for autonomous command-line software engineering, test execution, and repository-wide refactoring.
Renders live interactive web apps, visualizations, spreadsheets, and formatted PowerPoint decks in a dedicated workspace panel alongside the chat.
Grounds conversations in shared project knowledge bases and connects directly to local filesystems, GitHub, Slack, and internal databases via MCP.
