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.
AI research platform for reading, understanding and writing scientific papers
Open or upload a paper and ask questions, get plain-language explanations of highlighted passages, and pull out methods, results and limitations conversationally.
Search a large scholarly index spanning Google Scholar, PubMed and arXiv, then generate structured literature reviews and related-work sections from what you find.
An AI Writer for drafts, a paraphraser for academic tone, and a citation generator that formats references in popular styles.
Turn tables and results in a paper into structured data, and check whether a manuscript reads as AI-generated with a built-in detector.
