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 answers grounded in 300M+ scholarly full texts
Ask a research question and get an answer assembled from the scientific literature, with every claim linked to its originating paper and sentence.
Search more than 300 million articles, preprints, books, patents and datasets using full text rather than abstracts alone.
See at a glance whether later work supported, contrasted with, or mentioned a paper, claim, author, journal or institution.
Run Scite inside ChatGPT, Claude and other MCP-compatible assistants, or tap citation data through the Zotero plugin and browser extension.
