Deep-research AI that verifies every reasoning step before it answers
See the intermediate steps and checks behind a conclusion, so a brief can be audited rather than taken on faith.
Claims are tied to sources inside the generated brief, making follow-up verification straightforward.
Fork a completed inquiry to explore a sub-question or alternative angle while keeping the original reasoning intact.
Saved inquiries are searchable in full text, so prior research becomes a reusable knowledge base.
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.
