AI research assistant for long PDFs, papers, and literature reviews
Upload papers and reports of hundreds of pages and get summaries, extracted findings, and specific answers in seconds without chunking the file yourself.
The assistant generates its own queries, gathers credible sources, cross-checks the information, and returns a report with citations and a reference list.
Draft literature reviews and produce formatted references in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, and IEEE styles.
Turn research data into bar charts, line graphs, pie charts, and scatter plots ready to drop into a paper or presentation.
